Expert Picks: Bears Have A Chance To Upset Packers
(CBS) Can the Bears end their slide? Some of our experts from 670 The Score, CBS2 and WBBM Newsradio 780 & 105.9 FM think they can:
 |
 |
 |
| Brian Hanley | Dan McNeil | Terry Boers |
| Bears 20, Packers 17 | Packers 27, Bears 19 | Bears 23, Packers 22 |
| Look for Matt Forte to actually break the century mark in rushing this week as the Bears begin their stretch RUN. Time for Forte on offense and Julius Peppers on defense to show why they are paid the big bucks. | In big games, I lean toward teams which have an edge in coaches and quarterbacks. Advantage Green Bay. With both. | Desperation has set in. I'm in a cold sweat. My heart is ticking so loudly I can hear it. So yes, it's time to give former VP Dick Cheney a shot at some face time. Bears 23, Packers 22. |
| Record: 8-5 | Record: 10-3 | Record: 10-3 |

 |
| Hub Arkush | Dan Hampton | Matt Spiegel |
| Packers 30, Bears 23 | Bears 28, Packers 25 | Packers 31, Bears 20 |
| Too much character on the Bears not to show up, but not enough talent to win. Bears lead early, fade late, lose 30-23. | Call me crazy, but the Packers aren't protecting Rodgers or playing defense the way we saw years ago. This is exactly why we added Marshall, Cutler and Peppers -- to make plays in a must-win situation. And Lovie knows it's a must-win. | Rodgers gets hit and sacked a couple times, but does not get picked. Not enough impact turnovers for the defense, and no offensive target other than Marshall has a big day. |
| Record: 9-4 | Record: 10-3 | Record: 11-2 |

| Ben Finfer | Matt Abbatacola | Adam Hoge |
| Packers 27, Bears 13 | Bears 21, Packers 17 | Packers 20, Bears 17 |
| The last team the Bears need to be seeing during this slide is the Packers. They're not as good as years past, but they know how to win this matchup. It's going to be another ugly one. | I have no idea why. Sorry, Spiegel. | Olindo Mare misses a field goal at the end of regulation to prolong the pain for Bears fans. The good news? I've been wrong the last four weeks. |
| Record: 10-3 | Record: 9-4 | Record: 9-4 |

| Ryan Baker | Megan Mawicke | Josh Liss |
| Bears 21, Packers 17 | Packers 27, Bears 14 | Packers 33, Bears 21 |
| After a collection of clunkers vs. the Packers, Jay Cutler finally has a breakout game against Green Bay. Bears win 21-17. | In the biggest game of the season, the Bears can't contain Aaron Rodgers. They are too beat up physically and mentally. Packers win. | It's just not happening for the home team. |
| Record: 9-4 | Record: 11-2 | Record: 10-3 |
