The end is almost near – and the stakes are the highest they have been all season. Green Bay (12-6 overall) travel to Chicago to take on the Bears (12-5 overall) to decide one of the Super Bowl Contenders. Green Bay is favored by four points. The total is listed at 44. Both teams are familiar with one another. They played each other twice in 2010, with each team getting a win in the series. In the past 10 matchups each team is 5-5 SU and 5-5 ATS as well.
Green Bay enters their third postseason game. They are on fire with wins at Atlanta and at Philadelphia. QB Aaron Rodgers, who struggled earlier in the season, was near perfect against Atlanta. He is 312 of 475 attempts (over 65 percent) for 3,922 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
Chicago hasn’t faced the same postseason challenges as Green Bay. They beat Seattle (as 10-point favorites) by 11 points to move forward and end up in this game. Compare numbers, and you’ll see
that – while generally efficient – Jay Cutler ranks significantly lower in the passing game than Aaron Rodgers. Cutler is 261 of 432 attempts (just over 60 percent) for 3,274 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions.
