After having played five consecutive games against teams that had winning percentages of .500 or less in 2015, the Bears will run into the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night in Week 7. Seeing that the game is being played on a Thursday should let you know that Chicago will have a short week to prepare for their hated rival. Initially, one would be skeptical about the Bears’ chances of winning this game. But let’s not forget that Chicago faced Green Bay in the same circumstances last season.

After a heartbreaking loss in Week 11 to the Denver Broncos, the Bears had to turn right back around and travel to Lambeau Field on Thanksgiving night, later shocking the country by beating the Cheeseheads by the score of 17-13. The Bears will need lightening to strike twice in order to stay in the hunt for the divisional crown.
