September 26, 2014: Bears Packers I Preview

Bears Packers is here… well, almost.  As we get ready for the renewal of the oldest NFL rivalry, we look at how this game is going to break down.

I always like looking at the Vegas angle… in each game.  This game is no different.  Green Bay being favored by 1.5 points in this one is not positive for us Bears fans.  Why after Green Bay has looked so horrible, and the Bears have won 2 PRIMETIME/National Audience games, are the Packers favored IN SOLDIER FIELD?  This sets off all kinds of red flags to me.  Do they think the injuries are too much for the Bears to overcome?  Are they not drinking the Bears kool aid?  Are they taking Rodgers advice and relaxing about the Packers early season struggles?  Either way, if I’m a gambling man, the smart money is on the Pack.  I AM a gambling man, but I bet with my heart… and we know where that lies.  That’s also why I don’t gamble anymore…

Cutler has played well the past 2 games… surprisingly well in my opinion.  With no picks after 2 road games, I’m mildly impressed.  How’s Cutler done against the Packers?  Well, let’s see… out of the last 11 games vs the Packers since Cutler has arrived, we’re 2-9, and McCown won one of those last year.  First off, it’s flat out embarassing to get dominated by your hated rival, but that’s what’s been going on.  Secondly, why can’t Cutler beat Green Bay?  Yeah, I know it’s not Cutler against the Packers, but he is our QB… our $ man… our leader (?).  And if the Bears lose this weekend, all we’ll hear is we lost because of the injuries, and although we are beat up, I’m sick of the excuses.  It’s time for Cutler to beat the Packers.

We have the weapons to score, and Green Bay has the defense to score on.  So, regardless of all the injuries on defense, we should be able to put up points.  Green Bay should be able to put up points too…but, I’m looking for some NEW Bears to put their initial stamp on this rivalry.  Kyle Fuller meet Aaron Rodgers.  Jonathan Bostic meet Eddie Lacy.  Fuller has the look of a future star through a few weeks, which we all know does not make a star.  But I’m excited to see him defend against this Rodgers’ led offense.  Since Shea is out again, Bostic gets another start.  We all know Bostic is better than Shea, so this is a good thing.  Besides him dropping an easy pick last week, he played rather well.  He’ll be tested again this week, as he’ll be a big part in stopping the run.  Just because we slowed down the Jets running game, doesn’t mean we’re past the hump against the run.  We need to be just as tough against the run this week.

The assignment for special teams:  just don’t screw up.  Let’s block on punts, let’s cover kicks, let’s NOT fumble on returns.  If we can achieve that every week, I’m OK.  I’m not expecting anything more than that.  I have no idea about the special teams of Green Bay, and hope they’re a non-factor this week.  Although I really don’t like Mason Crosby for some reason…

Let’s get into the prediction part of this week’s preview.  First, nice call last week on the final score Bullwinkle; you were the closest!  Lockdown Corner really nailed the Ace in the Hole pick with Fuller, who had a pick and a forced fumble.  Great call!  We doubling up this week?

I picked the Bears to beat Green Bay this week.  I picked them to beat them in Lambeau later this year.  I have picked and will pick the Bears over the Packers no matter what the situation is.  I would always put 1 on the Bears in my confidence pool because I just can’t pick the Packers over the Bears.  I told you about my heart.  I told you about my hate for the Pack.  I just… can’t…. do it.

Final Score Prediction:  Bears 34 Packers 31

As far as the Ace in the Hole, I’m going back and forth between a lot of players, but…

Ace in the Hole:  Jay Cutler–>  300+ yards passing, 3 TD’s, 0 INTs

Yeah, I’m going with the guy I talk the most crap about.  He’s played well the past 2 weeks.  He’s temporarily eliminated the picks.  I think he’s finally ready to beat the Pack.  He better be, or I’ll be roasting him come Monday.

Finally, before we leave, and as you give your final score & ace in the hole predictions, feel free to give your best Green Bay joke.  I heard one that I thought was pretty good:

What does a tornado and a divorce have in common in Green Bay?

In either case, somebody is losing a trailer.

Go Bears.  Beat the Pack.  Bear Down!!!!
