Bears predictions: Week 2 at Packers

The Sun-Times’ experts offer their picks for the Bears’ game Sunday night at the rival Packers:

RICK MORRISSREY

Packers, 28-17: Sunday night will let everyone know whether the Packers simply had a bad day at the office in Week 1 or whether Aaron Rodgers misses Davante Adams way more than he thought possible. Based on Rodgers’ ‘‘ownership’’ of the Bears, I’m leaning heavily toward the former. Season: 0-1.

RICK TELANDER

Packers, 27-24: A winless team favored mightily over an undefeated team? Oh, ye of little faith! I’m talking to you, Las Vegas books. I guess myself, too. Unless there’s another monsoon, the Bears can’t make Rodgers a total loser. Season: 0-1.

LAURENCE HOLMES

Packers, 28-20: The Bears could announce themselves and deal a major blow to Green Bay with a victory. Matt Eberflus’ squad is tough and disciplined, but I’d like to see it again before I totally jump on board. Bears put up a fight but fall short. Season: 0-1.

PATRICK FINLEY

Packers, 21-9: Four of the Bears’ last five head coaches won their Bears debuts at Lambeau Field, and Matt Nagy would have, too, had Kyle Fuller squeezed an interception. It’s too much to expect Eberflus to join the list — and for the Packers to start 0-2. Season: 0-1.

JASON LIESER

Packers, 26-18: Even with so many high-profile departures, the Bears seem to have better footing all around under Eberflus than they did under Nagy. That means there’s far less chance of them embarrassing themselves, but they still aren’t good enough to take down Aaron Rodgers. Season: 0-1.

MARK POTASH

Packers, 17-10: The improved Bears will be game, but the Packers don’t figure to grease the skids with penalties, like the 49ers did. Plus, Rodgers is better than Trey Lance. The Packers are 9-0 after a loss under Matt LaFleur, averaging 31.9 points. Season: 0-1.
