Rodgers Assures Media After Victory Over Eagles: "This Isn't Easy"

Many would agree, though, you make it seem so.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers told the media after yesterday's 53-20 blowout of the Eagles that what he and the team are doing right now isn't easy.

"This is not easy," he assured the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "This is a tough job. A lot of preparation goes into it, a lot of guys working together. It takes all 11."
Be that as it may, Rodgers is clearly one of the more important ones on the field. In Green Bay's last two games alone, he's thrown 9 TD and 0 INT, helping the Pack out-score their opponents 108-34.
Basically, the stats don't appear to support his modesty here, as necessary as it is.

Forecast Predicts 30% Chance of Snow For Sunday's Game

Weather.com is reporting that there is a 30% chance of snow for Sunday's Packers/Eagles game. 

As for the temperature, the site also said that Green Bay's high for the day is just 29 degrees, while the low is 16. 15-mile-per-hour winds are also expected around kickoff, which was moved from noon to 3:25 earlier this month. 

In other words, it will be pretty cold during the contest, so make sure to wear plenty of layers if you're going. You don't want to be at Lambeau when it's freezing out, regardless of how much the Packers are winning.

Packers Listed as 6 Point Favorites for Sunday's Eagles Game

The Packers have been listed as six point favorites for Sunday's Eagles game.

The Packers are coming off Sunday's 41-point blowout of the Bears, and currently sit at a perfect 4-0 at home. The Eagles, meanwhile, are 2-2 on the road. 

Green Bay was seven point favorites for last week's game against Chicago, making this line a little strange. The Eagles have too been playing well lately, beating up the Panthers Monday despite having to start Mark Sanchez.

Sanchez is also expected to play this week, something that should give the Pack the advantage if their defense can dominate again.

Packers to Wear Throwback Uniforms Sunday

The Packers will wear throwback uniforms in Sunday's game against the Eagles, The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Tyler Dunne reports.

The jerseys, which are navy blue with a yellow circle in the center containing the player's number, will be accompanied by an all-yellow helmet. The Packers also wore those last year when they blew out the Browns in Jermichael Finley's infamous neck injury contest.  

In previous seasons, though, the Packers have usually stuck with the brown ones pictured above, which are meant to simulate old leather helmets. As Dunne notes, they first dawned the set in a 2010 meeting with the 49ers.

Week 11 Packers/Eagles Game's Start Time Pushed Back to 3:25 p.m.

The start time for Week 11's game between the Eagles and Packers at Lambeau Field has been pushed back to 3:25 p.m., ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky reports.

The network which will air the contest, FOX, originally protected it in order too keep it from switching to primetime, but the league has gone ahead and done so anyway, Demovsky writes.

The league also moved the Vikings/Bears matchup of the same day from FOX to CBS in a related move, just in case you were wondering. It is too set to start at noon, where it will justifiably stay.
