    Packers vs Bears PLAYOFFS! Love's Biggest Test? - Weekly Wilde
    Jan 8 2026
    It’s Wild Card Weekend and the Packers–Bears rivalry is officially back — with everything on the line at Soldier Field. Alex Strouf and Jason Wilde break down the rare postseason matchup between Green Bay and Chicago, why this game feels personal after the Packers’ collapse in the last meeting, and the “quiet confidence” coming out of the locker room. They dive into Jordan Love’s playoff track record (and what he’s learned about avoiding hero ball), Josh Jacobs finally being healthy again, and the biggest swing factors: red-zone execution, turnovers, and whether Green Bay can hold up against Chicago’s run-heavy plan. Plus: special teams hidden threats, Jeff Hafley’s confidence, and what this result could mean for the Packers moving forward.

    Ep. 338 Packers vs Bears Playoffs: Stakes, Spreads, and Soldier Field Sweat
    Jan 7 2026
    It’s Packers vs Bears on Wild Card Weekend, and the nerves are already doing wind sprints. Alex Strouf kicks off the Wednesday edition of Mr. Irrelevant from the Gruber Law Offices studios with one mission: properly appreciate how massive this rivalry moment is, without immediately diving into full trash-talk mode (no promises). With Soldier Field looming, the crew digs into why this matchup feels like a true coin flip, how the betting line keeps bouncing, what the public money is doing, and why sportsbooks are always a little too happy to “help” you make a pick. Along the way: anxiety check-ins, realism vs optimism debates, Bears-fan chat invasions, and a truly unnecessary but hilarious cardigan sidebar, before circling back to the real question: what actually gives either team confidence heading into Saturday? Matt LaFleur Conversation: Why Packers fans shouldn’t be rooting for his firing and how his legacy ties to this rivalry moment. One Word Wednesday: We react to this week’s biggest headlines and storylines with just one word each. What We Missed: Our signature wrap-up segment highlighting the under-the-radar storylines and takes you might’ve overlooked from around the league.
