Ha ha, looks like the Packers made ALL the NBC talking heads look pretty stupid eh??

All picked the Chiefs to win……and oh my, lookie here Green Bay won………27 - 19. The Packers played just a great game. Made me so proud….they’re the youngest team in the NFL.

That it's nearly always a safe bet to take the opposite team when the talking heads panel all pick the same team to win the game. It's funny how often that proves true.

Love that place.
Great food and such an old timey,Wisconsin north woods atmosphere.

They even have a little cheese tray on the table when you sit down and the waitresses are all local ladies. So friendly.

Packer player, Johnathon Owens, and she is sitting with the regular fans, not in a high class suite like Taylor Swift.

The Packers are surprising a lot of folks this season. Even some of us oldsters from the Lombardi days!

Glad the Packers beat them. Now if more teams beat the Chiefs. And the Packers continue winning.

Their on-line experts, anyway. Everyone there picked both the Packers and Dolphins, as did the "experts" at some other outlets I perused and I imagine the studio experts did as well, since I missed the show.
