Have to look at chicagos resume, loaded with close fluke luck wins against shitty teams and a playoff win against a team with a losing record. Pack and Rodgers in the zone right now and playing with a ton of confidence.

stakes are raised even more...cutler is the qb of the bears. the pack had like 20 penalties and a fumble at the end to let bears win that one. point differential of the two teams is so ridiculously mismatched as well

The loss was more impressive than the win v CHI imo. The refs handed them the game. They had 18 penaltys for 160 yds, it was no where near that lopsided and was not called both ways. They gave up another 140 in return yds including a huge TD (don't get me wrong, that part could happen again, but unlikely with this weather and seeing them for the 3rd time)

I guess I just don't get why people think the bears are so great and GB has little chance after the just beat the 2 best teams in the NFC in the playoffs. I think the Bears could pull it off just because its been that kind of year for them and GB has not played a clean game all year, but certainly not because they are better.
