The Home Opener at Soldier Field!  Chucky will be bringing in his Buccaneers.  Hopefully we will see flashbacks of the NFC Central days when the Bears regularly embarrassed Tampa Bay .  The Bears are 35-17 all time against Tampa and have won 5 of the last 7.  read more

Sunday Night Football under the lights!  The best thing about night games.....is the longer Tailgate Parties!!  Last year the Bears waited until the last drive of the game to beat the Eagles.  That win snapped a streak of 7 straight Eagle wins over the Bears.  This year Chicago will be looking to start a winning streak of their own. read more

Former Chicago Bears player and assistant coach Jeff Fisher will bring the Titans into Chicago .  The defense will have to contain Vince Young if they want to extend our winning streak over Tennessee to 4 games in a row.

A Florida team comes to Chicago in December.  I sure hope it is cold out - - - then I can break out my secret family recipe for Hard Hot Cocoa!  The Bears and Jags have only played four times, with each team winning twice.  The Jags should be in the hunt for the playoffs and this game could be a key game to measure where the Bears stand.  *This game is subject to flexible scheduling (i.e. it could get moved from noon to 3:15 or 7:15).

Just four days after our last Tailgate Party, we will do it again for a special Thursday Night Football game against the Saints.  This will be our first limited Tailgate Party (only open to people that have Tailgated with us before).  The Bears have done well against New Orleans in the past couple December games - - - especially the NFC Championship Game win that sent us to Super Bowl 41.

Monday Night Football!  Green Bay Packers!!  Brett Favre or Aaron Rogers???  The final home game of the regular season.  The Bears are 90-79-6 in this great rivalry.  This game will also be a limited Tailgate Party. read more
