Five reasons why the Packers-Bears matters this week

1.Jay Cutler needs the victory to prove worthy of all the praise that Chicago fans and the media have thrown his way this offseason worthwhile. Remember, they liked Rex Grossman at one time, too.
2. It is one game in a six game roulette between the Packers, Bears and Vikings that could decide the division. Sorry, Lions, your position is decidedly last.
3. Over the last two seasons, the Bears have won three of the four matchups. They won those with teams that featured far less skill, but this time the sides will be close to even.
4. Do the Bears even have wide receivers on their roster? Sunday night would be a good time to find out.
5. With the talented running backs of the NFC North, Packers RB Ryan Grant seems to be the forgotten back. A big game against the Bears defense would be a big step towards changing that.
