This is gonna be a great game. The best team in the NFC South going up against the best team in the NFC North. The weather for the game is projected to be: 29 degrees and wind from 25 to 35 miles per hour. This means that the panthers will be at a disadvantage because the panthers are use to nice sunny days in carolina. Panthers Running game vs 8th ranked Bears rush defense. Panthers have stuggled to run the ball consitently, but has 3 good rushers. Stephen Davis turns it on near the goaline and has scored lots of TDs. With the weather bad the panthers will turn to the groung. Bears Running game vs 2nd ranked Panthers rush defense: The bears only have one healthy back in Adrian Peterson, Thomas Jones will probly play dinged up. Panthers Run defense is doing great, so i see the panthers shuting down the bears running game. Panthers passing game vs 3rd ranked bears pass defense: They are gonna have to double or triple cover steve smith because with the weather bad the panthers will throw small stuff to steve smith and he can break some tackles. Bears passing game vs 21st ranked panther pass defense: The panthers have a really great corner in Ken Lucas, he is gonna cover Muhsin Muhammad, its gonna be an all out battle with those two. Chris Gamble and Ricky Manning get the task of guarding the other mediocre WRs. Bears wont get much time when they drop back to pass because panthers front four is doing really good down this stretch. Julius Peppers is becoming a force.
the bears offense of line has been doin so well we will see if ur D line gets in and yea they might but there doing so much better than be for.
I went for Bears for obvious reason, I think the Bears safeties will come down and give a hand out watching steve smith, although I think that Thomas jones after having a week off will do okay. Remember Moos is gonna be fired up, if he gets the ball he could have a big day.

Lucas had 2 INTs while covering Coles/Mcarrins last week. With your lack of other WR Moose will get safety help so Moose wont have that great of a game

With your lack of other WR Moose will get safety help so Moose wont have that great of a game</div> Im not saying he is having a pehnomenal season but I think overall Mooseis better than either Coles or McArins. Also, ALthough Orton is not much better than Bollinger, Brooks Bollinge threw those passes wildly, The jets had to throw on those downs and Lucas knew that, If we get play action working Moose could have a big day. I repeat COULD
Muhammed should have a big day because the D will let around 17 points and they wont have n e one to turn to. I think the panthers will stop the run but wont be able to stop moosi easily. I still say 17-14 panthers.
This game is gonna be a huge defensive battle, i dont think any of the running games will be effective
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (panthersare#1)</div><div class='quotemain'>This game is gonna be a huge defensive battle, i dont think any of the running games will be effective</div> I half agree, Carolina wont be able to run the ball. Bears will.
Well I went with the Panthers mostly because I picked them to win the Super Bowl but I will say that if the weather is bad it will be at an advantage for the Bears because of their ability to run the ball. Where as Carolina has the ability to throw. This is really test for Chicago in my mind. To see how legit they really are. They haven't really beaten anyone good. Chicago wins this game then I'm with BF1. A first round bye could be in the works. If they lose then the division could get close.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (panthersare#1)</div><div class='quotemain'>I cant wait for the game!! only 5 hours away</div> We have 1 week sig bet correct?
Chicago is owning Carolina right now. Everyone is overlooking them because of how "bad" the NFC North is. The North is no worse than the AFC East in my opinion but the AFC East has the Champs which makes up for everything...
