McCarthy Coming to Realization About Packers' Defense

That is, all they've done this season is rely on takeaways instead of just being able to force fourth downs.

"We need to be more than a football team that just has to rely on winning the turnover ratio," McCarthy told ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky earlier this week.

It's good that he finally realizes that, as the Packers, as good as they've seemingly been this year, still lead the league in rushing yards allowed. Not to mention their pass defense isn't too great either, another fact that should motivate them to improve. Again, should, but let's face it, probably won't.

Packers listed as 10 point favorites for Monday's Bears game

Earlier this week, Vegas released their NFL Week 9 predictions, with our Green Bay Packers being picked as 10 point favorites for their game Monday night against the Bears. This prediction shouldn't surprise you, as the game is at Lambeau, where the Packers rarely lose, and the Bears, despite currently sitting at 4-3 overall, have lost 3 out of their last 4 contests. 

While I would never bet my money on any game, I must say I agree with the oddsmakers on this one. The Packers are much better than the Bears this year. Since they're better, they will not lose. That's how it works.
