The Chicago Bears are looking to stamp their ticket to the playoffs with a victory over the Green Bay Packers in the final week of the regular season.
While the Bears can still get into the playoffs without a win — if the Arizona Cardinals lose to the Los Angeles Rams — it would certainly be sweeter to get to the postseason by beating the Packers.
Chicago is coming off a 41-17 rout of the Jacksonville Jaguars, where the Bears offense put up 30 points for the fourth straight game. Chicago’s offense has been rolling over the last five weeks, and they’re going to need another strong performance if they’re going to have a shot at beating Green Bay.
Despite the Bears’ impressive offense and three-game win streak, there’s still not a lot of confidence in Chicago heading into this game as 93% of experts are picking the Bears to lose to the Packers on Sunday, according to NFL Pick Watch.
It’s not exactly a surprise that so many are picking Green Bay to beat Chicago, especially given the Packers’ dominance in this rivalry over the last couple of decades. Since 1992, Green Bay is 43-15 against Chicago, including 20-4 since 2009.
Can the Bears stun the football world with a win over the Packers? Or will Green Bay continue its dominance over Chicago?
We’ll see Sunday when the Bears and Packers kick things off at 3:25 p.m. CT on FOX.
