I am not gonna be fooled by anything that happened in Week 1. The Chicago Bears took advantage of a scheduling gift. The Bears got to host an awful Colts team who with rookie Andrew Luck making his debut. I firmly believe Luck will have a great career but starting it off on the road against a good Bears defense (despite age) is a tough opening assignment for anybody, let alone a rookie.
Meanwhile in Lambeau, the Packers had themselves a very tough draw in hosting the 49ers. Let's all agree on 1 thing, the 49ers are VERY good football and could have the been NFC reps last season (we all know what happened, twice). But now that my fan rant is over, the 49ers only got better this season with there entire defense returning and adding additional weapons on offense. The Packers losing against the 49ers isn't some head shaking, panic button pushing thing.
Bottom line, I am not gonna over react to either teams week 1 performance as both seemed pretty accurate imo. Both teams will wanna shore things up, absolutely. It's all about making adjustments week by week.
I expect the Packers to come out flying in this one and wouldn't be surprised too see the Packers have a 10-14 pt lead by halftime. I am somewhat thankful for week 1 because I think it played a major contributor in the 5.5 point spread. If Week 1 had played out a little differently we would probably be looking more like 8-9 point spread.
