NFL Picks For Week 17 Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers Packers Quarterback NFL Picks For Week 17- Bet Bears vs Packers - Sunday, January 2nd, 4:15pm EST FOX The NFL picks for week 17 on the Pro Football 2010-2011 season are out on the Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers Sunday late afternoon football match-up. This Sunday the Chicago Bears head to Lambeau Field as a 10 point underdog to battle their NFC North rival Green Bay Packers. The Chicago Bears offense vs the Green Bay Packers defense favor the Packers. The Bears are 30th in yards and 18th in points, while the Packers are 9th in yards allowed and 2nd in points allowed. If the Bears can protect the quarterback, the Bears can be very good in the passing game. The problem with that is that they give up the most sacks and they are going up against a great passing defense that is one of the best teams in getting pressure on the quarterback. The Bears need to run the ball in order to set up the passing game. The problem with that is that they are 24th in rushing. The NFL picks for week 17 advantage goes to the Packers.

The Green Bay Packers offense vs the Chicago Bears defense is a great matchup. The Packers are 8th in yards and points, while the Bears are 10th in yards allowed and 4th in points allowed. The Packers are not good in the run game, and don't expect them to do anything in the run game against this 3rd ranked rushing defense. It will be all passing for this 5th ranked passing offense against this 18th ranked passing defense. But because of that, expect a lot of sacks because the Packers give up a lot of sacks, and expect some turnovers because the Bears are one of the best in creating turnovers. NFL picks advantage goes to the Bears because they will be getting turnovers. The special teams favor the Bears. The Bears are 3rd in kickoff return average and 1st in punt return average, while the Packers are 26th in kickoff return average and 23rd in punt return average. The Bears are 23rd in kickoff return average allowed but 7th in punt return average allowed, while the Packers are 12th in kickoff return average allowed and 25th in punt return average allowed. There's no question the Bears have the NFL picks for week 17 advantage. Looking for a few winning Kentucky Derby picks from the pros?

The Bears have Mike Martz, offensive coordinator, Rod Marinelli, defensive coordinator and assistant head coach, and Mike Tice, offensive line coach. These 3 great minds are having the Bears play better than usual. Packers head coach Mike McCarthy and defensive coordinator Dom Capers has the offensive and defensive schemes to counterattack anything that their opponents will show them. They also have Aaron Rodgers who controls the Packers offense. This is a great coaching matchup, but I will normally take the great quarterback over the defense anytime, so I am giving the advantage to the Packers because of Aaron Rodgers. My NFL picks for week 17 on the Chicago Bears vs the Green Bay Packers Sunday late afternoon football game is out. It will depend on a couple of game that are being played earlier, the Atlanta Falcons game and the New Orleans Saints game. If both teams lose, the Bears have an opportunity to have the number 1 seed in the NFC. If at least 1 of them wins, then the Bears get the 2nd seed and they won't have anything to play for. Having said that, the Bears head coach said that he will be playing every starter. However depending on the outcome of the other games, the Bears might not be motivated, but will still go out and try to beat the Packers. The Bears need to protect the quarterback in order for the quarterback to make plays down the field. One of the things they can do is run screen plays to keep the Packers honest from not blitzing. The Packers have the momentum from last week's game, and it will continue in this game. It will be up to the Bears to get pressure on the quarterback to force him to make bad decisions and capitalize on them. If the Bears win this game, it will be because of their special teams. I do believe that the special teams will keep them in this game, and keep this game close, but since the Packers need this game more and will be more motivated to win this game, the Packers will pull out the win. Packers win this game 27-24. --- by Eric Price at 1800-sports.com on December 30, 2010
