The Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears meet Sunday in NFL action from Soldier Field. Here’s a Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Bears vs Packers pick.
Green Bay Packers Betting Preview
Green Bay started out on a 2-2 run this year with losses to the Eagles and Vikings around wins versus the Colts and Titans. The Packers would then hit a win streak over the Rams, Cardinals, Texans and Jaguars before another loss to the Lions.
In the matchup with the rival Lions on November 3, the Packers gave up 17 points in the second quarter and eventually took a 24-14 loss. Jordan Love threw for 273 yards and an interception, while Jayden Reed led the receivers on five grabs for 113 yards.
Chicago Bears Betting Preview
Over on the Bears’ side, they lost two of their first three Games to the Colts and Texans. Chicago would hit a minor win streak versus the Rams, Panthers and Jaguars next. Since then it’s been losses to the CoMMAnders, Cardinals and Patriots, however.
Back on Sunday versus the Patriots, the Bears were down 13-3 by halftime and eventually lost 19-3. QB Caleb Williams put up 120 yards passing and D’Andre Swift led the rush on 59 yards. Keenan Allen caught five balls for 44 yards to top the receivers.
Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers Prediction
I’m going to lean toward the Packers. Green Bay shot themselves in the foot with 10 penalties in the Lions matchup. The offense couldn’t sustain drives either: the Pack went just 3-of-12 on third downs. On the other side, the defense wasn’t too bad, giving up 261 yards (137 passing) and 4-of-12 on third-down tries—but no takeaways.
As for the Bears, they’ve hit the skids over their last three Games. The Patriots matchup was especially ugly, as the Chicago offense could muster just 142 yards (69 passing), 2.4 yards per play, 11 first downs and an abysmal 1-of-14 rate on third-down tries. The Bears should make a soft landing for a Packers team in need of a good showing.
