Week 9 comes to a close tonight as the Green Bay Packers host the Chicago Bears in a huge NFC North showdown. The Packers have a one-game lead on a Bears squad that is likely to struggle without QB Jay Cutler. Although Cutler has gotten some crap in recent years, he was off to a strong start this season before a groin injury sidelined him.
A Packers win moves them into a tie with the Saints and 49ers at 6-2. The Saints hold the edge of Green Bay due to conference record, and since they don't match up, that is where the tiebreaker would potentially start.
