Not much else needs to be said about this rivalry other than the following words:

Bears still suck.

Spoiler

This never gets old

Packers by about 4 TDs.

Hope their season ends in similar fashion to last year.

Go Pack Go.

Man, this thread was thriving in the past by now.

Jay Cutler will be our MVP once again. He will find Haha Clintin-Dix wide open and for at least 1 TD, Jay will throw 3 TDs, never mind what team catches them. Packers win 38-10. That's my prediction anyway.

Watch out, Bears defense much improved. John Fox and Vic Fangio are great defensive minds.
Not saying Chicago's gonna win but the Packers shouldn't take them too lightly.

I also think John Fox's offensive system might actually help Cutler minimize mistakes (Fox is most conservative coach Cutler has had). When Cutler doesn't turn the ball over, Bears actually have a chance of winning.

It should be closer than people expect, I wouldn't be surprised if Chicago at least covered the spread. Either that, or my hopes for the Bears are way too high for this season.

Joe Buck's head gets a little more square every year.

I agree. I think Jay Cutler and Adam Gase are a really good combination and expect him to be better.

Haven't followed enough to know much about the defense but I wouldn't really hang my hat too much on the "John Fox is a defensive genius" bit. He's not anything spectacular there. Is defensive success was about personnel, not so much scheme.

I do expect this to be closer than some anticipate but I did go with the Packers.

Wow. 3 & out after that horrible kick coverage.
