LAST WEEK THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS TEAM
SEWED UP THE TITLE OF NUMBER TWO SEED
EARNING THE PRIVILEGE OF SITTING AT HOME
WHILE WILDCARD TEAMS GET UP TO SPEED

IT TOOK A WIN OVER A LISTLESS GIANTS TEAM
TO PUT THE VIKINGS INTO THIS SPOT
MINNESOTA'S TEAM LOOKED PRETTY GOOD
WHILE THE HAPLESS NEW YORKERS DID NOT

IT'S SAID "TO THE VICTOR GO THE SPOILS"
IN THIS CHANCE THAT'S THE CHANCE TO REST
WHILE STAYING AT HOME AND WATCHING
WHO'LL PROVIDE NEXT WEEKEND'S TEST
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE PACKERS WENT OUT TO THE DESERT
AND PUSHED THE CARDINALS TEAM AROUND
CLEARLY GETTING THE BETTER OF THEM
THOUGH THE CARDS WON THEIR DIVISION CROWN

THE PACKERS HAVE WON SEVEN OF EIGHT
AND EACH WEEK LOOK A LITTLE STRONGER
THE PLAYERS AND COACHES WILL DO ALL THEY CAN
TO EXTEND THAT STREAK A LITTLE LONGER

AFTER WALLOPING THE CARDINALS LAST SUNDAY
CAN THIS WEEK'S CONTEST TURN OUT THE SAME?
THE PACKERS' COACHES WILL HAVE TO BE ALERT
FOR SUBTLE CHANGES IN ARIZONA'S GAME

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THEY'VE FACED EACH OTHER
FROM PRESEASON TO LAST WEEK TO THIS
AND WHILE THE PACKERS MAY RESPECT THE CARDS
THEY'LL BE THROWING THEM A GOOD BYE KISS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE TEAMS PLAYING SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
AREN'T REALLY SECOND RATE AT ALL
THEY'VE FOUGHT AND CLAWED AND STRUGGLED
TO PLAY SOME POSTSEASON FOOTBALL

THIS IS THE START OF A NEW AND INTENSE SEASON
WHERE THE MARGIN OF ERROR IS NONE
BUT THE CHALLENGE AND THREAT OF AN ABRUPT END
IS WHAT MAKES WATCHING THEE GAMES SO MUCH FUN

THIS WEEK THE COWBOYS WILL HOGTIE THE EAGLES
AFTER THE BENGALS DEVOUR THE JETS
A BATTERED TOM BRADY IS NO MATCH FOR THE RAVENS
WHILE THE PACK'S NOT PLAYED THEIR BEST GAME YET

"JUMPING FROM THE FRYING PAN INTO THE FIRE
WILL BE THE WAY THE WINNING TEAMS WILL FEEL
FOR NEXT WEEK THE COMPETITION WILL BE TOUGHER
AS THE STUFF OF CHAMPIONS STARTS TO BE REVEALED
