Welcome to the board. Looking forward to a great matchup on Sunday. I feel like both of these teams are playing with the house's money right now, based on preseason expectations. You might notice there is a lot of enthusiasm here, but the Patriots are really a special team this year with a bunch of overachieving, undrafted guys on offense and quickly developing young guys on defense. There's a lot to be excited about.
I'd like to hear more about the Bears, as I don't really know the NFC that well. The few games I've seen, Peppers has been a beast and has changed that defense with relentless pressure.
In my opinion, this game comes down to a few things: how will the Bears respond to the multiple personnel packages that the Patriots can use on offense (as I'm sure you saw on Monday night) and will Cutler play within his system or try to be a hero. I think the first part of this will pretty difficult for the Bears, but then again, the Patriots offense really depends on Brady opening the game with precision, which then forces defenses to adjust and ultimately get confused. If Brady is not precise, the Patriots then have to rely on their talent (good, but not unstoppable) rather than having their way with a revolving group of headaches for a defense. As for the second point, the question is whether Cutler has matured or if just having a string of good games.
