No doubt that Forte is the best RB on either team, especially as a dual threat. But when i looked a couple weeks ago, and it blew my mind then as it does now, the Bears and Packers were almost indentical in rushing yards this year....10 yds different IIRC.
Huge edge to the Bears in rushing defense though...and that will be a concern for McCarthy and Capers going in. Weather will be aconcern for sure as well. Last I heard they are predicting highs in the low 20's F with snow flurries. Not ideal for the passing game and an advantage on that brutal turf in Soldier field for Chicago.
