David Haugh (7-5): Packers 31, Bears 19
If Justin Fields plays, it gives the Bears a much better chance of competing and possibly beating the Packers. But the risk-reward calculus doesn’t add up, and expect the Packers to prevail yet again. The Bears defense simply remains too much of a sieve to think it will stop anything, even if Jordan Love plays quarterback. Chicago’s losing streak hits six.

Danny Parkins (7-5): Packers 27, Bears 26 (if Justin Fields plays)
This will be a 27-10 result if Justin Fields doesn’t play.

Matt Spiegel (8-4): Bears 27, Packers 20
Justin Fields outplays Aaron Rodgers in the Bears fan’s Super Bowl for this season, and the “lose out crowd” is sad.  

Gabe Ramirez (3-9): Bears 28, Packers 24
The game is going be on FOX, but the Bears need some TNT -- turnovers ‘n touchdowns. The Bears need to stop the Packers from putting up 30, and they can do that with a few takeaways. My delusional Bears fandom also tells me that Velus Jones Jr. will take one to the house.

Chris Tannehill (9-3): Packers 34, Bears 20
Just a few weeks ago, I believed this game against Green Bay was going to be our Super Bowl. Well, as history dictates, the Super Bowl doesn't often live up to its own hype. Aaron Rodgers said he's going to play, and at the time of this prediction, all we know for 100% sure is that Justin Fields won't be 100%. The Bears will be without one of their best defensive weapons in Eddie Jackson and one of the few players who can stretch the opposing defense in Darnell Mooney. I thought this would be the day that momentum finally swung in this historic matchup, but I think it will look more like previous iterations of this hammer/nail rivalry.

Adam Studzinski (4-8): Bears 100, Packers 0
The Packers suck. Go Bears.

Chris Emma (8-4): Packers 30, Bears 28
This game loses intrigue if Justin Fields is unable to play. Whether it’s him or Trevor Siemian at quarterback, I don’t see the Bears defense doing much well against Aaron Rodgers. 

Cam Ellis (6-6): Packers 30, Bears 13
The ownership jokes continue on and on and on. In thousands of years when all the buildings are reduced to rubble and the sky is gray, there will still be ownership jokes. Time marches on.
