Anyone betting on the Bears this week?

[davidx191]

No BrahmaBull but the game is at home and Bears want revenge for the NFC championship loss last season. I think Cutler goes off after all the criticism he received last year for pussying out.

[Jutzu]

The way Aaron Rodgers been playing, I wouldn't touch this game.

[JakeLc]

I'm going to guess the Bears aren't concerned about revenge they are concerned about their QB lasting the whole game.

[Red Devil]

The bears will be concerned about the Packers scoring triple digits

[loopydude11]

I'm picking the Bears to win this one. Packers D has looked like shit and the Bears D looked great at home and OK against the Saints. If Cutler gets the ball out quick it might be a long day for the Nick Collinsless Packers secondary.

[Noles19]

It feels like a good bet for the bears, but I am too scared to bet against Rogers.

[mebaran]

<-------Die hard Bears fan...but they don't win this week. Possibly a close game, but it's so easy to blitz Cutler at this juncture that I just can't see the Bears putting up more than 17 points...

no way i would ever bet on cutler getting revenge against anybody

It's Bears or no play. Getting 3 1/2 points at home in a divisional grudge match in the same spot they won last year needs a look.

Slacker. You couldn't be wronger.
Must be from Chicago or Peoria ...

The Packers will smash the bears. It won't even be close.

If the Packers play like they did last week, on either side of the ball, then the Bears (who want this a lot more) take it outright.

That being said, there's no way McCarthy will allow the lackluster offensive output from the first half against Carolina. I also expect the Packers to run, and run a lot, with success. That will open up the passing floodgate on offense. If they get early heat on Cutler, who has been under constant pressure, he will make Favrestakes.

I'm from northern Wisconsin. Look at my avatar that I've had up since February. It's the state of Wisconsin.

It won't be close? Then you post 5 scores that are within a TD? You make a good case for teasing the Bears.

Slacker, Yooper here

Teasing the Bears on paper looks really good. Heck, it probably is.

I just think the Packers are one of those few teams that can (could come out and) manhandle most any other NFL team at this point.

Look at last year:
In Minnesota, against San Francisco & against Dallas. Also, the destruction of the Giants who with a win, would have gotten the tie breaker over the Packers for the playoffs.

I guess my point is, I wouldn't tease anyone to high points against the Packers and feel any sort of good about it, unless it's the Saints, Patriots or something. Road or division game aside. odds are too high that it turns (could much more easily) into the teasing of the Steelers week one of this year.

[Ice House]

I like the Bears but I don't have enough bankroll to bet on this game.

[815Sox]

[onlooker]

Bears ML for me.

[815Sox]

I am a Bears fan and its doubtful they win. That offensive line is worse than it was last year and again Cutler has no targets.

[gimpy]

I believe that the Packer's Offensive Line is going to tremble this week. If so, Jermichael Finley is going to have a lot of dump off receptions.

The most ridiculous statement people make when capping games for football. Its a 16 game season, every game is important and each team wants to win as much as the next. Bears line is garbage and will have to put the ball in Forte's hand 30+ times to keep Cutler from getting killed. Bears don't have the weapons at WR to keep teams from blitzing.

[thericker7]

There is no way the Bears win this game. Cutler isn't having a good year and Aaron looks as good as always. He has so many offensive weapons to use and their D will step it up too. It's hard for any defense to be good when a quarterback throws the ball as much as Cam Newton last week.. But I look for the Pack to get at least 1 INT.

[JakeLc]

The Packers are going to find great matchups for their offense in the Bear secondary.

[LT Profits]

No, the Packers win going away. Their front seven will dominate the Bears' horrific offensive line.

Totally agree with this. Packers run game is much improved from last year, TJ Lang is an upgrade over College at LG, and Starks is running is ass off this year; look for him to have a big game this week. With an improved running game, look for big plays in play action passing game to Finley down the middle and Nelson and Jones on the outside.

[Stevedore]

Peppers against Clifton will be a matchup to watch, Clifton is starting to slow down a little but is still an Elite pass blocking LT. As for dump offs, not Finley, but rather Starks and he'll do some damage against the Bears on rushes and screens.

Remember that, pretty sure it was 2007 as the tape is right in front of me, I wanna say week 5 game, Sunday night @ Chicago when Jones kept fumbling and the Packers lost to go to 4-1?

The Packers saw something and ran all over the place, that's what gave me the idea and I pieced things together.

[Red Devil]

Gotta huge bet ($40) haha! down on the packers.

[Kindred]

Perfect revenge game, take da bears and da points

[I/O]

might be wet out

pay attention to the wind come Sunday am

[Red Devil]

The way Aaron Rodgers been playing, I wouldn't touch this game.

I wouldn't touch this game.

[GunShard]

All season long I have never bet on strong arm QB's with poor offensive lines. Joe Flacco and Jay Cutler.

[LT Profits]

Revenge only matters if the team seeking revenge is at least as good as the opponent. The Packers are so much better than the Bears that revenge is meaningless. Otherwise, the Panthers would never lose their rematches.

[SpreadSniper]

Bears gonna leave it all on the field this Sunday... Im not saying its a certainty, but I think CHI ml has some great value... To say this game has no revenge factor is ridiculous... division game, bears at home, playoff ousting, Superbowl champs.... I think the Bears, much like Baltimore in week 1 have had this date circled for quite some time...

[chantrain]

once again, don't listen to the retards who think the Bears are shit. Bears are one of the elite teams in the NFL and divisional games never go the way you think they would.

Bears is right play here

You are missing the point, any team WANTS revenge in the Bears' situation, but they are just not good enough to get it. This is totally different than Ravens/Steelers because those two teams are close so the revenge meant something. In this case, the Bears are the far inferior team so revenge won't help them.
