Kickoff: 9 o'clock, Channel 7 and WDFN 1130. Line: Packers by 6 1/2.

Story line: Temperatures are likely to be in the 20s or low 30s at game time, with snow a possibility. That puts an emphasis on the rushing, which is a concern for the Packers with Ahman Green, who has been slowed by sore ribs. The Rams allow 4.8 yards a carry.

Notable: St. Louis has lost three of four; Green Bay has won five straight. ... The Rams are 27-0 when Marshall Faulk rushes for at least 100 yards. Quarterback Marc Bulger is 23-9 (.719) as a starter. ... Packers end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila has five sacks in the last three games after having 1 1/2 through the first seven games. ... Green Bay has allowed a league-low five sacks. ... Quarterback Brett Favre will make his 219th consecutive start, counting the playoffs. He is 36-1 at home when the temperature at kickoff is 34 or below. ... The Packers have a minus-13 turnover differential; the Rams are minus-11. ... St. Louis has capitalized on 12 turnovers to outscore Green Bay, 79-41, in their last two meetings.

Green did not practice all week after being hurt last Sunday in Houston and still is listed as questionable.

The coaching staff had Green wear a flak jacket Saturday when they put him through some drills to see how the ribs felt. Coach Mike Sherman said a decision would not be made until Monday.

"I think there's always that opportunity that if he takes a direct shot, it could be tough on him," he said.

Running backs coach Johnny Roland said Davenport definitely will be active after sitting out last Sunday because of a hamstring injury. Fullback Nick Luchey (shoulder) also is optimistic he will be able to play Monday.
