I am not one to make guarantees.  That's more of a New York Jets thing, but I think that there are several reasons to be extremely positive if you're a Bears fan.   

The so called NFL experts will tell you that the Bears are going to lose in the next round, and that if they are going to win that it'd be because of a Herculean effort by their defense.  I'm not denying that the Bears defense will not be a substantial factor in a possible Super Bowl title run, but that's not the X-factor. 

The X-factors are:

They've beaten both the Packers and the Jets - Out of the three remaining teams that the Bears have played this season, the Bears have defeated the Jets once and split with the Packers.  As Meatloaf said, "Two out of three ain't bad."

Lack of respect - It's all about the facts... 

Fact:  The Bears are hosting the NFC Championship game against the Packers. 

Fact:  They have won one more game than the Packers this year.

Fact:  The two teams have each won a game in their series this year.  The Bears won a close one in Chicago and the Packers won a close one in Green Bay.

Fact:  The odds makers already have the Packers listed as a 3 point favorite.

Fact:  It is well known in gambling circles that the home team gets three points toward the spread.

What is the unmistakable conclusion? 

It's that the Bears are being looked at as being 6 points worse than the Packers.  Why?  It's a blatant lack of respect.  This makes Brain Urlacher and Julius Peppers very angry.

The Bears beat the Packers handily last time that they met them in the playoffs - Look it up.

It's called the Halas trophy - The NFC Championship is called the Halas trophy in the honor of the great Bear's coach George S. Halas.  The Packers are screwed.  Some of you might retort that the Super Bowl trophy is called the Lombardi trophy in honor of the Packer's coach Vince Lombardi.  Let me tell you why that is:

George Halas is the winningest coach of all time and yet the Super Bowl trophy is named after Lombardi.  Why?  It's because the first two Super Bowls were called the NFL - AFL Championship at the time.  The Packers, who were coached by Lombardi then, won them and later they were referred to as the first two Super Bowls and the trophy was called the Lombardi trophy.  Lombardi was the winningest coach of that decade.  If the trophy were named now it would be the Bellichick trophy and in the 80's it would have been the Walsh trophy.  Lombardi was a damned good coach but Hallas was the best.  Look it up.

Jay Cutler - I didn't get it.  I didn't get the Rex Grossman thing and I didn't get the Jay Cutler thing either, but I'm starting to get it.  Rex was either really good or really bad and that got the Bears to the Super Bowl.  Jay is even more extreme.  He either looks like a Pee-Wee league QB or a world beater.  Look at the game against the Seahawks.  He threw for two touchdowns and ran for two touchdowns.  Do you know how many other times this has happened in the history of the NFL playoffs?  Once.  Otto Graham did it.  Look it up.  Any time you are mentioned at the same time as the great Otto Graham, that's something.  What I'm saying is that if Rex was erratic enough to lose the Super Bowl that Jay is erratic enough to possibly win it...

 or lose the next game by fourty points.  Who knows?

It's been a strange year - The Patriots lost to the Browns earlier in the year only to go on to dominate the entire league and post a 14-2 record.  One of their dominant wins was 45-3 against the Jets.  They were eliminated by the Jets last week. 

Strange.

Also this year, the Seahawks won their division at 7-9.  They went on to defeat the Super Bowl champions.

Strange.

How stange would it be if the Bears, who lost a game earlier in the year in which they gave up seven sacks in the first half to a team that didn't even make the playoffs went on to win the Super Bowl? 

Very strange, and it would fit in perfectly with how things have gone this year.

In conclusion, I'm not saying that the Bears are going to win the Super Bowl, but there are definitely a lot of X- Factors in their favor. 

Bear down Chicago Bears.  Bear down.

I think a Jets vs Bears Superbowl would be great this year. Both teams seem to not recieve the respect they deserve.

If it's the Jets and the Bears, I'm not even going to watch. Not only would that game be boring as all get out, but Green Bay and Pittsburgh are my two favorite teams.

Yeah, it would be boring.

That 38-34 game between the Bears and Jets this season was a real snooze fest.

Sorry, but I think Aaron Rodgers vs. the Pittsburgh defense is a more exciting matchup than who's more annoying:

Jay "I got picked by DeAngelo Hall 4 times, but I'm still gonna throw his way" Cuter vs. Bart "You disrespectin' us. WHY YOU DISRESPECTIN' US?" Scott.

You're entitled to your opinion, but Jay has Otto Graham on his side and Rex Ryan is far more annoying than any of his players in my opinion. 

I think that the Steelers win way too much, and the Packers are well...

the Packers.

They need to beat the best team in Football right now first.

Explain to me why everyone says this?

The Packers were the sixth seeded team in the NFC (split with the Bears and won one less game then them as I stated in the OP). 

I am a Bears fan, but if I were to be asked who the best remaining team is, I'd have to say the Steelers.  They are by far the most balanced team.  

The top 2 teams have been beaten already which tell you something. The Packers are hot, the Jets are Hot. 

This was my favorite!
