This is a 10* SUNDAY NIGHT SPECIAL on the Bears.

The Bears are terrible, and the Packers are great.

Chicago is struggling on both sides of the ball, among the worst in each category this season.

Green Bay is the polar opposite, as it's among the best on both the offensive and defensive side of the field.

So why will Aaron Rogers and the Pack take the foot off the gas in the second half? Because they have a tough game at Baltimore next week, followed by Cleveland and Minnesota.

And for the Bears and Justin Fields, this is a huge learning experience and measuring stick for next season. The Bears aren't going to simply roll over today.

The Packers are also coming out of their bye week, so chemistry in the early going could be an issue as well.

I think Green Bay wins today, but I expect a hungry Chicago side to keep it a lot closer than what this big spread is suggesting.

The play is the BEARS.

Good luck, NP
