Have you heard of this? A car dealer in the greater Chicago area is going to give away free cars if the Bears hold the Packers scoreless throughout tonight’s Christmas game. Its a great publicity stunt, but anyone in there right mind knows it’s not gonna happen. Tebow can throw 1 TD on this Bears defense, Rodgers can/will throw 4! So, good for the dealer in getting his business recognized, but I dont think anyone really believes it. The better bet would have been Hester returning the opening kickoff (like Superbowl XLI). I was at a bar in San Diego during that game. The bar had a $135/person fee “all you can eat/drink during the game, but if the opening kickoff was returned for TD everyone ate/drank for free! Needless to say the bar owner nearly shit his pants when Vinatieri kicked it to Hester, only to watch him slice through IND special teams. 6 seasons later and Hester is still making people look foolish.
Tonight’s game in Green Bay should be great. The Bears can still play defense, albeit not like in year’s past. And, Romeo and he Chiefs laid out a little “blueprint” as to how to defeat the Packers. Remember Superbowl 25? Giants beat the Bills 20-19 in Tampa. The Bills were the highest-scoring offense in the league. The Giants came out, ran the ball, controlled the clock (for more than 40 minutes), kept Jim Kelly and the Bills O on the sideline. When the Bills offense was on the field, the Giants hit them harder than they’d ever been hit. I recall Andre Reed acquired himself a nice pair of alligator arms anytime the ball came his way. Unfortunately, the League doesnt allow defenders to play that way any longer. So, the Bears will need to ride Marion Barber (if he’s able) all day long. The formula to victory here is quite opposite to what Mike Martz runs as OC, so I dont see the Bears pulling out the win. Let’s just hope their prideful veteran defense can keep it close.
Green Bay -12 and the O/U is 43.
With Josh McCown under center, I dont see CHI scoring more than 17 points (and that may be too generous). GB, on the other hand, can put up 34 points, easily. So, 34-17 Final score…so GB -12 & the Over.
Have a very Merry Christmas and enjoy the game.
