I mean, Micah Parsons is a big deal.

He's so big that when he got hurt, we all went, I don't know if the Packers can go to the Super Bowl anymore.

That's how awesome he is.

And then you couple that with Jordan Love not having played in three weeks and really only practicing limited times.

Yeah, it's hard for me to get behind that and go, wait, the team that's 0-4 and a quarterback that hasn't played, he's just going to hit the ground running on Saturday night and throw for 300 yards and beat the Bears.

So that's why I go with the Bears.

But the Bears, there's no doubt, one thing in particular shows to me that has to be better if they want to win this game is the drop back pass game.

That's it, plain and simple.

The first game, they ran the ball.

They ran bootlegs.

They did a little of that.

They left yards and plays there to be had in the drop-back pass game.

The second time around, the drop-back pass game didn't deliver until late in the game, and the Packers got a little conservative trying to protect their lead.

This is a game where, yes, I do believe Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams are going to have to win through the pass game.

You're not going to be able to just run the ball at will on Green Bay.

And that's kind of how I look at it.

I picked them to win 23-20, but like I said, I think it's going to be a nail-biter.

Right.

I think the big thing is that, first off, let's take it from the Packers' perspective.

They're going to look at it and think some of the same things you just said, some of the things I've said.
