2. Chicago Bears

Green Bay has already defeated the Chicago Bears twice this season and doing so a third time shouldn’t be a huge issue. However, it’s also important they don’t take their division rival for granted, as the Bears are talented enough to steal one at Lambeau Field.

First, the Bears must beat the second-seeded New Orleans Saints. This may seem like an improbable task, but it was just last year when another NFC North wild card team (the Minnesota Vikings) upset the Saints in the first round.

If the Bears do somehow advance, a matchup with Green Bay will motivate them to the max. They were already pumped up for their Week 17 contest after feeling disrespected by a few comments made by the Packers. Still, that shouldn’t worry Packers’ fans too much, as Aaron Rodgers has owned this franchise since he took over as the starting quarterback.
