After months of waiting, the 2015 regular season will get underway for the Chicago Bears this Sunday when they square off against the Green Bay Packers.
The Bears and Packers have met 190 times before, and the Bears hold a 93-91-6 all-time record in the series. Sunday will be the 32nd time the Bears and Packers have opened up the regular season against each other, but it will only be the third time Chicago has opened the regular season at home against Green Bay.
Chicago’s 54 opening day victories are the most in NFL history, but the Bears are going to need to play a stellar game on both sides of the football on Sunday in order to beat the Packers.
The Bears will need strong performances from key players like quarterback Jay Cutler, outside linebacker Jared Allen and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, but they will also need to be strong along the offensive line and apply pressure to Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The days leading up to the start of Week 1 are always filled with bold predictions on who will have a strong game, who will struggle and which team will come away with a victory in the regular-season opener.
