The Buffalo Bills and Green Bay Packers are set to face off once again later this evening. They scrimmaged against one another just two weeks ago. Kickoff is set for 6 PM.

The Green Bay Packers are looking to bounce back after getting beat up in their last outing against the Bills. Brett Favre was quoted as saying that his team got whipped the last time the faced off, and that he was lucky the scrimmage was not full contact. Packers offensive coordinator Tom Rossley has assured the local media that his team will be better prepared to counter the Bills blitz packages. Rookie QB Aaron Rodgers will back up Brett Favre and should see extended action. The Green Bay Packers offensive line will try their best to keep his jersey clean.

For the Buffalo Bills, the running game will be a major issue. Since Willis McGahee is nursing a sore leg it is unlikely that he will see much playing time. That being said, there are a handful of other solid runners that are vying for the role of backup to McGahee. Veterans Joe Burns and Shaud Williams as well as free agent ReShard Lee and rookie Lionel Gates are all battling for the #2 spot. At this point Shaud Williams seems to have the inside track, but coach Mike Mularkey has stated that race is still too close to call. Tonight's game may go a long way towards declaring a winner.
