This should be a good, good game tonight for NFL fans and an even better one for fantasy players. I think both offenses will excel and I could see a 27-24 or 30-24 outcome as well.
I think the Bears are going to stop the run straight-up, which will be able to give them extra defenders in the passing game. Teddy is too stubborn to address the running game, but this will be the first case of it really slowing down the offense. The Bears can flat out stop the run and the Packers have absolutely no deep threat in the backfield. This will be key.
Defensively, the key as always with Cutler is putting pressure on him and making him throw off his back foot a few times. They did it last year at home and they can do it again. But if he throws quickly their wideouts will move the chains on this secondary. Handling Matthews will be the key here.
Rodgers and Cutler could both have big games. It's hard to believe that a Packers-Bears matchup will turn into a shootout, but I expect that to happen. Both teams pass better than they throw and both defenses have holes in their secondaries. Should be fun to watch.
And Matt, that Urlacher jersey needs to be replaced soon. Time for a new one!!
Would you take the Packers +12? How about total over 36pts?That's available using the 9 pt teasers on both.
Did that 3 times yesterday and won all.
