Will Lovie Smith really play his starters against Green Bay?

I think he will definitely play his starters. Yes, they have a guaranteed bye, but, there is nothing the Bears like more than beating the Packers, and Lovie Smith takes the rivalry very seriously. There is nothing more the Bears would like than to knock the Packers out of the playoffs (granted the Giants have to win for that as well). The Bears would absolutely hate to play the Packers in the playoffs, so they probably want to try to keep them out as much as they can. I see the Bears going all-out this week.
