The 2023 NFL season is here, and the stage is set for the Green Bay Packers to face off against NFC North competition, the Chicago Bears, in a historic rivalry game.

As we anticipate the renewal of this storied NFL rivalry, we’re about to get a bit daring with some incredibly bold predictions. We’re not talking your everyday bold; we’re going bold-bold. So fasten your seatbelts because we’re diving into predictions for the offense, defense, we-fense, and wrapping it all up with a game prediction. It’s going to be quite the ride!

Here are five extremely bold predictions for the Week 1 rivalry matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears.

Anders Carlson is Perfect on Kicks

Talking about rides, it’s been a roller coaster for Anders Carlson throughout training camp and preseason. He’s been all over the place, shanking basic kicks on one rep and bombing 55-yarders through the uprights on the next.

He finished the preseason on a high, and I predict he’ll carry that into Soldiers Field on Sunday. Carlson has shown up in big moments so far, and this could be the start of something special. Patience is a virtue, but Carlson will provide Green Bay with immediate results in Week 1.
