Aren't the season openers always the Super Bowl winner vs. the team they beat in the conference finals?
which means the opening game will be
Bears @ Packers and the Packers get their rings at the start.
Personally I don't like a great match-up to start the season, as it doesn't mean much... but put it mid season it could mean a ton...
Also I don't like facing the Bears... as said they're always sloppy games which the Bears are able to keep it close even when the Packers are a lot more talented team... and sometimes are able to win them if the Packers make just one too many mistakes, which they always make mistakes against the Bears for what ever reason...
