Packers/Bears History Notes

Just like Mike McCarthy has an edge over Brad Childress, Lovie Smith has handled McCarthy's Packer teams. Smith's Bears teams have won 4 straight in Green Bay with the Packers scoring no more than 20 points.

McCarthy's 1st game as Green Bay coach was a 26-0 loss to the Smith/Bears combo. They won their Chicago game that year but lost both games in 2007 27-20 at home and 35-7 at Chicago. The Chicago games were 2/3rds of the Packers losses last season. McCarthy has yet to win a meaningful game against Chicago.

Overall the Bears lead the series 89-79-6. From 2001-2003 the Pack took 6 staight against the Bears.

Green Bay is a 4 point favorite. Can the Bears go past 4 and make it 5 straight at Lambeau?
