The Pack is playing outstanding football at exactly the right time of year.

The Pack are 11-2 at home in the playoffs.

The Pack beat the Seahawks once already this year in Lambeau, and that was when the temperature was a relatively balmy mid-forties. I'm thinking Lambeau in January = sub freezing temps so Seahawks fans ought not get their hops up...

...that way it will be that much more joyous if they can pull it off.

I haven't written the Hawks off completely though. After all, they did have an opportunity to win nearly every game they lost on the road this year and in the playoffs on the road at Lambeau in the freezing cold I expect that's about all you can ask for.............

Another thing I think may play into this a little...

...Matt Hasselbeck has looked an awful lot like Brett Favre this year, especially to anyone who's followed Brett's career very closely. Its in the release, the way he moves out of the pocket, the instinct of finding the open man when he is in trouble....the winning.
