@ Green Bay Packers (2-1) (Thursday Night Football)
The Bears get no favors from the schedule makers. After playing a well-rested Jaguars team on Sunday, the Bears get to turn around 4 days later and play the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football.
The Bears problems with the Packers are well documented. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers seemed to be going through one of their early-season slow starts with a 1-1 record while struggling to a Week 1 win over the Jaguars followed by a Week 2 loss to the Vikings, but then exploded for 34 points and withstood a late charge by the Lions for a 34-27 win.
Aaron Rodgers’ career splits vs the Bears include a 12-4 record with nearly 3900 yards, 35 TD’s to just 9 INT’s for a passer rating of 107.3. On the other sideline, if he’s back, Jay Cutler’s career splits vs the Packers are not quite as stellar: 2-11 record with 2881 yards, 16 TD’s to 22 INT’s for a passer rating of 68.9. That’s about all you need to know about this matchup, isn’t it?
Completely arbitrary odds of a Bears win? 5% (Only if Shea McClellin comes back and breaks Aaron Rodgers again!)
