Here’s what I think I’d do, given the current state of the defense and the Packers’ general performance on their three game losing streak. If you want to get your gambling freak on with these picks (and why you’d trust my picks given my current track record, I have no idea), you can bet on Green Bay Packer games at BetUS.com.

@ Seattle - Seattle is favored by three. Koren Robinson’s role will probably be diminished as the core set of receivers returns to health. But the Packers are not playing to their ability (shorthanded as they are on D). I’d take the Packers.

Indianapolis @ Lambeau - From what I’ve seen of the Colts, they’ve been getting pushed around. Dungy had originally built that team for speed, not strength, and it would appear they aren’t even that fast now. The Texans nearly beat ‘em last week. But with that win, and this being their second roadie in a row, I think the Packers can beat ‘em. If the Packers are getting any points, take ‘em.

@ Tennessee - They’re off next week, then face the Royals in KC in week seven. Oh, it’s not the Royals? It’s the Chiefs? Same difference. The following week they play the Colts at home for a pretty big AFC game. Might be ripe for the picking. But unless our defense gets healthy, I wouldn’t bank on it.

@ Minnesota - A bag of hammers for a QB and a skilled but overpromising Adrian Peterson, in the Dome of Mediocrity. This is a case where the Favre Turf Jinx won’t hurt the Pack. Pick Green Bay.

Bears @ Lambeau - Lovey loves him some Packers. He always has his guys ready for the Packers and the Bears are winning against teams they aren’t supposed to (and the teams they’re supposed to crush are getting pile-driven). Take the Bears.

@ New Orleans - They lost two close games against what are turning out to be two top-tier teams. Let’s face it, the Packers are not top-tier right now. In their house, I’m taking the Saints.

Carolina @ Lambeau - Third tough game in a row. If Rodgers still has two shoulders at this point in the season, they have a chance. But I’d take the Panthers.

Houston @ Lambeau - At least there’s still one game that’s a presumptive win. Packers big.

@Jacksonville - Some pick them to go to the Superbowl. I doubt it, but they’re still a tough win. I’d take the Jags.

@ Chicago - Bears again.

Detroit @ Lambeau - The Bikini Girls will rally the squad to victory against what may be a 1-14 team. If the Lions have no wins at this point, however, they may put it all on the line in this game and only take 30% of their plays off, just to avoid the “perfect” season. That could make it tough on the Pack, even if the stands are filled with young, tanned women wearing only dental floss in sub-zero temps.

Add to these picks the Packers’ current record of 2-3 and we have ourselves a 7-9 season, and probably missing the playoffs. Maybe you’d be better off making your NFL betting picks on a team other than the Packers. And if you did, I happen to know of a good sportsbook, if you get my drift.

Maybe I oughta buy that Brett Favre jersey in New York Jets colors.
