Bears predictions: Week 18 at Packers

The Sun-Times’ experts offer their picks for the Bears’ season finale Sunday at the rival Packers (noon, Fox 32):

Rick Morrissey

Packers, 31-13: Green Bay doesn’t do compassion, not when it comes to the Bears. But a horrible season will reach a merciful end. So there’s that. Season: 13-3.

Rick Telander

Packers, 35-10: I surrender. I tried to believe the Bears weren’t as bad as they are in all nine phases: offense, defense, special teams, coaching, creativity, focus, management, talent, desire, ownership. They win. They’re that bad. Season: 9-7.

Scoop Jackson

Packers, 18-12: The only mission the Bears have left is to not look uglier than they did last week. The Packers will give them that grace, but not the game. The End. Finally. Season: 10-6.

 

Patrick Finley

Packers, 28-16: The Bears have lost their last 11 games against their rivals by an average score of — you guessed it — 28-16. The Bears have scored less than 16 points in six games of their 10-game skid this season. Season: 14-2.

Jason Lieser

Packers, 30-18: The Bears’ defense managed the Packers well in their first meeting, but a lot has changed for both teams since then: The Packers have averaged 31.3 points, while the Bears have allowed 26.8. Season: 12-4.

 

Mark Potash

Packers, 23-10: Winning at Lambeau Field — and assuring the Packers of a first-round road playoff game against the Eagles instead of the Rams — would warm the hearts of Bears fans. But it’s even too late for that, at this point. Season: 11-5.
