It will be either the Saints or the Bears. That's why they play the game.
Like you say: Da Bears have some advantages, but they have some disadvantages, specifically - Grossman. Also, NO seems to have an offense that can spread the Chicago defense more than they are accustomed.
On the other hand, the Saints have no real post-season experience and are relying on a lot of rookie experience: Bush, Colston, and mostly: Coach Payton.
I'd like to see Da Bears win, because it's been a lot of years since they were in the big one, and it would be validation for guys like Urlacher and Coach Smith. But, I also kinda like the Cinderella story of a 3-13 team coming up with fresh blood after facing a lot of adversity (last season there was talk of the Saints closing up shop in NO and moving to LA or San Antonio). Either way, next week shapes up to be a great game for the NFC. (AFC too, but who cares about them?)

The bears will win, they have more post season expierence. better rookies!And the weather factor. that will make the running game slower . and if deuce is slow briggs will eat him alive while # 54 will be chomping on some nice tasty brees meat. the defence will pick it up and stop the saints from running ,the field is alot different than the field the saint are on also. like hassleback had trouble with wearing new cleats because he didnt have ones there were broken in for the bears field. even if the saints play a really good game their are to many factors going against them I am going to say that the score is 21-8 bears grossman throwing one 50 yard bomb to berrian. And benson getting one and the defence forceing bush to fumble.

My heart says Saints, but my wallet says Bears. I think the Saints are the new "America's Team". Their rush offense is better than Seattle's. Brees and the Saints passing attack is going to give the Bears defense some problems. Brees played in Purdue so should be used to playing in foul weather. It won't be a factor. I think the difference in the game will be how Grossman performs. He hasn't shown much consistency. If it's a shootout, I'll go with the Saints. If it's a slugfest, the Bears will win. They are more physical and it could be the most major factor is the game isn't in the Superdome. Score: BEARS 17, SAINTS 10.

Beginning of Season the Bears beat Seattle 37-6. This past game is was won in overtime score of 27-24. Do you really believe the Bears are the same team.
The Saints have improved and still improving as Bush matures.
This will be a lopsided game more like......
31-17
The Saints will score and take the lead first then the offensive will turn lose.
The last six games Saints outscore opponents by 147-63 not including the last game since non of the starting backfield played.
Ain't no way with your predictions.
Impossible.
The last six games Chicago played excluding Green Bay was 114-109.
Like I said the Bears defense was good beginning of season but its not the same.

I think the Saints will win. The bears have never faced a team like the Saints this year. It will test them like never before. The saints have incredible running backs, receivers, a solid offensive line and a great quarterback. They have a brilliant coach and a respectable defense.
The bears will get beat. They won't be able to deal with this kind of offense.
Saints 31 Bears 24

Da bears will win notwithstanding if that's going to likely be a variety close interest i think of that nathan vasher techniques urlacher and tank johnson will step up on protection and end reggie bush and on offence cedric bendson will run mind-blowing threw the saints r a sturdy group however the bears might desire to many human beings on deffence or offence and if rex starts to stink then they are in a position to allways put in techniques gresey and to not ignore with regards to the astounding specific teamsi propose hester will do great and robbie gould can kick from 50 yards away i propose did u see that kick in ot agaist the seahawks i think of he could make it from sixty 3 yards circulate make the saints pray because of the fact the monsters of the halfway r interior the homestead the bears will win 27-21

Your wrong about the Defense, but the weather might be a factor. The Bears barely beat seattle who barely beat Dallas so you do the math. Grossman will look gross under pressure. The Saints D will play good enough to win. The team who wants to win the most will win. Saints 24, Bears 20
