This is the Pack a Day podcast.

Welcome back to the Pack a Day-Day podcast, the Sunday edition. I'm Mark Echko. I'm joined by Gage Bridgeford and Gage. We got a big one this week. The oldest rivalry in the NFL, the Green Bay Packers, travel to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears.

Packers are a four and a half point favorite from what I've seen on most lines.

It's a big game.

I think we're still relatively early in the season, but we're past that first quarter.

To me, this is the biggest game of the season so far because a win kind of gives a Packers a lot of

breathing room in the NFC North.

Oh, yeah.

I couldn't agree more.

You're right.

It's not necessarily like must win, but it kind of is.

This is a big game, especially with the NFC North, really underperforming so far this year.

I mean, you have Chicago is the only other NFC team with three wins.

Green Bay would then be 2-0 or would then be 2-0 in the division, which would be huge.

And it really would, I think, separate them from the rest of the division

because people were wanting to make the Vikings as like Dark Horse to win the NFC North. I think Chicago's kind of overperformed a little bit.

Chicago still has a negative point differential. Granted, so does Green Bay. But that's, but Green Bay has

ripped off four straight since that week one loss. And there's a lot of teams that are kind

of putting week one kind of behind him. And there was some weird expectations after week one, like, oh, maybe the Panthers are going to be really good and they're going to contend in the NFC South. And everyone's kind of realized, no, Sam Darnold kind of overperformed in week one. Same thing with the Saints. So I agree. It's a big game.

Rogers loves playing in Chicago, loves playing just the Bears in general.
