NFL FREE PICK: Take the over. Green Bay’s defense was a concern coming into this season and they showed why after a 30-22 loss at home to San Francisco last week at Lambeau Field. San Francisco might be improved but the Packers allowed 377 total yards and Alex Smith to complete 20 of 26 for 211 yards and two TDs. Chicago provides another tough opponent as they are coming off a dominating performance in defeating the Colts, 41-21 last week. QB Jay Cutler did not even play in the second game last year at Christmas, when the Packers beat the Bears, 35-21 at home. Cutler and Brandon Marshall will be a difficult tandem for the Packers to stop. Green Bay can put up points against a Chicago defense that could have an injured Pro Bowl CB Charles Tillman (leg).
