Next game: Monday, November 24 at New Orleans
Packers Gameday at 4:30 p.m. on Newsradio 620 WTMJ and a live blog here

Week 14:
Houston (3-7) at Green Bay
Jacksonvile (4-6) at Chicago
Minnesota at Detroit (0-10)

I see no issue with saying that any of these games should go to the teams in the chase.

Green Bay ought to easily blow out the often-game-but-one-bagel-short-of-a-dozen Texans.

The Bears should have no trouble with Jacksonville, and the Minnesota Golden Gophers could beat the Lions.

Forecasted "on-paper" standings after Week 14:
Minnesota 8-5
Chicago 7-6
Green Bay 6-7

Week 15:
Green Bay at Jacksonville (4-6)
New Orleans (5-5) at Chicago
Minnesota at Arizona (7-3)

The divisional races get closer here. Green Bay, though it will be challenged in the slightly cool Florida swamps, can probably get the pundits to notch a W in that column.

Chicago at home against New Orleans in December? Money.

Minnesota on the road, meanwhile, may become cannon fodder to Kurt "The Desert Bombadier" Warner and his main gunners, Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald.
