Thu. Nite Bears @ Packers

We're using the 5 and a hook spread from Wednesday because it doesn't matter. Jason and I have been leaning towards taking the Bears straight up since the season began, and that's just what we're gonna do. Green Bay didn't give either of us much of a reason to pick them, so we're not. Chicago is ready to pounce on that terrible Pack secondary, and they also should find running the ball to be easy with the holes their passing attack will open up. Sure, Aaron Rodgers and the Pack should throw and stay in the game, but it feels like they're not quite ready for a shootout, especially now that WR Greg Jennings has been ruled out tonight. The Bears have always looked at the Packer game as bigger than the other games, and they should be ready to hold off Green Bay's desperate actions to try and ward off an 0-2 start. I can hear the experts now: "What's wrong with the Green Bay Packers???" Jason calls it 31-21. I got a few more points, but the same outcome. My Pick: Chicago 37-31
