The Chicago Bears vs. the New England Patriots... now THIS should be a great game. Both teams are fresh off of shutouts, with Da Bears beating Da Jets 10-0 and New England crushing Green Bay 35-0. Chicago's the dominant team in the NFC right now and one of the best in the league, but they're the new kids on the block. Tom Brady and the Patriots have been a powerhouse for a long time, so they'll be an excellent measuring stick to see just how good Rex Grossman and company really are right now. So who do you guys like in this one?

This is a tough call, but I think I will have to go with Brady on this one. The Bears have a better defense IMO, but I think Brady is going to find a way to beat them. I hope it is the game of the week.

Gotta go with the Bears in this one. Their defense is strong/fast enough to keep Brady in panic mode most of the game.

this will be a great test for both teams

the Bears need to see if they are really ready for the post season

the Pats need to see if they still got it

Pats will find a way through the Bears D......the RB tandem in New England is just too good and Brady can throw to 10 different people

i think Grossman will hit a wall in Foxboro..........the Pats D is quick and hard hitting

Pats 24
Bears 14

ok, so i gave the Pats an extra TD

what a great finish to a sloppy game for both teams

Not unless the Bears make a change at QB. Grossman is like an anchor, keeping this team down. He committed every one of his team's four turnovers today, and regardless of what Jimmy Johnson said on the postgame, it WAS his fault. He made some bad throws and some worse decisions. As is, they can't get past Dallas.
