Packers v Bears: Stats, Weather and Common Sense

[mmmdk]

How are the Packers favored over the Bears at Chicago? Horrid field and potentially brutal weather considering the time of year surely pushes the line to Chicago's side even if it's just a hair.

Lovie's gonna use this as extra motivation for his players - all week long! Hate that fact!

Yeah, I was thinking that also, but gollyfrickingdammit--how much more motivation can two teams have?

Disrespecting the Bears by making them underdogs might be additional motivation, but that volume is already cranked up to 11. At this point maybe it will just blow out their system and the entire defense will be ejected for tearing out James Jones spleen and eating it with their helmets off.

....I've had such tasty feelings for bad James Jones at times. Yet in sheer joy, last saturday, I wanted to donate my other spleen to good James Jones...we've got two spleens right!? I kid[ney] you not!

I'm pretty sure that the usual allotment is one spleen per person, but I have three kidneys (really I do) so nature plays the occasional trick.

One spleen per persona...what made you think I thought we had more?

Looking good for Sunday. Dems good passing conditions. 24 is a little cold, but with no wind, they should be able to toss it around. I would think the cruddy field hurts pass rush and defensive footing as much or more than it does WR footing. WR's know where they're going.

Terry McAulay, he of the 18 penalty game, is the referee for Sunday. Let's hope we get more of a fair shake this time.

The only thing that matters is rattle cutler once and he's done for the day. We should have no problem getting 2-3 interceptions, most which will come in the 2nd half

Two great defenses. Points are going to be hard to come by. Every turn over, kick return and punt return is going to be amplified. Hopefully the Packers can play a pretty clean game in those areas. If they do, our offense should be able to get more going than theirs does. 17-13 Packers.
