In a game that can only be seen with a clear view of the southern sky (which sounds like a great album name for some indie lo-fi band), The Green Bay Packers play the Dallas Cowboys for a battle of NFC supremacy. Both teams are 10 and 1. Everyone expected the Cowboys to be there. The Green Bay Packers, though, are just as shocked as anybody (and to think, I drafted Brett FAHRV as my backup Q in Fantasy).

But fans of the Honolulu Blue may want to consider heading out to the sports bar tonight, and they’ll want to wear their cheeseheads. Here’s why (and for credit, I heard this on Sean Baligian’s show).

If the Packers beat Dallas tonight, they have the inside track on home field advantage. Assuming that GB and the Cowboys then win out up to the last week of the schedule, the Pack has that locked up going into their regular season finale against Detroit. That game then becomes meaningless for The Cheesiest, and the Lions can stay above water, they could use that game to get themselves into the playoffs.

Now, there’s a lot of assumptions there. First, that the Packers don’t slip up elsewhere (and they shouldn’t, the rest of their schedule is vs. Oakland, @ St. Louis, and @ Chicago). Secondly, that the Lions can win at least 2 games leading up to the final week. That means playing the game of your life against Minnesota (…it could happen. Purple Touchdown Jesus isn’t 100%, and Chester Taylor can be mortal at times), and taking care of business against KC.

Now you’re pissed that you can’t see the game. Sorry.
