Not saying they are head in shoulders better or anything its very very close. I think we should also piont out that the two teams are tough to compare because they play drastically different style. Pack have more of a attack style, create bad QB decisions and interceptions style D, where i see the Bears as being more of the cover 2 but tackle and get strips. thats where/why you see the differences IMO.
I expect the game to be close, and I think it will come down to the Qbs. If rodgers plays like he can packers should win this game. if the offence struggles, as it has at times versus the Bears, then the Bears will win. I think the game at Soilder this year was a game where virtually everything went right for the Bears. They got the block, they got the penalties (most, but not all were desevered) and they got a packers offence that really struggled in the first half of the season.
i will also piont out i think the Bears are better offensivly now too, which is why I say i think it will come down to the QBs. If Rodgers players well and cutler gets caught one even 1 of the few mistakes he is likely to make, Pack should win. if rodgers and the offence don't play well, Bears will win.

The Charles Tillman snub was equally as bad as the Tramon snub, they both had fantastic seasons and were undercut for the probowl
I agree that the quarterback battle will be an important factor in the game, bit IMO it will come down to both teams' offensive line vs the opposing D line. While I won't
object that Cutler has his awful days I think too few times its realised that the Bears have one of,
if not one the worst offensive line in the league.
The biggest advantage Chicago has is the better running game. Forte has played well this season both running the ball and catching out of the backfield. They typically give him 30 touches a game to take pressure off Cutler's passing game and I don't think that changes this week.
