| (MySportsbook) - If there is one thing -- and there weren't many -- that the Seattle Seahawks wanted to duplicate from their surprisingly playoff-worthy 7-9 regular season, it was a well-executed road victory over the Chicago Bears in October. Back in Week 6, the Seahawks took advantage of a Bears team in flux and recorded a 23-20 victory at Solider Field with a simple formula: they pressured Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler to the tune of six sacks and scored just enough points to win.

| (MySportsbook) - It doesn't get much better than this. The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears. For a chance to represent the NFC in Super Bowl XLV. The game will be played this Sunday at Solider Field -- the legendary home of the Bears -- but the Packers probably could care less. Green Bay is coming off consecutive playoff road wins at Philadelphia and Atlanta and just embarrassed the Falcons this past Saturday in a Divisional Playoff at the Georgia Dome to set up a classic conference championship matchu |

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) - From the moment he was hired, Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith made it clear the goals were to beat Green Bay, win the division and win the Super Bowl. Beating Green Bay to get to the Super Bowl? Well, that's an added bonus. ``The first thing (chairman) Michael McCaskey went over when I came here to interview for the job was to make sure I knew about the rivalry,'' Smith said Monday. ``He let me know a little bit about it then, too. Believe me, we know exactly how we're suppose |

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - As far as Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings is concerned, the most challenging thing about the Chicago Bears' home-field advantage might be the field itself. Jennings isn't a fan of the grass at Soldier Field, calling it ``probably the worst'' in the NFL. Jennings noticed Seattle receivers slipping as chunks of the field came up during the Seahawks' playoff loss in the snow at Chicago, and says the Packers will have to pay close attention to their footing in Sunday's N |

CHICAGO (AP) - Cheeseheads, get ready for the Monsters of the Midway. As if the league's oldest rivalry needed an extra kick, Jay Cutler and the Chicago Bears gave it a big one by beating the Seattle Seahawks 35-24 in a divisional playoff game Sunday. That means they'll host Green Bay in the NFC championship game. That's right, it's Packers and Bears again, only this time, a spot in the Super Bowl is at stake. ``I'm sure there's going to be a lot of hype around this game building up to it,'' Chicago |

| NFL's most historic rivalry just got a lot hotter. Even before they boarded the team plane back to Green Bay after Saturday night's rout of the Atlanta Falcons, Packers players were pondering the possibility they might face their fierce rival, the Chicago Bears, in the NFC championship game. ``For us to be playing the Bears next week, that would be something,'' Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings said. ``But we'll see.''

George Halas and Vince Lombardi would be proud. Two of the NFL's most storied franchises are taking their rivalry to a whole new level next weekend when the Chicago Bears host the Green Bay Packers for a spot in the Super Bowl. The Bears cruised into the NFC championship game Sunday, beating up the Seattle Seahawks 35-24 at snowy Soldier Field. The night before, Green Bay advanced with a stunning 48-21 rout of top-seeded Atlanta. This will be the 182nd meeting in their 90-year-old series, but perhap |

| AP) - A week after knocking off the defending Super Bowl champs, Matt Hasselbeck and the Seattle Seahawks played more like a team with a losing record than a division winner. Little went right for the Seahawks on a wintry day at Soldier Field. The Chicago Bears took control early and sent first-year coach Pete Carroll and the NFC West champs - the only team in the playoffs with a losing record - home by a 35-24 score.

CHICAGO (AP) - Middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu is active for the Seattle Seahawks' divisional playoff game against the Chicago Bears and expected to start. Tatupu was questionable after suffering a concussion in the fourth quarter of last Saturday's 41-36 upset of New Orleans on a hard collision with the Saints' Julius Jones. He went through a practice without helmets or pads on Friday and got medical clearance in time for Sunday's game. The Seahawks had no lineup changes. The same goes for the Bears, |
