Can the Bears beat the Packers and punch their ticket to the playoffs?

-

Brad Biggs (10-5)

If an 8-7 team that has a playoff appearance hanging in the balance can be loose, you could describe the Bears as that in the days leading up to this divisional rivalry. The offense has taken on a new look with Bill Lazor calling plays, Mitch Trubisky at quarterbac­k andDavid Montgomery running hungry. As a result, the Bears have been producing in the red zone and scoring points in bunches against some dreadfully bad opponents. The degree of difficulty is ramped up thisweek, and they face an opponent thatwill be difficult to beat in a high-scoring affair.
