Grant runs Pack past Bears
Football Betting Lines
11/16/2008 - Green Bay, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ryan Grant ran for 145 yards and a touchdown as the Green Bay Packers crushed the Chicago Bears, 37-3, in an NFC North battle at Lambeau Field.
Aaron Rodgers was an efficient 23-for-30 with 227 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while Greg Jennings and Donald Lee each caught a touchdown for the Packers (5-5), who snapped a two-game slide.
Kyle Orton, who missed last week's loss to Tennessee with an ankle injury, went just 13-for-26 with 138 yards and lost a fumble for the Bears (5-5), who have dropped their past two games. Matt Forte had 64 yards on 16 carries in the loss.
Coupled with Minnesota's loss to Tampa Bay on Sunday, the NFC North now has a three-way tie for first place between Chicago, Minnesota and Green Bay.
After the teams exchanged punts to start the game, Green Bay went on a scoring drive to take the lead. An eight-play, 73-yard drive was capped on a three- yard touchdown pass from Rodgers to Jennings for a 7-0 lead with 2:28 left in the first.
Chicago answered with a march of its own that spanned the first and second quarters and was finished with a 35-yard field goal from Robbie Gould to cut the deficit to 7-3 with 12:12 left in the first half.
Rodgers was intercepted deep in Chicago territory on the Packers' next touch, but the Green Bay defense held Chicago to a three-and-out.
Seven plays later, Grant punched the ball into the end zone from four yards out to give the Packers a 14-3 lead with just 1:11 left in the second.
Green Bay wasn't done scoring, though. After forcing Chicago to punt, the team got into field goal range and got a 53-yard field goal from Mason Crosby to make it a 17-3 game going into the locker room.
The Pack made it a three-touchdown game in the third quarter as Rodgers found Lee in the end zone from five yards out to make it a 24-3 game with 3:01 left in the third.
In the fourth quarter, a 33-yard field goal from Crosby, a 53-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown by Jason Hunter and a 45-yard field goal from Crosby accounted for the final score.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
