The Bears take their longest road trip of the season, to play a real football match in Wembley Stadium. It's the end of an era for Donovan McNabb, and the beginning of an era in Minnesota and Denver. Outside of a few games, there are several lopsided match-ups on the Week 7 docket. Here's my take on how everything will shake out with my predictions, my juggernaut games of the week, and my "juggernot lames of the weak":

As poor as the Lions played, nobody in the Chicagoland thought the Bears had a snowball's chance in pulling that one out after the Lions went up 21-10. The offensive line was outmatched, and almost the entire defense failed to show up Monday night. From there, the rest just fell into place.
