As it stands at the moment, the Packers are one of the elite teams in the league and can easily challenge for the championship, while the Bills are just trying to get their bearings and hope that the current campaign will not end poorly.

Their head-to-head statistics also show that the Packers have moved forward and broadened the gap between the two teams as Green Bay have won eight of their last nine meetings.

For Chicago, Jay Cutler will still be the presence at the quarterback position. While he may be unpopular with some of the Bills faithful, he is one of their best players on the team.

Rookie Kevin White was expected to help the team but he is currently recovering from an injury.

Other wideouts such as Alshon Jeffrey, Marquess Wilson and Eddie Royal are also nursing knocks and may play but will not be as effective as they are at 100%.

That leaves running back Matt Forte and Cutler to shoulder the offensive load for Chicago and that may be too much to ask especially against a loaded Green Bay squad.

For the Packers, there is MVP Aaron Rodgers who is looking to add another impressive season under his belt. However, they will surely miss the services of Jordy Nelson who is out for the season due to injury.

Green Bay will miss Nelson's output but they still have capable players who can carry the team. Randall Cobb is expected to return after an injury to his shoulder and that is a big boost for the squad.

Despite Green Bay being favored heavily, this should be an entertaining match. For live scores and updates, go to Yahoo! For live streaming, click here.
