LAS VEGAS — A confluence of critical factors will converge Sunday in Green Bay, Wisconsin, which might resemble Cape Agulhas off Cape Horn at the tip of Africa.
That’s where the Atlantic and Indian oceans collide into what sailors call “Cape of Needles,” a notorious hazard responsible for destroying more than 150 ships over the centuries.
The Bears might just as well call the Packers’ home the Bay of Needles, for the decades of pain the place and team have inflicted upon them and their fans.
Those who have been wise with their wagers, placing their heads — and wallets — way above their hearts, have profited.
