I don't think the game will be that close. There are all sorts of what ifs that could change that, but if both teams line up and play a good game, I think GB wins by 2 scores.
But of course just when you think a game is going to be an offensive free for all, it's a 6-3 game, or two defensive powerhouses battle to a 47-45 score fest. Weird stuff happens. I think the Bears are struggling, that is no secret. I think they have enough pride to pull out some big plays against GB, but I think GB will withstand those punches and pull away. and much like the MN game, GB's D won't close it and the bears will have enough fight to make it closer in the score at the end than the game was.
Bears/Packers games rarely seem to end in blowouts these days. Seems everytime GB tries to pull away, something dumb happens. For instance that special teams play a couple years back, where they tried a lateral "Hey we're up 3 scores, lets try a high risk play deep in our own zone for grins, doh, turned the ball over".. Seems to be some bs turnover, or like in the NFC championship game where the bears were unable to drive the ball the entire game, till GB has the game well in hand, then they score TDs in a matter of minutes because of the D mindset..
Oh well, an interesting stat on this game, its the first time since 1997 that GB has hosted a MNF game vs the bears.... Bout damn time I say,
