00:02 >> Joe P, what do you think you will learn from this opening
00:06 game between Green Bay and Chicago?
00:09 >> Well, it's fun because we're really turning the page, I think, too.
00:11 These are teams that have struggled for a long time.
00:13 And now for the first time in a long time, when you're the Chicago Bears,
00:17 you're one of those teams that struggled, you start to have hope.
00:19 Same thing with the Lions a couple years ago, right?
00:21 And starting to build some hope in this division.
00:23 I'm still on the Packer side of this game, despite it being the road.
00:25 I like them on the money line at minus 104, and here's why.
00:29 Because I do think it's tough to kind of shake the trees.
00:32 And I think it's kind of tough for people to look and say, no more Aaron Rodgers.
00:37 That means we're automatically get that W after all these years of Aaron Rodgers
00:40 sticking it to us as the Bears for years and years and years and a decade plus.
00:45 And I think psychologically it's gonna be fascinating if Jordan Love gets this first
00:48 win against the Bears, the team that they've owned basically for the last decade plus.
00:52 And I think this is the kind of thing I'm talking about.
00:54 This is how you start to build a little bit of that confidence in your roster.
00:59 And I think at the end of the day, although the Bears did get DJ Moore and
01:03 the Bears did have a pretty good draft there,
01:06 starting to rebuild that offensive line.
01:08 The Bears are still a big work in progress for me.
01:11 So Justin Fields is capable of taking over a game, we all know that.
01:14 But at the end of the day, I'm still gonna lie with the best group here.
01:17 And the best unit I think is still that Packers defense of all four units on
01:20 the field at any given time.
01:22 So I'm gonna go in there.
01:23 I think the Packers win this one in a sneaky one at minus 104 in the ML.
