  1. What are the Packers waiting for? Why haven't they given Nick Collins a contract extension?: http://tinyurl.com/yeqztus
  2. Will Nick Collins be upset over Brandon Chillar's new contract? His position coach says no: http://tinyurl.com/5p7g2w
  3. Stick a fork in Falcons. It comes down to four NFC teams vying for three playoff berths: Packers, Cowboys, Eagles and Giants.
  4. Cowboys might struggle to make playoffs. Brutal schedule: San Diego (9-3), at New Orleans (12-0), at Washington (3-9), Philadelphia (8-4).
  5. If the playoffs started today, the Packers would be the No. 6 seed in the NFC and open at Arizona in wild-card round. Tough matchup.
  6. It's a virtual toss-up, but I'm picking the Ravens to edge the Packers by a narrow margin. Here's why: http://tinyurl.com/yj4c79e
  7. Ravens LB Ray Lewis admires Aaron Rodgers' scrambling ability. "When he gets out of the pocket he does make a lot of plays with his legs."
  8. "We’ve been playing pretty competitively throughout (the season)," said Harbaugh. "We just didn’t find a way to win games."
  9. Ravens have lost narrowly to Cincinnati (17-14), Minnesota (33-31), and Indianapolis (17-15) this season.
  10. Ravens coach John Harbaugh didn’t say it directly in a conference call today, but it’s obvious he believes his team is better than 6-5.
  11. Brett Favre has been named one of Barbara Walters' 10 most fascinating people in 2009. What could possibly top that, other than MVP award?
  12. Packers rank among NFL's top-10 in several categories: http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/ic/blogs/insider/index.shtml
  13. Glass half empty: Packers have lost 8 of their last 10 on Monday night. Glass half full: Packers 10-6 all-time at Lambeau on Monday night.
  14. Packers 18-4 at home in Dec. and Jan. regular-season games since 2000, trailing only the Pats (19-3), Broncos (16-3) and Steelers (19-4).
  15. Since 2000, Packers third-best (30-12) in December and January regular-season games. New England (34-7) and Pittsburgh (32-11) top list.
  16. Two years ago during the Jon Ryan era, the Packers ranked 10th in net punting average (37.6). Today they rank last in the NFL (33.5).
  17. Packers giving up 24.3 yards per kickoff return. Only once since 1970 have they allowed a worse average.
  18. If not for sub-standard special teams play, the Packers could be challenging the Vikings for the division title: http://tinyurl.com/yfzj5dl
  19. I love when Bill Belichick goes for it on fourth down. He's done it twice vs. Saints tonight. More NFL coaches need to loosen their collars.
  20. Is Packers No. 1-ranked defense best in NFL, or the beneficiary of facing offensively challenged teams like Lions, Rams, Browns and Bucs?
