DIV. GAME OF THE YEAR *41-11 RECORD!* (EARLY)
(NFL) Packers (GB) vs. Bears (CHI),
Point Spread: 5.50 | -110.00 Bears (CHI) (Home)
Result: Win
At 1:00pm ET, my NFC North Game Of The Year is on Chicago. Some might think that I need to have my head checked to back the Bears in a game against the Packers. The Bears have dropped 3 in a row. They looked bad against the Patriots. They just fired their offensive coordinator. The Packers are off a bye. Green Bay has beaten the Bears 10 straight times. We need to understand that all those things are factored into the line. We're getting a lot more points than we would have been a month ago. Things change fast in the NFL. It wasn't long ago that the Bears were 4-2 and looking like a good team. They can get back there! Firing Shane Waldron was a good start. He wasn't working out. This move will help Caleb Williams. Thomas Brown has been here before and will be an upgrade. Brown was Carolina's offensive coordinator last year. With the Panthers, he took over play-calling duties for a three-week stretch in the middle of the season, when coach Frank Reich got fired. The Panthers covered the spread in 2 those 3 games with Brown calling plays, including the first, a 20-17 game at Tampa. The Packers are off a 10-point loss and before that, 7 of their previous 9 games were decided by 6 points or less. There will be no better way to quiet the voices than for the Bears to finally beat the Packers. It's going to be close and I believe they'll do it. Take the points.
