The game in GB on Sunday will likely be below zero once the sun goes down. That certainly swings things in GB's favor.

More on these playoff games not being sold out:

Most teams send season-ticket holders invoices for the playoffs in late November or early December, sometimes before they have clinched a postseason spot. Typically, they require purchase of two rounds of games. In the Packers' case, invoices arrived in the middle of a 2-5-1 stretch that made the postseason seem highly unlikely. In most instances, payment is required up front, and if the team doesn't get a home playoff game, those funds are credited toward the following year's season tickets.

Generally, if a fan wants to cancel a team's season tickets, a refund can be arranged -- via written request -- to be processed at some point after Jan. 31, according to the policies I've seen. At the very least, however, teams hold the money for about three months -- interest-free, of course -- and up to six based on when season-ticket payments would otherwise be due.

You might think NFL season-ticket holders can afford to float that type of money, given what they already spend on an annual basis, but the numbers show that many of them hesitated.

Another note, Seattle (which sold out its playoff game in like 30 minutes) has a "pay as we play" policy where they take your payment info but don't charge you for anything until they have clinched it.

In addition, the league sets playoff ticket prices not the team. So, in a small market with a bad economy like Cincy the price hikes can have a profound effect on sales.

The hyper-democrat dinging someone for (potentially) being gay? That's our Araysar!

As for the game, yeah, I'm obviously hoping the cold is a factor. With the number of defensive guys hurt, I don't think it will be enough of a factor (and am frankly shocked how many people are picking Green Bay).

Sure, GB finally beating the 49ers and then going into Seattle to get revenge on the Fail Mary? That would be a classic sports story. I just don't see it happening.

As to Cutler, that contract is inline with what Ryan and Flacco got - that's just the price of not getting lucky with a recent QB draft pick in the modern era.

Cutler gets $126M over 7 years with $54M guaranteed. Price of a franchise QB these days I suppose.

Shit man, if that was the Ravens I'd probably just go.

Green Bay on the other hand:

And Green Bay, which is staring at minus-30 degree wind chills for Sunday?s game against San Francisco, had 7,500 tickets remaining going into Thursday.
