The Green Bay Packers (6-8) will head south to take on the Miami Dolphins (8-6) this Sunday.

It is the second straight year and the fourth time in franchise history that the Packers will play on Christmas. It will be the first time Green Bay will play on the road on the holiday.
The Packers have won four of the last five matchups with the Dolphins, including the last time they played (31-12 in 2018 in Green Bay).
Seven of the last 11 matchups between the Packers and Dolphins have been decided by single digits.
Green Bay has scored 20-plus points against Miami in each of the last seven games.
The Packers last played at Miami in 2014, a 27-24 victory.
This will be only the second December game for Green Bay at Miami (Dec. 19, 1971).
Green Bay is 9-5 in the state of Florida in the months of December/January (1-1 at Jacksonville / 0-1 at Miami / 8-3 at Tampa Bay).
Miami leads the regular-season series, 10-5, and won the first eight games between the two franchises, but Green Bay has won five of the last seven contests.
The Dolphins won the first six games in Miami against the Packers while Green Bay has won the last two (2006, 2014). Five of the eight games the Packers have played at the Dolphins have been decided by single digits, including three by three points.
QB Aaron Rodgers has started three games against the Dolphins, leading the Packers to two victories, including his only game at Miami (2014). After posting an 84.5 passer rating with a TD and INT in his first game against Miami in 2010, Rodgers has gone on to record ratings of 99.7 and 112.1 in the next two games (2014, 2018), combining for five passing TDs and zero INTs.

LB Preston Smith has faced the Dolphins once (2015), posting a sack, a QB hit, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
The Packers have won 14 consecutive games in December, tying the second-longest such streak in NFL history. The only team with a longer streak of December wins was the Chargers, who won 18 straight in the calendar's final month in 2006-2009 (Elias Sports Bureau).

If Tua is on, this game could be pretty tough. Barry's coverage schemes against Tyreek and Waddle worry me.

I like that weather, high of 62, shouldn’t be a factor at all.

Last fair weather game till we go to Minny on Jan 15.

If we’re being fair, Barry’s coverage schemes against me and BF004 should worry you, too.

I don't think he's saying that at all. He probably feels winning this one is a long shot and a loss over there will be the end of this playoff talk. I hate to agree with him. I hope we are wrong..

I’m unsure what to expect. I continue to maintain that if you lose to the dolphins, you suck. If you beat the dolphins you are decent.

Because they beat bad teams and lose to decent teams.

So I guess I find out what my opinion should be on where this team stands based on this game

As for the recent hype, beating the bears and rams don’t impress me much. The next three games will tell a lot tho.

We are worried about beating a 8-6 team, of course we suck/ have sucked/ and may continue to suck

that doesn't mean we shouldn't root and expect to win, seriously what will you and others do if this team continues to lose next year and the one after, will you continue to root for this team?

maybe losing for almost two decades straight is the difference between me and some of you, through all of that losing I remained a Packer hopeful, bought team merchandise, drove 300 miles to Lambeau to root my team on even though it seemed like a worthless venture, I sincerly hope that you and others here would do the same.
I remain ever thankful that I wasn't born in a Detroit fan ship household

You are a strange creature Yoop.

What you don’t understand is some people will lose a battle in order to win a war. If they pull for a loss, they still have the packers best interest at heart. They may want to lose in order to get a coach fired they believe is holding the team back, or want to lose in order to get a premium draft pick. All sorts of reason.

However, ghost implied none of those things..he just predicted the game as he saw it would be.

And finally…you said packers fans should “expect” to win each game…that’s not apart of being a good fan at all. That’s just being an insane person.
