Green Bay Packers

Not played yet · now 2–2

Say this

“Packers? Not till Sunday, at home to the Bears. Two and two. I’m reserving judgement, which is what two and two is for.”

If they reply

• “Bears at Green Bay on Sunday, then.”
  “Two and two against three and one. The Bears have the better record and the Packers have the house. Swings and roundabouts.”
• “Did the Packers play this week?”
  “Not yet. Only Tampa Bay and Dallas have played since Monday. I’d keep that quiet in the canteen.”

If you’re stuck

“The thing about the Packers is a team at two and two can be anything you like for a week, and they are making full use of it.”

Bluff difficulty: 1/5 — Quiet week. Nod at the calendar.
