Forgive us here at Acme Packing Company if we are unimpressed with the rest of the NFL’s schedule this Sunday outside of the Green Bay Packers’ game today. That game between the Packers and the Detroit Lions is getting the attention that it deserves, with a premium TV spot as the late afternoon game and a nearly national audience.
As for the rest of the NFL? Well yes, there are 12 other games taking place today, but none hold a candle to the hype around this NFC North matchup. In the early time slot, the best game might be Broncos-Ravens, a matchup of 5-3 teams that features one overachieving team and another that is currently falling a bit short of early expectations for their record through eight games.
