Game Preview
Mike Krueger

Predicted Score: Packers 24, Bears 13

Green Bay: Is there any room left on the Packers bandwagon? Hell, I've even jumped on board despite insisting their lack of running game would come back to haunt them. And while I still think at some point the Packers will have to run the ball, damnit it just doesn't matter right now especially against a Bears team that's close to hitting the self-destruct button on the 2007 season. Check out these numbers… Favre is rocking back 68 percent of the time while the running game ranks last in the league with 54 rushing yards per game. Four games into the season and none of the Packers' running backs have 100 yds rushing… total. James Jones leads NFC rookies with 18 catches & 232 yards. God bless yeah Favre… keep it going, man!

  • Start: QB Brett Favre, WR Donald Driver, K Mason Crosby, Packers D/ST
  • Consider: WR Greg Jennings, WR James Jones, TE Donald Lee
  • Sit: RB DeShawn Wynn, RB Brandon Jackson, RB Vernand Morency (inj)

Chicago: The Bears benched Rex Grossman last week… I think. Three interceptions and another Bears loss, it sure looked like the same QB to me. In all fairness to Brian Griese he didn't give up all the league-record 34 points in the fourth quarter to the Lions, just some of them. Griese will get the start again this week but faces and even better defense on the road. "Our season is not over," linebacker Brian Urlacher said. "But we have to get better. We stink right now." - You got that right Brian. Packers by eleven.

  • Start: WR Bernard Berrian, TE Desmond Clark, Bears D/ST
  • Consider: RB Cedric Benson, K Robbie Gould
  • Sit: QB Brian Griese, WR Muhsin Muhammad, QB Rex Grossman, TE Greg Olsen, WR Devin Hester
