This Sunday marks the 206th time the Bears have played the Green Bay Packers.
- Both teams are underperforming this year, but the winner of this intense rivalry will become the franchise with the most NFL regular season wins of all time.
- Today we turn to Axios CEO Jim VandeHei — who grew up in Oshkosh rooting for the Packers — for Wisconsin tailgate picks to help us eat the Cheeseheads' lunch.
First course: "Start with charcoal-grilled Johnsonville brats. Boil them and then bathe them in Point beer. Add onions."
Second course: "Deep-fried cheese curds."
- "These sound worthy: Hickory bacon curds from Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery in Ellsworth. They've won championship cheese contests."
Third course: "Wash it down with some beer cheese soup and a side of Spotted Cow."
- "It's nutritious and delicious."
As for the game, Jim is hoping his Packers make a run despite Aaron Rodgers' rib injury.
- The Bears, on the other hand, are now playing to lose — which would mean better draft picks next year.
