It’s a 6 Pack at Lambeau

Brad Biggs (9-7 in 2017)

No question the Bears gained ground on their archrival and in some cases beat the Packers to personnel such as Kyle Fuller, Allen Robinson and perhaps Khalil Mack. A healthy Aaron Rodgers makes the Packers a threat in the division and he’s the main reason they’re a touchdown favorite. Rich Campbell (11-5)

The excitement about Matt Nagy’s team is justifiable. The innovative, diverse offense. The influx of linebacker talent on a top-10 defense. They could even win Sunday. But heed Nagy's words when he insists this will take time. David Haugh (8-8)

The improvement in the Bears will be obvious on both sides of the ball, but Aaron Rodgers remains peerless and ageless, the biggest difference between two rivals whose gap has closed but not enough to predict an upset in the opener. Colleen Kane (9-7)

The Bears defense may be stout this year. The offense may be more exciting than last year. But this game still pits Mitch Trubisky, in his second year and commanding a new offense, against Aaron Rodgers, who is 16-4 vs. the Bears. Edge, Packers. Phil Thompson (9-7)

Watch out for Davante Adams, who scored in both meetings last year. Until they prove otherwise, the Bears are vulnerable to big plays to wideouts . It will be interesting to see what wrinkles Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin throws at Vic Fangio. Dan Wiederer (12-4)

Matt Nagy has a tough act to follow. John Fox, Marc Trestman, Lovie Smith and Dick Jauron all won in their first trips into Lambeau Field as Bears coach. Nagy settles for a close loss.
