Packers Edge Out Bears in Rivalry Game, Experts Say
The Chicago Bears are set to face off against their arch-rivals, the Green Bay Packers, on Sunday at Lambeau Field, and experts are predicting a close but decisive win for the Packers. According to Sun-Times' analysts, the Packers will prove too much for the Bears, with all four experts picking the Packers to take the game.
Patrick Finley predicts a 24-21 overtime victory for the Packers, citing the unusual trend of 9-3 teams being underdogs in their 13th game since the Super Bowl era. The previous instances suggest that the Packers' experience and talent will give them an edge over the Bears.
Jason Lieser, on the other hand, believes the Packers will be the best team the Bears face all season and that they'll secure a narrow win of 27-23. However, he notes that this game is just another chance for the Bears to try again against their rivals in two weeks.
Scoop Jackson takes a more emotional approach, suggesting that avenging a past loss will be key for the Bears, who need to prove they're not the same team they were last season. He predicts the Bears will pull off a hard-fought 21-20 win.
Steve Greenberg agrees with Lieser's assessment of the Packers' strength but adjusts his prediction to give them a slightly wider margin of victory: 27-23. The expert notes that while the scales won't be tipped in favor of either team, the Packers have earned his confidence after their impressive Thanksgiving win.
Mark Potash takes a more nuanced approach, pointing out that this isn't a normal Bears team and season but still predicts they'll fall to the Packers. However, he believes it will be closer than expected, with the final score being 27-24.
The experts' consensus is clear: the Packers are expected to emerge victorious in this high-stakes rivalry game, with the Bears giving them a test.
