Chicago Bears 2020 Schedule: 3 games they’re destined to lose
By Ryan Heckman
Week 12 at Green Bay Packers
The weekend following Thanksgiving, we’ll have Bears football in prime time to be thankful for, among other things. It’s always great when you get to see the Bears play under the lights around the holidays. It’s a cherry on top of it all.

But, on this night, the Bears visit the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, and this is not a kind venue for Chicago.
The Bears have lost four straight at Lambeau Field and five of their last six. Not to mention, the Bears haven’t exactly been world beaters after the bye in recent years. This is their first game following their Week 11 bye week, and I simply don’t have any faith in this coaching staff and roster after a bye week.
Remember their bye week during the division championship season just two years ago? The Bears entered their bye week after seeing Mitchell Trubisky toss six touchdowns in an absolute trouncing versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Their next game, two weeks later, was an overtime loss on the road to the lowly Miami Dolphins, who were led by backup Brock Osweiler that day. It was an embarrassment.
This season, the Packers will be in the thick of the playoff race in all likelihood, and at home against the Bears, it just doesn’t seem like a game Green Bay loses. Would I love to beat the Packers on the road over Thanksgiving weekend? Absolutely.
Do I think it happens? Nope.
