As the Chicago Bears go into TCF Field to play the Minnesota Vikings tonight a lot of Green Bay Packers fans will be rooting for the Vikings to keep the Pack's division hopes alive, but there might be another way to look at it. I got a text last night from Sports Talk 920's co-host Rudy saying that he is going to cheer for the Bears tonight so that they lock up the division so when the Packers host the Bears in week 17 the Bears would have little to play for, giving the Packers a good chance to get the final wild card spot. Although this might be unorthodox it might not be a terrible way of looking at things, but if the Bears doesn't have the division locked up, they would likely play a lot harder and take away any chance of the Packers would have of making the post season. On the other hand it might not matter because even if they do have the division locked up they still might have something to play for, because depending on how the Eagles play in the last two weeks they might have to play their tails off to hold on to the #2 seed in the NFC playoff race. No matter who you are cheering for which way you are looking at it, sit back relax and enjoy some Monday Night Football.
