There are plenty of national NFL analysts who think the Chicago Bears have a strong chance to beat the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night.

ESPN's Dan Orlovsky isn't one of them.

The former pro quarterback appeared on "First Take" on Thursday to give his opinion on the wild-card matchup, and he expects the Packers to take it with ease:

The Bears are used to being doubted at this point, so this comes as little surprise. But bet against Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams, and the rest of this team at your own peril.

We've got home-field advantage, more offensive weapons, and we're even a little ticked off about letting the Lions steal that regular-season finale. You really think we're gonna let the Packers waltz into Soldier Field and beat us? In the playoffs?

Let's see what Dan has to say after Chicago moves on, and Green Bay heads home with another season-ending loss.
