Don’t miss out on all the fun tonight, tomorrow, and Saturday! It is the 2010 NFL Draft, and the fine folks at Cheesehead TV and Railbird Central (along with many other awesome guests) are hosting a virtual draft party – and you’re all invited! Come talk Packers and football and get your full fix of the draft! You can check out the live blog below.

Also, Brian from Railbird will be hosting a live call-in show on BlogTalkRadio from 10 to 11PM CST – that is also embedded in this post, so be sure to check them both out!

Tomorrow we get to relive one of the best rivalries in sports once again. If you talk to most Packer fans these days, the Vikings/Packers rivalry has started to become a little more heated than usual over the last few years (even aside from the “Purple Judas” drama of this year), but nothing will ever be able to compare with the Packers and Bears. Since their first meeting in 1921 to their last meeting in Week 1 of this season, the Packers and Bears rivalry has always run red-hot, and it is always in the debate of “best sports rivalries”, up there with Yankees/Red Sox and Ohio State/Michigan. Both teams this year are going in different directions at this point, but the records truly never matter when these two teams meet (forgive the cliche). I just want to throw out a few thoughts before the game tomorrow…

Don’t look ahead
The Packers control their destiny when it comes to the playoffs. They have been playing some very strong football and they can’t let their foot off the gas now. They need to (again, pardon the cliche) continue to focus on one game at a time and not worry about what the other teams in the race are doing. Plus, we all know this game is about a lot more than just the playoff race (especially since Chicago isn’t really in it) It is about bragging rights. Since Lovie Smith took over as Chicago’s head coach, he has never been swept by Green Bay in a season. That could change tomorrow.

Keep the pressure on Cutler
The defense picked off Cutler 4 times in their first meeting, and he hasn’t really gotten much better the rest of the season. The Packers D is the best at forcing turnovers and taking control of games and they will need to continue doing that.

Give me more Ahman Green!
Green has seemed to do a lot more with his limited opportunities than Grant has with his abundant ones, and I would love to see an established running game for once this year, so I really hope that McCarthy’s starts using Green (and even Jackson) a little bit more if Grant struggles.

You never know what Chicago team will show up, but you always know it will be a tough matchup. I think the Packers will be able to handle the Bears, and it should be fun to see Cutler struggle again.

Prediction: Packers 31, Bears 16
