One could argue that NE will bounce this coming weekend off the emotionally charged game yesterday.
Bears under Lovie tend to play well in Minnesota. Who knows what Jets team will show up and I hope the last week of the season matters at least for the Packers

Lucky is a good way to put it though they do exemplify the luck = preparation meeting opportunity. They caught Philly on a bad afternoon and the wind was totally out of the Eagles sails when Vick threw the tipped ball interception. It was like when Rocky cut the Russian (hyperbole).
The Bears-Packers game on Monday night earlier this year was brutal. I think GB is playing quite a bit better now than they were then. As far as Minnesota, they and Dallas have the potential to play a huge role in the NFC Playoffs without even being there. Minnesota is not playing as well as Dallas right now but I'd hate to have to play them if they continue to improve.
I hear you on the Pats regressing a bit but they're so switched on right now I don't know if a letdown game would even equal a loss.
