* The Question: What will be the final score in Sunday’s big game?

8. Packers - 31 Bears - 24

   Offensive line can’t protect Jay in the third quarter, he tries to scramble for yardage like he did in the Seattle game but the Packers aren’t the Hawks and he gets popped.

   Best trash talk - Chicago HU?

18. A Bears fan leans over to the guy next to him at a bar and asks: “Wanna hear a joke about Packer fans?”

    The guy next to him replies: “Well before you tell that joke you should know something. I’m 6′ tall and 220 pounds and I’m a Packer fan. The guy sitting next to me is 6′2″ tall, 240 pounds and he’s a Packer fan, and the guy sitting next ot him is 6′5″ 280 pounds and he’s a Packer fan too.

    “Now, do you still wanna tell that joke?”

    The Bears fan replies: “Nah, not if I’m gonna have to explain it three times.”

22. Cheesehead Governor Scott Walker’s “Escape to Wisconsin” campaign has generated a lot of buzz in parts of Illinois. This is aided by the fact that “Escape to Wisconsin” was already a familiar slogan around Tamms, Statesville and 26th and California. 

    14-13 Bears!

25. Great joke, Rich!

    Packers win, 13-10.

    An old joke about the Packers from the Forrest Gregg years is that the Packers had a great record, 15 arrests and no convictions.

    GOPACKGO!

26. Bears 23 - Pack 20, after Packers slowed by a free halftime locker room all-you-can-eat Chicago-style deep dish pizza buffet.

    Comment by Statewide Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 11:53 am

27. Green Bay will win it 27 to 17.
    Fans will call for the firing of Lovie and/or Angelo within minutes of the end of the game.

    Now is not a time for cheesy humor. My stomach is already in knots. Sad, isn’t it?

    Comment by Irish Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 12:11 pm

29. Best line (but dated) came from Dan Hampton back when many Packer players were always in some kind of trouble with the law. “If you want to know whats going on with the Packers, just keep your police scanner on….”

    Comment by Anonymous Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 12:18 pm

30. Bears 28 Pack 7 (Julie Peppers knocks Rodgers out early).

32. Steeler fans smile while we root for the Bears. We would like a sure thing.

    Comment by Pittsburgh Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 12:28 pm

33. Not a fan of either team:

    Packers 31
    Bears 13

    Comment by Amuzing Myself Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 12:31 pm

34. Bears win - 27-23

    A teacher tells her class that she’s a Packers fan. The class agrees with her except 1 little girl. When asked who she likes the girl said the Bears, the teacher asked why and the girl said, “Because my mommy & daddy are Bear fans.” The teacher replies, “That’s no reason to like them, what if your dad was an idiot and your mom was a moron, then what would you be?” The little girl replied back, “A Packers Fan.”

    Comment by dave Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 12:43 pm

35. Da Bears 34
    Packers 17

    unless Martz continues his obsession with the “wildcat” formation…which, to my recollection, has contributed nothing positive all year. I’ve worried all year his ego will cost the team…hopefully not this week. Go Bears!

    Comment by Moved To Missouri (f/k/a/ Vote Quimby!) Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 1:09 pm

36. It has been said that the British army wore red coats so that, if they
    were shot, their opponent would not be able to tell that they were
    bleeding. I guess that explains why the Packers wear yellow pants.

    Bears win a squeaker 24-20.

38. Network television’s worst nightmare:

    Super Bowl XLV : Pittsburgh Steelers v. Green Bay Packers (Dallas, TX).

    Comment by Honest Abe Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 1:20 pm

39. Bears- 30-17

    A Vikings Fan, Packers Fan, and a Bears fan all climb up a mountain. To prove his loyalty to the Vikings their fan shouts “this is for the Vikings” and jumps off the mountain. The Bears fan then exclaims “this is for the Bears” and promptly pushes the Packers fan off the cliff.

    Comment by Bring Back Boone's Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 1:26 pm

40. Bears 407, team from up north -10.

    Go Bears!

    I can’t say what the best trash talk I’ve heard all week is. This is a family website.

    Comment by jerry 101 Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 1:42 pm

41. True Story:

    A local radio station in Green Bay had a rally last weekend and a Packers fan died during the pie eating contest.

    The cow kicked him in the head.

    Comment by Scott Fawell's Cellmate Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 1:45 pm

42. Game too close to call - it will come down to who has the most turnovers.
    A Bears fan, a Packers fan and a Seahawks fan are climbing a mountain arguing about who loves their team more. The Seahawks fan says he is the most loyal. “This is for the Seahawks”, he yells and jumps off the side of the mountain. Not to be outdone, the Bears fan is next to profess love of his team. He yells, “This is for the Bears!” and pushes the Packer fan off the mountain.

    Comment by Former Merit Comp Slave Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 2:02 pm

43. It’s not a prediction, but I’d like to see the Bears win 2-0.

    Comment by Muskrat Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 2:04 pm

44. Whoops sorry for the repeat, didn’t see the first one

45. Q: What’s the difference between a Wisconsin divorce and a tornado?

    Comment by BIG R. PH Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 2:30 pm

47. Packers 34, Bears 18. Now if Ditka was the coach, Bears win 65 to 3. If Ditka was playing, Bears 124, Packers 2!

    Comment by Holdingontomywallet Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 2:49 pm

48. Bears 24 - 17

    Q: Why is it a good idea to bring a Packer fan along to a Bears game?
    A: You can park in the handicap zone.

    Comment by Wensicia Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 3:36 pm

49. Not sure who will win, but I like the under. A lot. It’s at 43.5 today, and I’m guessing this game will be like the last time these two played, lots of ugliness and tough defense.

    Bet the under. Take it to the bank.

    Go Bears.
