The Cowboys have obviously already won the cheerleader battle, but the Pack should take this one.
Go Pack!

Weather report for Sunday night? Could be a factor in for a team that is 1-6 and gets down by a couple scores early.

My personal forecast -- and I'm going out on a big limb here, folks, especially in light of the game being 3 days away -- is for 45F, at kickoff.
I have it on good authority that the 'Boys equipment manager has packed several extra pairs of panties...
...for those players that are too chilly to go clamando.

Beware, thought. The Cowboys could be in a mean mood. GB can't let up the intensity.
