New Year's Eve with a classic rivalry: The Chicago Bears take on their division rivals, the Green Bay Packers!

Great News! Santa was good to me this year, and I'm excited to be attending the Bears New Year's Eve bash.

Top 10 Reasons for Bears Game Changing to NBC Prime Time:

10) Flexible scheduling
9) Possibly Brett's last game
8) The Packers have a good chance to be playing for a playoff berth
7) What better way to end the year with Sunday night football in Chicago
6) Games Protected - Falcons and Eagles (Fox) and the Raiders and Jets (CBS)
5) Denver has already made 6 prime-time appearances - maximum allowed for one season
4) Bears are in the playoffs; their biggest rival game against the Packers
3) The Bears are 4-0 in prime-time games this season
2) 4 of Devin Hester's 6 kick return TDs have come in the Bears' 4 prime-time games this season.

And the #1
- Given the other NFL cities- Chicago was the best place to celebrate New Years Eve 2007!




I'm looking forward to Brett Favre playing his last game at Soldier Field, which is adding more lure to the game. I think sending him off with a Bears malling as a retirement gift would be fitting.

I hope that the Bears don't take a ho-hum approach, since they have already locked up home field advantage through the NFC playoffs.

A clean sweep: With a win Sunday night over the Packers, the Bears would become just the fourth team since the NFL/AFL merger in 1970 to sweep its conference opponents in a season.

Like the ’85 Bears, the only other teams who have swept their conference opponents—the 1972 Miami Dolphins and the 1984 San Francisco 49ers—also won Super Bowl titles.
