[CBFF] 4 Bears on "Best Team Money Can Buy" (ESPN: Clayton)

[Matt Langschwager]

Honestly, I could see the Lions beating us in Week 16.  They play decent at home, and the Bears are 1-3 at Ford Field (with the win being in OT).  I'm even going to ENTERTAIN thoughts of a loss in Week 2, not after that home opening debacle in 2004 that utterly ruined my birthday celebration.
   
  As to the Packers.  Putting aside the "anything can happen with a rivalry" line of thought, there's no WAY Lovie doesn't have our boys prepped for a Week One win.  Not with last year's season ender still fresh.  (Yes, it's still fresh in my mind.)  And speaking of last year, history shan't repeat itself as no starters are pulled in Week 17 this year.  Bears sweep the Pack and Lovie goes up 5-1 on Farve.

  Oh and arrogance is PERFECTLY acceptable right now!  As long as it's toned down by Labor Day.

  I hate to say it, but I think the Packers and Lions each have at least six 
wins, possibly one apiece against the Bears. These are still division games, 
and arrogance would not be a good thing right now.
