5 Bold Predictions For Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers

There is one thing certain about the Bears vs. Packers Week 10 matchup: it will be cold. The forecast is showing snow and a low of 27 degrees on Sunday night, perfect for a night game at Lambeau Field. In the first matchup, the Packers dominated the Bears 38-17 at Soldier Field. Here are five bold predictions for Bears vs. Packers in Week 10.

5. Julius Peppers Will Record At Least 2 Sacks

Julius Peppers is starting to heat up for the Packers. In the first meeting vs. Chicago back in September, Peppers just had two tackles and no sacks. Since that game, Peppers has recorded 13 tackles, three sacks and an interception return for a touchdown. He would like nothing more than sticking it to his former team. I see him collecting at least two sacks on Jay Cutler.

4. Matt Forte Will Gain At Least 150 Yards

The Green Bay Packers' defense tends to give up a lot of rushing yards (153 rushing yards per game, last in the league), and Matt Forte is ready to make them pay. The last time these two teams met, Forte had 122 yards on the ground and 49 yards receiving. You can expect more than 100 yards on the ground from Forte again and at least another 50 yards through the air. I think he'll add at least one TD this game too.

3. Randall Cobb Will Catch Two Touchdowns

Aaron Rodgers has plenty of weapons on offense, but Randall Cobb is the most dangerous. He can catch the deep ball, catch the screen pass and take it to the house, and he is good around the goal line. Cobb is averaging more than 70 yards and a touchdown per week. In the last matchup, Cobb scorched the Bears' secondary for 113 yards and two touchdowns. Expect Cobb to do much of the same in the Week 10 game at Lambeau Field.

2. Jay Cutler Will Throw At Least Two Interceptions

Jay Cutler is as inconsistent as they come, but there is no team he plays worse against than the Green Bay Packers. In 10 games, he is 1-9 against the Packers. He has a completion percentage of just 57 percent against Green Bay and has thrown 19 interceptions compared to just 14 TDs.

Sunday night in Lambeau Field with snow and temperatures below freezing sounds like a perfect scenario for the Packers. The cold and the crowd will be too much for Jay Cutler and the Bears. Since 2000, the Packers are 20-10 against their NFC North rivals, including winning eight of the last 10 matchups against the Bears. Aaron Rodgers and his group of talented receivers should put up big numbers, winning 34-17.
