Simply put, the Bears were lucky to get past the Saints last Thursday and the Packers have a pretty decent offense with a lot of weapons similiar to the Saints. The Bears opened that game with a kick off return for a TD...don't think that will happen tonight.
I don't believe the Bears DEF will hold the Packers to less than 24 points..so that means the Bears need to score 29 to cover. Now, I haven't looked to see how many times the Bears scored over that number...checking now....okay, 3 times all before the bi week..once in week one against a short handed Colts team in Indy, once against the Lions, and once in a shoot out with the Vikings but scored 3 times on DEF. Unlikely those things happen tonight. There will be a couple scores of turnovers. I think tonight is probably a good night to stay of the TOTAL. This game will be close to the number tonight...and if it goes over barely gets there.
Packers +4.5
Merged a couple of my posts together...leaning under if it keeps moving up.

Actually I am here making my play...and seeing that you and w8 are on the opposite side I feel good about my play. I was opposite of him last night when I had Giants and Southern Miss....but Good Luck!

I have to believe the Bears will cover because they need the game and if GB gets behind why will they even want to be out there freezing they're nuts off? I know they are bitter rivals but I just cant see the Pack overcoming adversity with nothing to play for but pride or to play spoiler.I read an earlier article where there has been alot of animosity on the Pack team in the last 2 games. Goin BEARS 1 unit.BOL to all

Peppto..its really just my opinion but the lined opened at 42-43 and quickly dropped to 40 the majority of online books. I believe the smart money came in on the UNDER early. The OVER has been a huge public play all year and I believe late line movement back up indicates joe bettor making his play on the OVER. Again, just my opinion. Good Luck!

I like the Bears tonight, and I think Neck-Beard help's them rise to the occasion. Dude's a great Bear. I think he loves this kind of game and I think he'll make a clutch throw or two that could be the difference down the stretch. Not having him right in Green Bay was a huge factor the first time around.
As far as "fate" goes, everyone wants to marinate on what happened yesterday as an excuse to stay away, but what I see is that so many things had to fall the right way for the Bears to be in this position that, despite the fact the pressure is on them, I think take advantage of the moment and they come out ready. Especially on the defensive end. And I'm not sure the motivation is there for the Packers to play as hard down the stretch.
Late game momentum, monday night in December, the playoffs in sight, it all plays into Chicago's hands at home as the game wears on.
That said, I'll probably buy 'em down to 2 and a hook, 'cause it definitely could be close.
Good luck all

Because the Bears aren't that good. Weird concept huh? The Bears are an avg team at best and got their teeth kicked in a few weeks back by this GB team. What was the score? 37-3?

hunster12 ... sorry, but the Bears don't kill ... In fact, they don't kill anyone except my Lions ... and to agent0 ... sorry Sir, but I my gut tells me you are on the wrong side of the line ... Regardless, I like how you consistently show up and make your pick ... keep it coming brother ...
Charles Woodson is back ... The Packers killed the Bears earlier in the season ... I don't like taking a team that has already won once in the season against a division foe, but tonight, I think the Bears buckle under the pressure ... Two weeks in a row on primetime football and at home - Sorry Bears fans and backers ... Packers play spoiler quite well tonight ... I just don't have the balls to take the ML ... Typical of my weak ass ...
Packers 27, Bears 24 ... Mason Crosby, the hero ...
Green Bay +4 
to all - get this

to all - get this I think you're right about Crosby being the hero tonight but more for not missing a FG tonight...I believe he is on the team with the better kicker.

You're too dumb to realize that I was making fun of you, huh?

That shit is funny. And I won't argue with a Bear fan, and this is coming from an Eagle fan.
Still, I'll stand behind my thoughts, and the Beard tonight.
