Morrison, who played offensive back with Chicago Bears and Cleve- land Browns, is Hal Kelly’s guest expert every Sunday afternoon when a top NFL game is seen on the CBC-TV network. “Coach Vince Lombardi has a solid powerhouse at Green Bay,” explains Morrison. “The Packers’ offense and defense are good and they have great depth at all positions. I think they’re one of the best teams ever to play in the league.” Detroit or possibly Baltimore might challenge Green Bay next season but the Packers could lead the Western Conference for four or five years, he says. “It looks like the New York Giants will win the Eastern Conference again,” says Morrison, “but Green Bay should beat them in the NFL Final.” (The NFL Championship Final will be seen on CBC-TV, Sun- day, Dec. 30).
