December 21, 200817 yr comment_54345 Bear weather: The kickoff temperature the past two games at Soldier Field has been 19 degrees against the Jaguars and 28 degrees versus the Saints. But that probably will seem balmy Monday, when the high temperature in Chicago is expected to reach only seven degrees. The Bears have won nine straight home games when the kickoff temperature has been 32 degrees or lower. Those wins have come over the Jaguars and Saints this season, the Packers and Saints in 2007, the Vikings, Seahawks (divisional playoffs) and Saints (NFC championship) in 2006 and the Packers and Falcons in 2005. The Bears are 9-1 under coach Lovie Smith in such contests, only losing to the Texans in 2004. Report
December 21, 200817 yr comment_54348 That Texans game is something like the 28th coldest game ever. For Monday, wind chills are expected to be in the negative teens or early twenties. Thank God I sold my 3. Report

December 21, 200817 yr comment_54358 I keep thinking back to the Packers Patriots game I think last year lol. In a way I am glad I am not going. I would freeze. I am pussy in weather like that. Right now here in Rockford it is -4 without the wind chill and the wind is blowing probably around 40 mph. I am not to figure out what the weather is with the windchill. I just know that it is real damn cold. Report
