I know conventional wisdom says the Packers are a better team and should beat the Bears at home. The fact that they are also 0-1 at home means there is no way in hell they will go 0-2. Throw conventional wisdom out the window. While the Bears defense is old and not so good anymore they know the Packers and their offense better than the Bears players know their current offense. There will be very few surprises for the Bears defense. The Packers defense is equally bad if not worse. The biggest problem for them is they're clueless about the Bears offense. There is very little on tape that will prepare them. They've also never had to play a Bears team this skilled on offense. Take the Bears and the points and take the over too.

I definitely like the Bears and the points, but the over scares me. It has the looks of one of those high scoring games on paper that ends up 14-13.

It will be over and over in a big way. 70 points. Book it.

weather is going to be a factor so be wary of any O/U play

I like Bears and the points. I wish Nas sacked up and said take the money line.

The only type of weather that really affects a game is wind. The wind should be light tonight. Fire away at the over.

I picked the Bears to win so I thought that was a given. I saw it at +230. With Jenning likely out that looks pretty good. It offsets the likely absence of Tillman.

The money line is probably the best bet of the night. This should be a pick em game.

I hereby declare that the Bears team total of over 22.5 is the bet to make for this game

Rodgers is the best QB in the game but without a running game and his best receiver I don't see him matching the Bears offense. That 22.5 looks like a steal.

34-24 Bears

Luol Deng will lead the Bulls to the championship.
