According to NFLWeather, temperatures could drop as low as 32 degrees during the game between the Bears and Packers. It will feel like 21 degrees. The cold is one thing, but the 31 mph wind gust could be a serious issue. That changes the air attack of both teams.
Both squads play in cold-weather cities, so the conditions are normal for them. It’s a matter of who can deal with it better and avoid mistakes.
One year ago, around this time, a Packers fan showed a bottle of water freezing soon after opening it. Green Bay is not new to this; they are true to it. Chicago is the same way.
The first two games came down to the wire. Green Bay took the first matchup 28-21. Chicago won game two after the Bears were down 16-6 late in the fourth quarter.
This third game will settle things once and for all.
