Offense:
I'm going to try not to be biased, but the Green Bay Packers offense is undoubtedly the best in the NFL. Starks has been fantastic in his last two games, and Rodgers has become one of the (or in my opinion THE) best quarterback in the NFL. His QB rating in the playoffs is currently 130. The Bears have Matt Forte, who after a down 2009 has really come together to form a solid back. Jay Cutler is very, very inconsistent. We could expect 5 INT or 3 TD. But all we know is that it won't be as good as rodgers.
EDGE: Packers
Defense:
These are two great defenses, but only one is elite. Jay Cutler know which one that is. You could make a case that Charles Woodson and Clay Matthews are the 2 best defensive players in the league. Tramon Williams had 2 picks vs Atlanta, and Desmond Bishop has been one of many filling in for 9 injured defense players very well. The bears have Urlacher, who is not nearly as good as Clay, Tillman, who is not nearly as good as williams or Woodson, and really no other big players.
Edge: Packers
Special Teams:
Oy. This may not be as fun to blog about. Why, because the Pack has a weak kick return coverage team, and Devin Hester is one of the best returners ever. Though Masthay has become a semi-decent punter, he must punt it out of bounds. Robbie Gould is about as good of a kicker as Crosby, and he has no Packers returners to fear.
Edge: Bears
OVERALL EDGE: PACKERS
"It's going to be a good game" says various sources, but they are wrong. The Packers are a far better team as I have talked about above. Home field and cold don't matter when you're Aaron Rodgers.
The Pick:
Packers: 31
Bears:17
