    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.

      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.

            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.

              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.
              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).

                    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!!

                      I can see where the 21 touchdowns are coming from, but the field goals?

                        My doctor says I can't get into specifics or else he has to increase my meds. Are you trying to kill me??

                          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.

                              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.
                              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
                              GO PACK!!!!

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