If I had told you at the start of the season that the Chicago Bears would make it to the NFC championship and play no other than there rival the Green Bay Packers what would you say?I know what I would say. No way. But here we are just four days away from the NFC championship waiting for the game of the two rivals. Bears vs. Packers. This game could either be a blowout or a close game. Either way,the Packers will win. The Packers have an explosive offense and everyplay there is the risk of Aaron Rodgers throwing for a long touchdown because he has such good accuracy. The one trouble the Packers have had this season is the run threat because Ryan Grant got put on injury reserve after the first game. They have been trying to find a reliable back and Brandon Jackson was anything but consistent, John Kuhn couldn't be a regular back, so why don't we try James Starks who was hurt last year? They probably should of played him earlier in the season but he came just in time for when it matters. He has dominated so far in the playoffs having 189 yards on 48 carries averaging almost 4.0 yards per carry. Another problem the Packers have had is protecting Rodgers in the pocket. A couple of times last week people would get through to him and have a clear path to him but he spins away. Not only does he avoid the sack he gets off a throw for a first down. Last game he was only sacked twice. Rodgers can take care of himself. The Packers defense hasn't been very good this season but they have been able to get the stops when they need them. Now to Chicago. Yeah, Jay Cutler did well last week against the Seahawks but really it was the Seahawks. The Bears defense has been okay this season but inconsisten and they certainly can't stop the Packers offense. Jay Cutler has been good this season but he still hasn't gotten ridden of the interception bug and Matt Forte is the same hit or miss guy he was last year. I think the Bears might be able to stay in this game with a couple of big plays, but I think there chance of winning is between 0-5%.
