Losing Jennings is similar to the Saints losing Colston. Another guy fills in and they keep on rolling. Saints without Colston last year put up 30 on the Bears and 40 on the Texans, both great defenses.

Sigh.. this is gonna be tough pick regardless.. smh I"m leaning towards GB this game tho. FS: GB 24- BEARS 17. I see the game looking 21-10 from first half til late third.. with GB in the lead and GB only scoring an early field goal. and then Bears scoring a TD late in the 4th. but GGs everyone. ^_^

Glad you agree. I mean last season they played the Bears in Lambeau without Jennings and Jordy Nelson went off. Finley is a huge match-up problem and was big in the game in Solider Field last season. James Jones is a solid option as well.

Only fear is the defense at this point, but last year they weren't terrible against the RB coming out of the backfield which is a big part of Forte's game. I think they come out big after getting embarrassed last week.

Thanks for the insights, new to the board but love reading people's opinions. 

I'll start by saying I am a Bears fan and know the team very well.  I can tell you that I already locked it in at +6.  The Bears/Packers are always in close games no matter how crappy the Bears have been over the past few years, no matter what terrible OL and WR and play calling the Bears have done.  I saw this nugget of a stat:

"All but one of the previous eight Green Bay-Chicago battles have been decided by seven points or fewer. The lone exception was a 10-point Packer victory last year, aided by a mysterious penalty on a Devin Hester return that would have pulled the Bears within three. This is just a close, fierce rivalry. I'll be shocked if it's not close. "

Now I understand not jumping for joy because of the Bears destroying the Colts, they should have.  What I am more focused on is how SF ran the ball down GB's throats and controlled the clock.  The Bears will attempt to do this with Forte/Bush and when need be they actually have a talented WR in Marshall with Jeffrey being a great supplement.

End of the day, these games are always close so I took the 6.  Saw the line at 4.5 today so not suggesting people take that.

PACKERS VS. BEARS

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.



Packers -5.5 (-106) 1 Unit


Packers -3 1H (-115) 1 Unit
