Everyone wants to think we will win in a route and I am willing to admit, dare I say hope, that is the case but in reality that has not really been the case. Yes we beat them by 21 in September but prior to that since 2010 all the games have been within 2 scores. OK, people are going to come up with every reason in the books just so they don't have to give the Bears a chance (Aaron was hurt in the first game last year. Aaron was still feeling the effects of his injury in the last game last year etc. etc.) The fact is the Bears have a very talented offensive team and our defense is suspect.
Obviously the score does not always tell the whole story. It doesn't always tell which team played better but it does determine who will win the game. The Bears will be up for this game no matter if it is a must win or not. Even though most of today's players may not have the same sense of the historic rivalry that some of the older players and fans have it's still a divisional game and, for the Bears at least, it seems the Packers have been the team to beat.
I am certainly hoping for a blowout but I am predicting 27-21 Packers
