Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears Preview & Picks

Chicago are tipped to cover as a slight favorite as they advance in the playoffs.

The Bears’ “bend but don’t break” defense can limit Green Bay scoring, while the offense makes enough key plays down the stretch to take down the injury-hit Packers.

  • Chicago Bears are 3-1-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings
  • Green Bay Packers are 6-10-1 ATS in their 17 games
  • The Under has cashed in 3 of Chicago’s previous 4 games
  • The Under hit when the two teams last met on December 20

Head To Head

  • Green Bay Packers lead the all-time series 109-97-6
  • Chicago Bears won 22-16 in overtime when the two teams last met on December 20

Green Bay Packers Form

Green Bay lose their final four games of the regular season, but a 9-7-1 record was enough to land them the final spot in the playoffs.

The Packers entered November in a strong position after going 5-1-1 through their first seven games, but they stumbled in early November with back-to-back defeats at home.

They rebounded on the road though, winning 27-20 at the New York Giants, and they backed that up by beating Minnesota 23-6, Detroit 31-24 and Chicago 28-21.

Green Bay failed to make it five-in-a-row though, losing 34-26 in Denver, and that proved to be the start of a four-game skid.

The Packers collapsed late to lose 22-16 in overtime in Chicago, before falling 41-24 at home to Baltimore and 16-3 on the road at Minnesota.

Chicago Bears Form

Chicago dropped their final two games of the regular season, but with an 11-6 record they clinched the NFC North title and the number two seed.

The Bears endured a nightmare start as they dropped back-to-back division games to start the season, but they responded to that early adversity with a four-game win streak.

They then bounced back from a 30-16 defeat in Baltimore with a string of dramatic wins that saw them beat the New York Giants 24-20, Minnesota 19-17 and Pittsburgh 31-28.

Chicago made it five-in-a-row as they dominated Philadelphia in a 24-15 victory on the road, and then bounced back from a 28-21 loss in Green Bay with home wins over Cleveland, 31-3, and the Packers, 22-16.

The Bears have not won since though, following up a 42-38 loss at San Francisco with a 19-16 loss at home to Detroit.

Verdict

Chicago dropped a stinker in their regular season finale, but they have tended to rebound from rough results pretty quickly this season.

The Bears have home advantage and are facing a Packers team missing some key pieces, so we expect a response from the home team here.
