The Packers are done and are not going to make the playoffs. The Bears, on the other hand, got a gift from the Atlanta Falcons yesterday as they beat the Vikings. It’s only fair because the Falcons stole one from the Bears earlier in the year or the Bears wouldn’t be in this spot to begin with.

If the Bears win out they are in the playoffs and have two games remaining. One is tonight against the Packers, who killed the Bears a month ago and the other is against the Texans at home. I like Chicago tonight for a couple reasons. One, it is a home game and two, the Packers have packed in the season. I know it is a rivalry game and everything but when it is -20 wind chill tonight and Green Bay doesn’t have something besides pride to play for I think they will fold up and quit. I hope they do.

Here’s the way it goes for Chicago: If the Vikings lose to the Giants next week and the Bears win then the Bears win the division and they are in. If the Vikings win, the Bears win and the Eagles beat Dallas AND Tampa loses to Oakland then the Bears make it.

I just don’t think the Bears get in unless the Giants beat the Vikings and with home field locked up for the Giants I can’t see them playing all their starters right before the playoffs start. We’ll see, but it all means nothing unless the Bears win tonight.
