Is it possible for both the Packers and Lions to lose? I just don't want to hear whichever one wins, about how they are going to the Super Bowl...

Tie...

I've already thought thru this  - I gotta root for the Lions on that one.

GB dropping a home division game is pretty epic, and I think lions are capable of winning there too.

This also means no games that really matter Sunday afternoon. Thank God for fantasy.

Agreed. F*ck it, let it rip right out of the gate. Redzone Channel all day Sunday, SNF Lions-Packers and then MNF where JJM wins the hearts and minds of The Land of 10,000 Lakes.

What I focus on in a matchup like this is the losing team: enjoying the fan's misery, hearing the hyperbole by the media on the team that loses and how much they now suck, etc. Enjoyable things like that. Especially when the Vikings don't play until the next night, its gold.

Wonder how week 1 results will line up in week 18 when it's Lions at Bears and GB at Minnesota.
