From NFL.com:
The Packers made their transition to the defensive scheme under veteran coordinator Dom Capers look smooth in the preseason. Green Bay is the only team in the NFC North to use the system, which the Packers hope gives them an edge over divisional foes. However, players like Aaron Kampman will have to show a position switch from defensive end to linebacker can be handled at a high level.
Devin Hester is supposed to be Cutler's deep threat, but is still working on refining his route running skills. He caught seven balls for 60 yards in three preseason games, but also looked rough at times. TE Greg Olson could become Cutler's top target, but someone from the young receiving corps has to step up for the passing game to really succeed.
The Bears are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games as a road underdog of 3.5-10.0.
The Packers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. NFC North.
