![]() Speaking of the Bears, they’re proving their preseason discipline wasn’t a fluke. If the Bears can neutralize the backfield duo of AJ Dillon and Aaron Jones, that should be the difference maker. Things will get better for them, but will they turn around just one week later? I have my doubts. ![]() Rodgers looks lost without Davante Adams and their woes on the offensive line aren’t going away. Green Bay failed to score double-digit points for just the third time since the beginning of the 2021 season. It’s a new era of Bears football and they’re entering Green Bay with the best chance for an upset in years.įor starters, this Packers team doesn’t have the fire power they’re accustomed to seeing. Spare me all of the numbers that say Aaron Rodgers is unbeatable against the Bears on Sunday Night Football, or the fact the Packers never lose when favored by more than 10 against them. While I’m not picking the Bears to win, this is the most confident I’ve felt about them pulling off the upset. With that said, I promised myself I wouldn’t pick Chicago to beat Green Bay until they actually prove they can. But it certainly looks like the Bears might’ve found their franchise quarterback in Justin Fields, who showed he’s capable of making the kind of plays that lead to wins. While Chicago’s offense looked overall unimpressive last week, it’s hard to know exactly what this unit is given the weather conditions in the season opener. The defense is the strength for both teams, and it’s going to come down to which offense is able to capitalize on their opportunities and score more points. This game is going to come down the battle at the line of scrimmage, and there’s a good chance we’re in for a low-scoring, hard-fought defensive battle. It’s not always going to translate into wins, but they’re going to be in games, including this contest against the Packers. They played the kind of smart, disciplined football that we expect to define the Matt Eberflus era. This is a team that’s going to be competitive and keep things close, even against better competition. In last week’s win against the 49ers, we caught a glimpse of exactly why they can pull it off. Make no mistake, the Bears have a good chance to go into Lambeau Field and pull off the upset against the Packers.
