The Saints are the team I worry about most. Brees is a very good quarterback. The Saints have a lot of different offensive weapons. The Bears defense doesn't put enough pressure on the quarterback, which is going to give the Saints a lot of opportunities to put points on the board.

 

One thing that gets overlooked a bit, is the fact that the Saints are a much better team at this point in the season than they were at the beginning of the season. The Bears are not as good as they were at the beginning of the season.

 

Home field and some Bear weather is what I'll be pulling for this weekend. I think that might give us the advantage we need to pull off this game. We need to force a few turnovers at critical times. If it comes down to the kicking game, I like the Bears chances even more.

 

Last weeks game nearly gave me cardiac arrest. I'd really like a comfortable lead and pure dominance this week, but I'm not expecting it.

 

Bears 24

Saints 21

 

 

I see things differently. I see the Bears with nothing to lose playing loose while the Saints holding the hope of the world on their shoulders making mistakes and turning the ball over time and time again. The Bears will be given this game due to the Saints wilting under that pressure.

 

Defense win championships. The Bears have a better defense. Bears win in a romp. 38-10.

 

 

Need I say more?

Hahaha. Rivera stopped by the WBBM booth on their way down to the field and asked "HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT?"
