Monday Night Football

So after a weekend where Shawn Hill, Pats Defense and the 49ers in general screwed me, its time to get back on the winning side of things. Seattle was nice and the Yankees pulled out a tight one for a little momentum going into Monday night so here we go...

Monday night will not even be close. I am predicting a big win by Green Bay and here is why:
Green Bay has too many weapons. The Bears defense cannot stop the Packers WR's. You can't look to the Dallas game because Rodgers will not throw 3 picks, that is for sure. What you can expect is the Packers to have an even attack and exploit the Bears secondary. 

For the Bears, linebacker Lance Briggs (ankle), tackle Chris Williams (hamstring) and safety Major Wright (hamstring) missed practice. Williams and Wright are not expected to play, but Lance Briggs is listed as probable tonight. Briggs led the Bears with 118 tackles last season.

Green Bay has one of the best passing attacks in the NFL behind the right arm of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who’s already thrown for 442 yards and four touchdowns this season.

Rodgers has plenty weapons at his disposal with three solid receivers options in Donald Driver, Greg Jennings and Jermichael Finley. Rodgers does a great job of spreading the ball around and he is aware he has to keep his playmakers happy by finding them when they get open.

“The biggest challenge is if there starts to be some dissension with those guys,” Rodgers said. “I just hope they would come to me first. We’ll meet that when we come to it, but I hope we don’t have to go through that.

“Obviously, they all want to make plays. I’m not going to change the way I play. I’m going to throw it to the guys who are open, and I’m going to go through my progressions. I hope they understand that.”

The Packers are 4-0 ATS in their last four games against the Bears and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games at Soldier Field.

The under is 8-2 in the Bears last 10 games as underdogs.

Chicago is just 7-18-2 ATS vs. teams with winning records.

The Packers are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games against NFC North opponents.
