Snowflakes flew for the first time this week. Good thing I have my winter coat on. And my … who am I kidding? I never change.
Hopefully, the Bears do change this weekend. They’ve got the lowly Broncos in town, and the weather is finally turning into what Bears opponents hate to face. Unfortunately, the Denver Broncos are used to it already. So, forget that.
Maybe the Bears will actually stick to a game plan this week. Cedric Benson looked like a real-life running back last week against the Seahawks. The Broncos can’t stop any running back (hint, hint, Bears). I, however, can be stopped. So, here now, my picks.
