| The Green Bay Packers Head to The Windy City To Take on the Chicago Bears |
The latest NFL lines for this game and all of the other games on the schedule for this week will be found at online sportsbook BetPhoenix. The NFL's longest-standing rivalry opens another chapter when the Green Bay Packers (2-0) face the Chicago Bears (1-1) at Soldier Field in Week 3. Of course, people are still talking about the last chapter. Green Bay beat Chicago 21-14 in last year's NFC championship game, a matchup Jay Cutler left early with an injured MCL. Cutler is on the spot again, but the Bears will have to keep him upright to have a chance. The trade-off is Green Bay's beat-up secondary that lost Nick Collins for the season and might be without Tramon Williams. After surrendering a league-worst 56 sacks last season, the Bears (1-1) are again leading the NFL with 11 allowed. Cutler was sacked six times in last Sunday's 30-13 loss to New Orleans, although five of them came in the fourth quarter when all the scoring was done. Cutler now faces a Green Bay team that has seven sacks and got to him 11 times in three meetings last season. Although the Packers have done a good job of getting to the quarterback, their secondary has been vulnerable in victories over New Orleans and Carolina. It seems like they could have even more trouble with their pass defense with three-time All Pro safety Nick Collins being done for the year because of a neck injury. Collins was injured while trying to tackle Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart in the fourth quarter of last Sunday's 30-23 win. Even with Collins, however, the Packers have had trouble, allowing Drew Brees to pass for 419 yards and three touchdowns and Cam Newton to throw for 432 yards and a TD. The defense did manage to pick off Newton three times and stop him a yard short of the marker on a fourth-down keeper on the Green Bay four-yard line with just over three minutes remaining. This battle of long-time rivals will be decided by what team stands up on the defensive side of the ball and makes a stand against two offenses that are capable of putting up big points. The winner of this game will get the advantage in a competitive division.

The Green Bay Packers have looked super this season, but they need to win against the Chicago bears on Sunday if they want to do well in the division.
