Predict the score: Packers at Bears on MNF

[mmmdk]

It's Bears week! Both team are 2-0 and it's a MNF game. It's classic football and the greatest rivalry in NFL.

It'll be a close game; Bears are peaking early on and Packers are really good but hasn't been playing top notch football...yet! Packers have the most room to improve from but I sense a wakeup...loss for the Packers.

Bears 34 Packers 31 in OT

Pack 7 Bears 49 in a rout

[channtheman]

Thread needs some Kool Aid. Bears 2-0 start is a fluke and the Packers offense finally gets in sync. Cutler throws 3 picks as Packers route the Bears 38 - 14.

I need to think about it. I didn't make a prediction the 1st week because I was out of town. So I didn't make a guess last week to change my MOJO. I am not sure I can post a guess this week. (I'll PM you if you want the truth). Of course in the predict the Packers season thread I did give my game by game W/L so that should tell you how I am leaning.

My thoughts include: The Bears beat (lost) to Detroit, and beat Dallas (They have already called a players meeting). So I am not sure if I put much stock in either game. The Packers beat the Eagles on the road (good win but inconsistant) and crushed a team they were supposed to. I worry more about the Bear's D than their O at this point. But CHI hasn't had to worry about playing against a Finley like TE for a whole game.

I'm with ya channtheman, but I think you're pessimistic. You need to look at MPF's post lower down.

The Bears that show up are actually the mini-bears, and the Pack runs over them. Kreutz gets frustrated by Raji, throws a punch and gets tossed from the game. Williams (LT) pulls his hammy again trying to stay in front of Mathews. We get 4 picks and 6 sacks.

Rodgers plays pitch and catch with the boys.

Pack 77
Bears 3 - scored in garbage time after Mathews, Barnett and Woodson are resting.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Packers win in a lower scoring game than most will predict.

24-13

[CaliforniaCheez]

Packers 24, Bears 16.

At the other end of the division the Lions 24, vikings 21.

Final 24 17

Tipped pass pick 6 for Bears in first half. Our offense is horrible.
Down 14-3 at the half...domestic abuse calls way up in Green Bay.

Bears score for the last time in the 3rd quarter. Everybody wakes up. Packers score 14 points in last six minutes to win game. Yee hah! Waitress in Aaron Rodgers jersey does not press charges when excited patron honks her breasts in celebration, but does dump half pitcher of Bud Light over the offender's head.

[packerbacker1234]

It's going to be a tight game. Highly doubtful it's a blow out.

It's on national TV - everyone thought SF was going to be blown out by the saints, and instead it took a game winner at the end to take care of SF. The bears are a big rivalry team with us. Were both 2 - 0 with both offenses coming off of rather impressive outings.

The question is, who has the better pass coverage defense? They are both passing teams... and really, I can't answer that in earnest.

It's going to be close, and I will just hope for the best:

Packers 28, Bears 27

Not even if you tried?

Daniel Manning SS
Chris "Who?" Harris FS
Zackary Bowman CB
Charles Tillman CB

VS.

Charles "DPOY" Woodson CB
Tramon Williams CB
Morgan Burnett SS
Nick Collins FS

There's no question. Plus we have the #1 pass rusher in the league. Come on 1234! You're better than that. :wink:

If any of you had even one nut you would bet every bear lover you know. That is what I am doing and believe it or not there are a grip of them over here. Beating the cowgurls brought them out of hibernation.

Packers for the W but it wont come easy, 24-17.

Good to see you posting hombre. How's Norcal?
My kids are getting bigger every week - now 2 and 1 respectively.

Not feeling the mojo for this game. Road, division, nationally televised game... I'll probably bet my chitown coworkers but have a feeling the Bears will pull one out 21-17 with some fluke ST TD.

[billy_oliver880]

I just hope the packers don't take this game for granted. The bears will be ready to play. I say this one will be real close. 27-24 pack.

[hoosier]

I just hope the packers don't take this game for granted.

Not to worry, Billy Schroeder is long gone.

[Joemailman]

Packers will move the ball consistently, but struggles in the red zone will keep it close.

i'm a little nervous about the game

the bears are always tough and this year they seem to be somewhat competent

[Cheesehead Craig]

Waitress in Aaron Rodgers jersey does not press charges when excited patron honks her breasts in celebration, but does dump half pitcher of Bud Light over the offender's head.
If you do that to her after every win, she will eventually press charges... or at least start charging you.

[Pugger]

I just hope the packers don't take this game for granted.

Not to worry, Billy Schroeder is long gone.

I can't imagin the guys taking a Monday Nighter for granted. I doubt we'll be lousy like the Gmen were last Sunday night. But it will be a daunting task to put those idiots away. We cannot allow them to get big kick/punt return nor can we turn the ball over. If we do this I like our chances.

[AtlPackFan]

This is tough. Not sure what you have in the Bears. Detroit should have won the first game and the Boys are in total disarray.

We know what the Pack is capable of but, at this point, have not played to that potential except in spurts.

I don't think the Pack is looking past this game...Division rival, da Bears, MNF...but what team will show up? The team that struggled against Philly and the first half of the Bills game or the team that played as expected in the 2nd half of the Bills game. I just don't know.

Oh...what the hell. Pack 24, Bears 21.

[channtheman]

I just hope the packers don't take this game for granted. The bears will be ready to play. I say this one will be real close. 27-24 pack.

I'll be really disappointed if the Packers come out flat. This is the BEARS and there should be NO reason to ever take this game for granted. Rivalry games don't know what the other teams record is.

[cheesner]

Packers 30 bears 17. The bears have done much better than I expected. I figured the offense would be a disaster, but they are doing well. This week they are brought back to earth and get beat more easily than the score shows. Finley comes up big with 2 TDs; Brandon Jackson does a bit better with 80 yards; and CMIII has a bad day due to double/triple teams and Cutler running all plays away from him and gets a meager 2 sacks.

[mission]

I like your thinking there cheesener!

My pick: 38-24 Good Guys.

Pack comes out and rattles Cutler early.

Cutler makes pouty face on sideline.

Pack win big; sends Bares back to where they belong.

Pack win big; sends Bares back to where they belong.This is pretty much why I think it is a win. Pack D has strengths that match the bears O well.

Cutler will look like crap for the first time this season and that is why they will lose.

[jmbarnes101]

Packers are the better team but I predict a defensive battle similar to week 1 last year.

20-16 Pack

I wish we were playing the Vikings this week instead. We could finally beat #4 and end their season at the same time.

[Fritz]

Friend of mine made a good point: unlike the Minny rivalry, in which either team can win any time, despite talent differences, Withe the Packers and Bears the better team usually wins both GB/Chicago games.

And the Packers are a better team this year than the Bears.

That will be hard for some Bear fans to swallow.

That was true for most of the 80s and 90s but not sure it still holds today. In relatively recent history, the Bears dominated the Packers from 1976-88 (18-5), and the Packers absolutely dominated the Bears from 1992-2003 (20-3). Since then the Bears have won 7 and the Packers 5, and in those six seasons there have been three sweeps and three splits (2004, 06 and 08). In 04 the Bears swept the Packers despite being much worse (5-11 vs. 10-6). In 06 the Bears were the NFC champs but split with the Packers. In 07 the Bears were much worse but still swept the Packers. 2005 and 2009 are the only recent seasons where the clearly better team swept the worse team.

[MichiganPackerFan]

I hate waiting for MNF games. it sucks to have to wait nervously while every other team to play and then head to work and trudge through the day and evening and finally get to watch a game with horrible announcers that ends in the middle of the night.

THis one I am especially nervous about because my hopes are SO high for this team.

Packers should win but they need to come out with some energy. A slow start will be a killer.

I just have a long memory when it comes to Packer teams losing games they should have won. Underperforming losses to Chicago and Minnesota are especially hard to forget (2007).

[RUnuts]

Packers 150 bears 3. I just talked to my friend who owns a bar in Kenosha. His sister knows a guy that used to work for UPS and he delivers to the bar down the street from Lambeau and he heard this guy say that his aunt heard that Mike McCarthy's game plan was. Long bomb onside kick, long bomb onside kick, long bomb onside kick etc.

Take it to the bank. And yes, I did take my meds today. So there!!

All they have to do is stop Forte in the screen game and Olsen deep down the middle and it will be another rout. I don't think any team can hold GB's offense down...

It is comforting to know that in two average to shitty performances by the Packers offense (they seemed out of sync to me, Rodgers isn't quite at mid season level yet, etc.) and they still put up 27 and 34 points.

[PackerTimer]

This is tough. Not sure what you have in the Bears. Detroit should have won the first game and the Boys are in total disarray.

Oh...what the hell. Pack 24, Bears 21.

Agreed. To say they were fortunte against the Lions is an understatement. It took a lucky break against a team playing most of the game with it's backup QB. The win in Dallas looks good until you look at how much of wreck Dallas is right now.

Pack - 27
Bears - 17

[sheepshead]

If we come out and start quick especially through the air, it could be a blow out.

I say close game till late in the third quarter. Pack 34 - Marshmallows of the midway 20

[Packers4Ever]

Thread needs some Kool Aid. Bears 2-0 start is a fluke and the Packers offense finally gets in sync. Cutler throws 3 picks as Packers route the Bears 38 - 14.

That's more like it, good call, Chann !

I'll throw in a little more Kool-Aid and call it
Bears 24, Pack 35, 2 TD/ Jennings

But the gang better be ready for this one !! :)

[gex]

Packers 35
Da bears 24
Most of the Bears points come in garbage time.

[The Leaper]

Bears secondary is mediocre. If Rodgers is well protected, the Packers will score 30+. While the Bears offense will present some problems, I think our pass rush will be good enough to force Cutler into some of those miscues he's avoided to this point in 2010.

GB 33
CHI 20
