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.

Yeah, the turf has been known to slow down pass rushes immensly. Peppers only has 3 sacks at home this year and if you watch, he has resorted to bull rush 90% odf the time over swims and spins. It will be interesting to see how he and Mathews perform on the garbage field in Chicago.
