You all need to stop acting like this game will be a blowout win. It is far far from that. The game could go against us for several reasons:
1. We are coming off an emotional high playing our best game and beating the best team in the NFL. It is hard to sustain that.
2. The Packers are 0-6 on the road. Their last 4 road games were against 11-2 Rams, 9-4 Patriots, 8-5 Seahawks and 6-6-1 Vikings. They have had the lead or been tied in the 4th quarter of all of them. They are due for a road victory.
3. The Packers know they have to win out to have any chance of making the playoffs.
4. The Packers have a new coach and will play hard for him.
5. We almost always get unlucky vs the Packers. They have our number until proven otherwise.
Now, we have 2 things in our favor. Rodgers comments about always winning at Soldier Field (although it's true) and the fact that we can clinch the division with a win without help from Minnesota.
Personally, I like our chances because we have a better all around team. I am not going to sit here though and say that this game is going to be a blowout or Rodgers will get injured, etc. I am smarter than that. I would take a 1 point win right now no questions asked.
