#3 Posted: 12/11/2012 1:17:43 AM Greenbay has their running game going which will open up other possibilities. Greenbay already trashed Chicago earlier in the year. This is a gift at anything under 6.
Greenbay always always wins chicago, I think Mccarthy has luvies number.
So, I love this game as Greenbay is still fighting for playoff positioning.

I like the UNDER for this game like I do KC.
If the weather is good, then defense can step up. If ugly is bad, that's good because it'll help keep scoring down too. Either way it's a win-win.

Since Cutler is banged up, Forte will also get more work too in order to alleviate pressure off Cutler. Run games normally like to stay under rather than go over. |

#11 Posted: 12/12/2012 9:25:13 PM This is a game that will go a long way in determining who wins the NFC North. While Chicago has lost 4 of their last 5 , they stand only one game behind GB. It is a matchup between the superior GB offense & the superior Bear defense. The Chicago defense was shown vulnerable to the run last week, but GB has nothing close to A.P. I see a very closely fought contest. See da Bears gutting out a tight win, in this spot.
CHICAGO + 3 |

I agree Green Bay will win but Woodson has been ruled out for the game |

#15 Posted: 12/13/2012 12:20:06 PM Strangely enough, this line reminds me of the Bears game from last week. The Bears were -3 on the road and ended up losing to their division rival Vikings. Will the Packers suffer the same fate this week?
The last time these teams squared off, Cutler had a game he would like to forget, throwing 4 interceptions and getting sacked 7 times. Clay Matthews proved himself to be virtually unblockable by the Bears struggling offensive line, and as a result, Cutler had an awful game too. I think this matchup will be key to determing the result of this game. Will Clay Mattews be a 100% this week after missing a month of football? Will the Bears learn from their mistakes and use more 3 step drops and max protection looks for Cutler? Will the Bears attack the Packers achilles heal and RUN THE BALL down their throats? I am just not sure how will this will play out.
I don't trust Cutler enough to carry this team. If theres one thing I'm certain of, its that Jay Cutler is going to target Brandon Marshall, and he is going to do it a lot. The Bears offense is not quite rocket science, and thats why I could see Cutler getting picked off atleast once this Sunday. The Packers on the other end have the well-oiled machine known as Aaron Rodgers, who I know will spread the ball around. While their running game leaves a lot to be desired, they did run the ball more effectively against Detroit last week (racking up over a 100 yards on the ground).
While the Packers don't need to run the ball to put up points, they do need to run it better protect Aaron Rodgers who has also taken a beaten this season.
Either way, I think the Bears defense isn't really that much more complex than their offense.They primarily play the cover 2, and will probably have nothing new to show Aaron Rodgers who has dominated this matchup. The Pack have won the last 5 of this matchup and they have won convincingly...the last 5 have been won by an average of 10.2 points a game. Also, this may not sound like a big deal, but keep in mind the injuries suffered by the Bears special teams. Robbie Gould is out, and in a divisional rivalry game like this, those field goals can often be the diffenence between winning and losing (covering or pushing). Missed field goals are also great momentum builders for opposing team's offenses. The Bears will have to rely on veteran kicker Olindo Mare who won a try-out this week. The Bears also lost two special teams coverage players in Steltz and McManis. I wouldn't be surprised if Randall Cobb showed us his own Devin Hester impersonation this week, and takes one to the house.
Good Luck Fellas. Going Joe Public here and taking the CHEESEHEADS!!! |

They beat up on the bottom feeders, but can't beat a team that's playoff bound. If they can step up and get themselves a statement win I might change my viewpoint on them, but right now they are nothing but a fraudulent team in my eyes.
Their wins = colts (week 1), rams, cowboys, jaguars, lions, panthers, titans, Vikings (home)
Their loses = packers, texans, 49ers, Seahawks, Vikings (away)
I don't see a good win anywhere.
The bears come in to this one losing 4 of their last 5. Green Bay has owned this series in recent years winning the last 5 and 7 of the last 8 dating back to 2009 (covering 6 of those 8). I don't see any reason why things would change now.
Backing the packers (LARGE) and will continue to fade the fraudulent bears against quality opponents until they prove otherwise. GL |

#20 Posted: 12/14/2012 12:14:54 AM One angle on this game I would be cautious of is GB can split their series with the Bears and move them up in the division without fear of being beaten because the pack are 4-0 in the division tiebreaker. In other words the Pack are free to lose which would explain why they're only favored by 3 and no movement on the line. At the least they've already got a wild card with Tennesse next week. |
