Could the Bears actually help the Saints attain the #1 Seed as in 2009?
Right, this year's Bears team is better than 09 Bears.
One similarity though is both matchups were divisional games. Records are less likely to matter in division games (and a reason we should still be cautious about our own matchup w/ CAR even if they are sitting some important people). Plus, the Packers are the Bears' most hated rival, so it's like a NOR/ATL thing. They'll fight each other tooth nail even if one team's 13-2 and the other's 2-13.
