Summary:
Chicago actually puts up nice yardage totals but they have really struggled to score points. Brian Hoyer has taken over at quarterback in Jay Cutler’s absence and has played pretty well. I expect him to regress back to the mean and this could be the week it starts. Green Bay’s offense has struggled so far considering the amount of talent they have at their disposal. Aaron Rodgers has been shockingly inaccurate at times and that has really hurt them. Fortunately, the Packers defense has stepped up and played well for most of the season. I think Green Bay is a lock to win this one at home.
