Who's going to cover the AVERAGE Olsen? Bishop and Woodson will take turns. Olsen has never had good games against the Packers and see no reason why that should change on Sunday. Don't be fooled by Olsen's performance against Seattle. He beat zero coverage by Seattle, clearly a breakdown in their coverage. Packers secondary is the best in the NFL, Jets are a close second.
Personally, this game scares the crap out of me. Terry McCauley will be the lead official in this game and he officiated the first game in Chicago where GB was flagged 18 times for over 100 yards. He'll have a different crew, but when GB ranks 3rd in the league in fewest penalties, it makes you wonder if McCauley has a grudge against GB. This game is eerily similar in that it was a 3 point spread with heavy action on GB. Not saying it was fixed, but McCauley and his crew that night clearly went out of their way to control that football game to the benefit of the Bears.
I got down on GB -3, just hope this game is played on the square. With heavy $$ on GB and McCauley reffing, I smell a trap... Hope I'm wrong.
