This opening match of the 2015 regular season will see the long time rivalry between these two NFL teams continue. Green Bay faltered enough in the 2015 preseason to find themselves at the bottom of the NFC North Team in terms of victories, claiming two wins and two losses. Overall points claimed during the same preseason tie them with the Minnesota Vikings, each having claimed 105. However, the Packers will need to up their defence to cause enough of a disruption to the Chicago Bears, considering they allowed opposing teams to claim 84 points against them in the preseason.
However, if 2014’s season is any clue as to how Green Bay will fare this year, then they have nothing to worry about. They won 12 games and lost just four, clinching the division, while the Bears floundered at the bottom of the NFC North Team. Green Bay took a total of 486 points in 2014 and 58 touchdowns, while averaging a total off 266.3 yards in passing and 119.8 yards in rushing. Defensively, Green Bay gave up 226.4 yards in passing and 119.9 yards in rushing.
Spirits will be riding high in the Chicago Bears’ camp though, following their clobbering of the Cleveland Browns in week four of the 2015 NFL preseason. David Falles completed 14 of 18 passes in the game for 11 yards and two touchdowns, which assisted the team in claiming a 24-0 victory. On the ground in the same game, Ka’Deem Carey rushed for 68 yards in 12 attempts and Jeremy Langford put in an additional 55 yards in nine attempts.
While last year saw the Bears at the bottom of the NFC North Team division, managing to only claim five victories and lose 11 other games, they did average 237 passing yards and 90.1 rushing yards, whilst also maintaining defensive stats of 264.4 passing yards and 112.7 rushing yards. Looking at Chicago’s 2015 preseason, they claimed joint second position in the division, winning three of their four games and claiming 82 total points.

Free NFL Pick
Aaron Rodgers may be the best QB in the NFL, but the loss of Jordy Nelson is a big one. The Packers scored 38 points last time they were here, but a banged up Randal Cobb may find the going difficult with him being the first option this season. The Bears defense has only one way to go and that is up and we foresee this defense getting better each week. Chicago’s offense is a different story. This may be the worst offensive line early and starting QB Cutler doesn’t have the same options in the passing game.
