team has to meet the Green Bay Packers next. Collier feels the way he does because his team is in good shape physically and his quarterback. Frank Ryan, finally is 100 per cent well if you don't count that scratch across his ! face he received in last Sunday's 34-14 win over the Steelers. The fact that the Packers will 1 be minus Elijah Pitts and Jim Grabowski on Sunday doesn’t exactly make Collier sit down and cry’, either. He says he has a healthy respect for their replacements — Donny Anderson and Ben Wilson. More important the wise, old Cleveland coach says he has the whole secret of professional football. “It’s how much your club improves in the second half of the season.” Collier claims. With a sound, healthy Frank Ryan bearing down harder than ever. Cleveland should be better from here on in. And with a sound, healthy Vince Lombardi cracking down harder than ever. Green Bay has to be better. So despite the fact Ryan is in the best shape he has been all year and that Pitts and Grabowski won't play, the pick here is Green Bay over Cleveland in the NFL’s big one of the week. In the others: Baltimore over Atlanta — Possibly by as little as a field goal. Dallas over New Orleans — j Don Meredith . . . Dan Reeves ] • . . Don Perkins . . . Need | more?
