Bears-Packers: You Pick It, You Win It (And By 'It,' We Mean a Tote Bag)!

The big game is just five days away.

The Bears and Packers, facing off in the playoffs for the first time in seven decades, since the very year the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and Joe DiMaggio got a hit in 56 straight games. The future is Sunday.

It's undeniable -- this is a Great American Moment. At least in the Midwest. And if you care at all about the Bears or the Packers.

But if you do care and you are here, what better way to commemorate this unforgettable chapter of history than by winning your very own limited edition Patch tote bag?

To win the bag, correctly guess the winner and final score of Sunday's NFC Conference Finals showdown. Then e-mail your prediction to me no later than noon on Sunday.

If you get the score right, you get a tote bag. I'd give away more, but I'm out of water bottles and everything else. So it's a tote bag or nothing. Send an address in with your guess so I can drop the prize off in the mail.

In the event of a tie, I will give out as many tote bags I can until I have none left.

If no one gets the correct score, I'll figure out who came closest through a secret equation. And if no one even comes close, I might not give anything away at all.

At any rate, I'm picking the Bears, 17-9. Not that it matters, because they are just going to lose to the Jets anyway.
