Bears (+8.5) @ Green Bay (11-26-15)

[oldunclemark]

8:30 p.m. EST....Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth on NBC

upper 30s and rain (a 100% chance of rain) most of the game/ over-under 45

Bears QB Jay Cutler (192 of 303, 2,310 yards) has 13 TDs passes and fewer(6 interceptions. 3 fumbles) turnovers than in past years.

TE Martellus Bennett had 50 catches fro 425 yards...Alshon Jeffrey (36 catches, 515 yards) is expected to play but he's always hurt... he's questionable

RB Matt Forte (136 carries, 548 yards, 25 catches, 219 yards) should be back.

Bears gave up 180 rush yards last week and they have just 19 sacks all year

MVP Aaron Rodgers (214 of 347, 2,482 yards) is said to be having a down year but he has 23 touchdowns and an NFL-low 3 (Alex Smith also has just 3) interceptions

WR Randall Cobb has 467 catches for 553 yards. Dinosaur WR James Jones has 30 catches but 7 TDs

RB Eddie Lacy (105 catches, 408 yards) had his first 1-yardc game of the year last week

96 year old Julius Peppers has 6.5 of Green Bays' 29 QB sacks.

NBC loves Chicago. There's 'Chicago Fire'. 'Chicago PD' and 'Chicago Med' .

But 'Chicago (4-6)' is not a show that you will sprint home to watch...

Lets review: The Bears, at home, couldnt beat Denver without Peyton Manning, Demarcus Ware and Emmanuel Sanders and if Jeffery doesn't play they don't have any wide receivers.

8 1/2 is a lot of points in bad weather but the 'under' looks really good here

[BloodyChamp]

Be real Unc, if they play 1 gram better than the Vikings did, they can beat Green Bay who looked as bad as they did against Detroit. With that said, I think Green Bay's got this. I just want to see the halftime show myself

in the bolded, was that a typo?  467 catches already in less than a season? and first 1 yard game of the season?

[2006Coltsbestever]

Packers will win but not sure they cover the 8.5? That game has something like 27-17 written all over it Packers but if it's 27-20 and you have the Bears and the points you would obviously win.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Yeah it's 47 Catches.

[RockThatBlue]

467 catches and only one 1 yard game in a season would be impressive. I think.

1st 100-yard game 47 catches...hey its a holiday week.

[oldunclemark]

Martellus Bennett said to be doubtful..

Didn't see him get hurt last week

[oldunclemark]

Lots of rain in GB

[BloodyChamp]

On another note, Cris Collinsworth will be more unbearable than ever. He hates Favre. Meanwhile I could see the rest of the panel try to steer this towards a Peyton Manning/Tom Brady retrospective. I can hear Bob Costas now..."On this day of thanks, we remember the great Brett Favre but what of our other fallen legend? He was to the town of Indianappolis what Brett was to Green Bay. And now we don't get Manning/Brady next week boo hoo." Ok the last sentence isn't what he'll say but it's what he'll mean.

[BleedBlu8792]

I got +9.. I think the Bears keep it close.

[oldunclemark]

Jay Cutler and Aaron Rodgers actually resemble each other,,

..maybe until the game starts

[oldunclemark]

I got +9.. I think the Bears keep it close.

I'd jump all over that!

[RockThatBlue]

Terrible decision to go for that.

[BleedBlu8792]

I'd jump all over that!

Trust me I did

[BloodyChamp]

I said in the other thread that Favre would have audibled to a bomb on 4th down, but I was wrong. He would have did the subtle nod to the WR for a bomb trick.

[ColtsBlueFL]

Horrible Illegal Contact call on Tracy Porter!  Led to a TD to Lacey.

 

And Lacey might have released it early?  Wow.

[jvan1973]

Horrible Illegal Contact call on Tracy Porter! Led to a TD to Lacey.

Yeah, that was a terrible call

[BloodyChamp]

If that was illegal contact, what was that mauling that the Bear's defensivel lineman just took on the screen?

[RockThatBlue]

Lacy looks healthy now.

[oldunclemark]

That screen shouldnt have scored...nobody was to eager to get in front of Eddie Lacy

[RockThatBlue]

Boy I'm not so sure the ball crossed the goal line. Packers might have had a few gifted calls on that series.

[oldunclemark]

Bears look so clumsy on offense

[BleedBlu8792]

Green Bay got bailed out twice on that drive and I don't believe Lacy broke the plane with the ball either.

[oldunclemark]

Jay did a nice job twice to escape the rush ..7-7 now

[BloodyChamp]

The real reason they scored was because they didn't abandon the run on 2nd down. It wasn't pretty, but it got them a TD because 3rd and a few was easier than 3rd and 6+.

[RockThatBlue]

The officiating this year has been a joke. How in the world was that PI?

[BleedBlu8792]

The officiating this year has been a joke. How in the world was that PI?

Only thing I can think of was Jones stiff-arming his guy into the other DB coming across before the ball was thrown. What was bad was how late the flag was.

[oldunclemark]

DeVonte Adams is having a horrible night,..dropping everything

[oldunclemark]

Manning, Romo, Rodgers..who's next?

[BleedBlu8792]

DeVonte Adams is having a horrible night,..dropping everything

Him and Cobb have been bad about that the past couple of weeks

[oldunclemark]

Jay is making those plays..on 3rd down..even I have to give him credit

[RockThatBlue]

Him and Cobb have been bad about that the past couple of weeks

Tell me about it. Cobb has been killing me in fantasy these last few weeks

[RockThatBlue]

Rodgers hurt?

[oldunclemark]

Him and Cobb have been bad about that the past couple of weeks

They've dropped more big hits that Arista Records (a little musio humor)

[oldunclemark]

Rodgers hurt?

not good...

[oldunclemark]

Bears won here 2 years ago when Rodgers got knocked out

[snkdy]

The # of QB injuries this season...

[oldunclemark]

maybe that's 'music' humor

[RockThatBlue]

The # of QB injuries this season...

Its ridiculous. Every week some QB is injured.
