Related: About this forumBears - Packers
It's the oldest rivalry in the NFL. There is no team Bears fans want to beat more than the Packers, and vice versa. It's rare that this game happens when both teams are actually pretty good. It's even rarer - perhaps unprecedented - that the winner gets at least temporary possession of the #1 seed in the playoffs.
Chicago is all a-buzz right now. The Bears have a very good running game and a good offense overall, but they haven't faced a defense this good. Their offensive line - much lauded hereabouts and rightly so -will be facing huge threats: Micah Parsons this week, Myles Garrett next week, and Micah Parsons the week after. Then there's the question of which Jordan Love will show up; sometimes he's quite average, and sometimes he's superhuman.
This might be a game for the ages. Or it could be a blowout either way. This is why we watch football.

Saw the Bears win a SuperBowl and the Bulls win 6 championships.
Fans for both of these teams are pros at sitting out in the cold for HOURS.
