The Chicago Bears need a win on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers to keep their playoff hopes alive. If they want to accomplish that, it's going to come down to how well Mitchell Trubisky plays. When these two teams played to kick off the season, Trubisky couldn't lead the Bears into the end zone, resulting in a 10-3 loss.
So what Trubisky is going to show up in this game? Let's breakdown three bold predictions for Trubisky's performance in Lambeau Field.
3. Mitchell Trubisky has at least two head-scratching moments
It doesn't seem to matter how well Trubisky plays; there are still one or two plays a game that makes everyone wonder precisely what he is thinking.
In the Bears' last game, Trubisky threw for 244 yards and three touchdowns. He also had an interception that could have been easily avoided if he just threw the ball out of bounds instead of throwing it right to Jourdan Lewis.
In this game, there are going to be two of those moments with at least one of them ending with an interception. He is going to have a chance to make an easy throw and will overshoot his receivers by a lot.
2. Trubisky throws three touchdowns
Early in the season, many believed the Packers had a good defense. Perhaps a lot of that had to do with Trubisky more than the Packers defense. The Packers' defense overall isn't good, and Trubisky is going to take advantage of that. On the season, the Packers are giving up 245.1 yards per game, which is 21st in the league.
In this game, Trubisky is going to air it out, and the touchdowns for the Bears are going to be via his arm. Look for Trubisky to throw three touchdowns in this game.
1. Trubisky outduels Aaron Rodgers
This might be more of a reflection on the Bears' running game compared to the Packers' running game, but for the Bears to have success, it's going to take Trubisky passing the ball. The first time these two teams played, Rodgers threw for 203 yards and a touchdown.
In this game, Rodgers shouldn't finish much higher than the first time they played, and Trubisky's stats are going to be a lot better. That might not be enough to lead the Bears to a victory, but it is going to be enough for Trubisky to keep his job as the starting quarterback for next season.
