TonyTall · 12-28-13, 01:58 PM

jarvol · 12-28-13, 04:24 PM

Yes

jjgold · 12-28-13, 04:46 PM

Look out for weather reports

might be iffy..could change game

Marigold HD · 12-28-13, 04:56 PM

yes...you are the only one

Jakenv21 · 12-28-13, 04:57 PM

consider Bears +3.5 if you can get it. I can see it getting there by kickoff

Snowball · 12-28-13, 05:00 PM

I'm leaning Bears now. Think of it like this...
1) Clay Matthews out.
2) Cutler already laid his egg last week, burnt off his rust.
3) Rodgers has been out 7/8 weeks... rust factor.
4) On the road at Chicago in do-or-die game could b fierce problem for rusty qb.
5) Bears had to get their butts chewed out after last week... will be determined to win.

BigdaddyQH · 12-28-13, 05:01 PM

Green Bay has won 3 out of the past 4 games in Chicago agaist the Bears. I hope you are right, but I doubt it. Take the over in this game. Neither team has a defense.

Marigold HD · 12-28-13, 05:07 PM

this is a big revenge game for green bay....chicago put out rodgers and now the team wants to win that much more

crustyme · 12-28-13, 05:10 PM

yeah the world revolves around u.

Looks like possible flurries and 20mph winds and single digit wind chills.

Yep. Weather is supposed to turn brutal overnight heading into game day.

Shouldn't be too horrible, but certainly a wintry mix.

they put him out at GB they can put him out again tomorrow.

the wind should favor Cutler, blow his bad passes on target.

BILLY MEIER · 12-28-13, 07:27 PM

Did not touch the bears because my book did not have a line and i went crazy and bet a bunch of games, I love the bears at home, id bet them if i had money in my account

Teams that got beat by 40 the week before have a pretty good track record against the spread.

Then take +3. This game could have a shady ending or last second Rodgers 1 point win.

Definitely. It's not to common a team gets beat by 40 then is only a 3 point dog in a must win for both teams.

the line is exactly what it is supposed to be. the bears could have lost by 100 and it would still be +3-+4. books have no interest in this game in terms of paying anyone on the spread. its a ml bet type of game. as someone from the chi area the fact you are talking about blowouts and the past and forgetting that chi does not beat gb in games that matter its not good.

slacker00 · 12-28-13, 08:47 PM

One shit bag team is a 3 point home dog to another shit bag team. Factor the wind and rivalry, it'll be a brawl.

Bumdeal · 12-29-13, 01:40 AM

Lacey against this run defense with not Matt Flynn under center? Think I'm gonna go GB

Man this game is intimidating. Usually the side to take is the pack as this situation had occurred recently when the pack took out big ben in the superbowl.

Both defenses are bad, bears clearly worse than the pack. Cutler is terrible, and i mean TERRIBLE against my boys, go look up his stats against gb, make sure your near a sink or toilet because you might throw up after.

The ONLY key factor in this game will be can a semi-injured/rusty Rodgers show up and outplay cutler...whichever QB has the dominate game will be the vctor.

Both teams can dish in the weather as well, this is nfc north football right here.

hoping aaron can bring us to the playoffs like he did against the bears in previous years, good luck board. This might be the toughest game of the day with too many back and forths.

BOL

ChiLLx · 12-29-13, 11:50 AM

Winds expected to reach up to 40 mph.

drunkenbeaver · 12-29-13, 11:57 AM

Can't blame anyone for taking the Bears since it seems like the entire world is on the Pack.

Thirty degrees and low wind right now. Expected to drop into the low 20's at game time and winds picking up to 10-25 mph. Freezing rain expected too. I'm sitting on a couple of Bears season wins tickets of over 8.5. Thats my ML play on the Bears for the day.

d2bets · 12-29-13, 12:26 PM

20-25mph winds, should be dry until maybe 2nd half when light flurries could start. Single digit wind chills.

Question: if the wind is blowing straight toward the goalposts, would you rather have the wind at your back in the 1st/3rd or the 2nd/4th?

Dougie_Fre$h · 12-29-13, 12:36 PM

I took bear money line for 7u. They win by 10

3 years ago is not recent. Half those guys are long gone and half of the ones remaining aren't playing today.

Yes, and consider that in 2010 the Packers had 5 pro bowlers. This year? 0.

ChiLLx · 12-29-13, 01:30 PM

Weather made me take the under. No confidence in Bears to win this today but it should be tight.

Lift2beFit · 12-29-13, 02:07 PM

I live 20 minutes out from the field, its gloomy, rain is turning to ice, wind is pretty nasty...

There will be a combined total of 100 rushing attempts today :grrr

Thisis the type of game they play on nfl films for ages to come

ACTUAL pro bowlers... i could name a few, pro bowl potential, 50% of the starters....

Basically is the same exact setup, been a long time packer fan, only thing that changed is our line got worse but the run got better.... If rodgers can come out clean, there wont be much change to the pass game either.

One thing i will agree is clay not playing will be a huge factor...
Hoping Datone Jones can step up and have a huge game

Rodgers doesn't have the weapons in the passing game and that 2010 was a feared D. Not now.
