It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for APC’s weekly NFL picks. Here’s fair warning: Green Bay Packers fans probably aren’t going to like us very much this week.
That’s because nine of the 12 APC contributors who are making weekly game picks have projected that the Atlanta Falcons will defeat the Packers at the Georgia Dome this coming Sunday. Do we hope that we’re wrong? Of course we do. We’d gladly give up a game to Mike, Alex, and Paul if the Packers would move to 5-2 on the season. However, most of us expect that given the players left at cornerback and the fact that a guy named Julio Jones is lining up on the other side of the line, Green Bay will have a tough time stopping Atlanta’s offense.
