As I said in another thread, I am not crazy about the Bears. I think Chicago will fall back real soon. Wouldn't be shocked to see them drop three more games before the season is done.

I've been hearing and reading that for over a month now. Bears are not for real, they'll fall down. Bastards keep winning.
I think New England will be the toughest challenge.
Next most difficult game, Bears. I think the Bears play us hard at home each year.
I think we'll dominate the Giants, and 49ers.
Lions, I don't know what to expect. I do think we will win that one.

We should be able to beat the 49ers and Lions unless we play the worst game of our season (which we already did agst Chicago earlier).
Giants will be tough. They got a great pass rush, and I fully expect Bulaga to struggle against their DEs (not a knock on Bryan, but a credit to Tuck, Umenyora, etc). Both the Pats and the Giants have suspect secondaries, that A-rod will have to exploit for us to win. The Bears have a solid defense, but I'm not really worried at all about that game. We dominated them last game and barring any penalty or special teams meltdowns, I just don't think their secondary can stop Rodgers. Whether that game will determine the NFC North title, is still to be determined.
The most important game we will play will be the one against the Giants. We are directly competing against them for a wildcard spot, so head to head, and record vs. the NFC will be crucial. We can probably lose the Pats game and sneak in, b/c games vs. the AFC don't matter as much for tie breaker, if I recall correctly.
I'm not sure if I'm alone with this thought, but I think I would almost prefer if we do not have homefield advantage for the playoffs. We are a passing team, first. If we can't count on the running game in a dome, I highly doubt we can count on it in snow covered Lambeau in January. We also play exceptionally well on the road, maybe because of lower expectations, less pressure.
Anyway you look at it, this is shaping up to be one of the most exciting regular seasons in recent memory. GO PACK!
