Thanks for your work.

I'm torn on who to cheer for in the Bears-Vikes game next week

I think it depends on if you think the Packers can beat the Vikings in Minnesota. I don't, so I want the Bears to win. Then the Packers can lose and be in okay shape to win the division in the last game of the season against the Bears.

Just hope they beat each other up pretty well so when we play the Vikings they won't be as fresh and healthy. Wow, fresh and healthy, who would've thought I used those two words this season for the Packers ?

Bears have a BRUTAL schedule down the stretch. I still think the Vikings are our biggest threat. Plus, I live in Minnesota. Go Bears!

Cali! Finally you bring good tidings!

Unfortunately, we fans have to root for Favre and the Vikings. It breaks my heart. But, I'm an adult and that little girl 40 years ago already broke my heart, so, I'm used to it.

We want the Bears to beat MN. That gives the Pack a shot at putting MN down for the count when we play them. 2 losses there and the Vikes start shutting it down for the season.

A nice feel-good story in St. Louis. Good to see the Rams start winning.

Kind of like what people were saying about the Packers 2nd half schedule in 2009.

Except the Bears have Cutler, not Rodgers :)

The best thing for the Packers is if the Bears and Vikings split, and the best chance of that is the Bears winning next week. I can't root for the Bears, but it's plenty easy to root against the Vikings.
