Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears Preview & Picks

Chicago are tipped to avenge the Week 14 defeat to the Packers.

The Bears have been on a roll over the past couple of months, and can take advantage of a Green Bay team that is missing Micah Parsons and could be without Christian Watson.

  • Chicago Bears are 10-2 in their last 12 games
  • Chicago Bears have won 5 consecutive home games
  • The Over cashed when the two teams last met on December 7
  • The Over has hit in 6 of Green Bay’s 7 road games this season

Head To Head

  • Green Bay Packers lead the all-time series 109-96-6
  • Green Bay Packers won 28-21 when the two teams last met on December 7

Green Bay Packers Form

Green Bay enter this matchup having seen a four-game winning run end last weekend, costing them top spot in the NFL North.

The Packers opened the season with back-to-back wins, including an important home victory over Detroit, only to then fail in their next two outings as they lost one and tied the other.

They responded with three consecutive wins, backing up a 27-18 home win over Cincinnati with road wins at Arizona, 27-23, and Pittsburgh, 35-25, but stumbled in early November.

Green Bay dropped back-to-back games at home, losing 16-13 to Carolina and 10-7 to Philadelphia.

The Packers’ response was strong though, as they beat the New York Giants 27-20, Minnesota 23-6, Detroit 31-24 and Chicago 28-21, before seeing their streak end with a 34-26 loss in Denver.

Chicago Bears Form

Chicago are once again top of the NFC North, having won 10 of their previous 12 games to take their record to 10-4.

The Bears lost their first two games of the season in ugly fashion, but rallied with a 31-14 home win over Dallas, before going out on the road to record last-gasp 25-24 wins at Las Vegas and Washington.

They made it four-in-a-row with a 26-14 win over New Orleans, before rebounding from a 30-16 defeat to Baltimore with thrilling victories against Cincinnati, 47-42, the New York Giants, 24-20, and Minnesota, 19-17.

Chicago’s run continued as they downed Pittsburgh 31-28, and reached five games as they dominated the defending Super Bowl champions, Philadelphia, winning 25-14 on the road.

The Bears’ streak was finally snapped by a 28-21 loss at Green Bay, but they responded in emphatic fashion with a 31-3 demolition of Cleveland.

Verdict

Losing Micah Parson is a gigantic blow for Green Bay and a huge boost for Chicago.

The Bears do have injury issues of their own, but they are a team with plenty of momentum and they have been strong at home this season, so we are backing them to get their revenge for that late loss in Lambeau.
