This year's Christmas Day game in the NFL would be a lot more exciting if Jay Cutler and Matt Forte were available, but that doesn't mean this game doesn't mean anything. For one, the Packers do not have the No. 1 seed locked up yet. The Bears also have a fighting chance at making the postseason. They need the Falcons to lose to the Saints tomorrow, which is doable. The Bears need to win their final two games. Then, the Bears need the Buccaneers to upset the Falcons in Week 17. Anything is possible.
With that said, it's hard to imagine Josh McCown being able to beat the Packers, and Aaron Rodgers won't have back-to-back "off" weeks. Packers break it open in the second half to clinch the first seed.
