Breaking the Packers playoff hopes on a -Hell's Freezing Over- day at Soldier Field is gonna feel so fricking good. GBs the one team in the NFCN we haven't beaten this year. Finish the trifecta of home wins, screw GB out of the playoffs and give them a middling pick in the draft. The only way this gets better is if we breaking Rogers fingers
A loss to the bears wouldn't eliminate them. Detroit could very easily lose to the Giants and Dallas.... Further, If GB can't beat this Bears team they don't deserve to be in the playoffs...
You are aware that Bears beat Det and Min this year? Ohhh I get it, you meant to say Bears deserve to be in the playoffs?? Very kind of you
The slate of games being featured in NFL Week 15 offers fans plenty of opportunities to root for the underdog.
Is there any way the Chicago Bears can beat the Green Bay Packers? We say yes, as crazy as that sounds. What about the New England Patriots visiting the Denver Broncos? Oh yeah.
These favorites are among those in danger of being upset in NFL Week 15.

Green Bay Packers (-6) vs. Chicago Bears
On paper, in a vacuum, there is no way the surging Packers should lose to the Bears, who’ve won just three games all year. But this game isn’t being played on paper, or in a vacuum. It’s being played at Soldier Field, where the temperature is set to be in the single digits and it’s going to be windy to boot (more on that here).
It’s literally going to be a frozen tundra, and anything can happen on such a field. Playing in conditions like this, running the ball well is likely going to be the key to victory.
And with three weeks left to play, the leading rushers for Green Bay remain Eddie Lacy (on IR), Aaron Rodgers and Ty Montgomery, who is a receiver. James Starks is a shifty back who can sometimes break off big gains, but he is not an ideal back when it comes to pounding the rock.
On the other side, rookie Jordan Howard has proven to be quite the steal as a fifth-round pick out of Indiana. He needs just 31 yards to eclipse 1,000 yards and has scored six total touchdowns.
The Packers have been solid against the run this year but have also allowed some big performances by run-first teams.
If Rodgers and Co. struggle to make hay through the air, don’t be surprised if the Packers ends up dropping a game to their NFC North rival.
