Da Bears wins are in a big hurt against our Packers and they'll be lick'n their chops come Sunday night.
We got to uphold our rivalry against "Da Bears", and hope they still suck.

Also a good thing Mack won't be game ready. Will probably play some snaps, but that's it.

This has been a good offseason overall, especially early on. But it reminded me a bit of Christmas time as a kid, and you kept hearing about this really cool gift you would be getting. I wasn't really seeking the gift, but I kept hearing about it. Then Christmas comes and it isn't under the tree, turns out the obnoxious kid down the street got it for a present instead. This seems like a good time to go punch that obnoxious kid in the mouth.

The Bears roster is much improved and it won’t matter as they have to come into Lambeau during prime to meet a ticked off Aaron Rodgers ready to go Keyser Soze on the whole league.

What in the world would Aaron Rodgers have to be ticked off about. He just signed a bazillion dollar contract.

Ticked that the Bears got Mack? That's about the only thing I can think of.

I think breaking the collar bone, then coming back and falling short of leading this team to the playoffs is more on his mind than the money he just signed for.

I dont know.... Maybe the fact that he broke his collarbone against them last year and might want to remind the rest of the league who its top dog is?

Look, I know you get a little testy if people talk down about the Bears, but you do remember how last season went, yes?

Primetime Sunday night, 1st game of the season against the Bears, with Aaron Rodgers at Lambeau.

Pack win based on that alone. 1-0 to be!

Another Week 1 NFL pick we'll give away: The Green Bay Packers (-7.5) will get a big victory in Aaron Rodgers' return against the NFC North rival Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football.

The Bears are hoping offseason acquisitions like receiver Allen Robinson and tight end Trey Burton help revitalize their offense. And over the weekend, they traded for 2016 NFL Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack. However, the model is calling for only 18 points for Chicago and for Green Bay to cover the 7.5-point spread at Lambeau Field. You can also confidently back the Under (47.5) because that hits in 61 percent of simulations.

Packers 27 bears 17 - no sack for the mack. Rodgers 3 TDs. Adams, Graham, and MVS (Long bomb). Williams rushes for 95 and looks good. Trubisky gets picked 3 times. Jaire, Williams, and Haha.
Sacks by Clay, Daniels and jaire!

i'd go with 3 sacks by Clay, Clark, and Williams. Pettine wants his vet to show these kids how you do a corner blitz, and put on tape to show them over and over again :)

Bears getting Mack is big for them, but I have faith we can get past it. Primetime, Week 1, the return of Rodgers at Lambeau.... let's do this.
Bears: 17
Packers: 28

Been looking forward to this one for a while.

I have some concerns about Mack, but like others have said, he won't have the playbook down yet, so I think the OL can handle him.

Really hoping to see some sacks and at least 2 interceptions.

Would love to see a long bomb go for a TD.

No wild hair predictions from me. They're playing the Bears and I don't know if anyone knows how MUCH I dislike the Bears...mostly their fans...but they've come into Lambeau and crapped in my corn flakes too many times on "special" games... I'm just gonna seethe until Sunday night. I've got my game face on and it's only Tuesday.

If this was a road game I might be concerned, but since it's at home I'm not. I think the Packers will be looking to make a statement.

Remember want they say when confronted by a Bear.
Make lots of noise, and play died.
That is.... until Rodgers sees a receiver open with 17 seconds left on the clock and completes a pass and we win 38 t0 31
