Packers at Bears odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Packers 24, Bears 13
Money line
PASS even though Green Bay is obviously the right side here because the Packers (-250) is a little too rich for my blood.
Rodgers dominates the Bears and Chicago’s injury woes combined with rookie QB Justin Fields having more game film on him should help Green Bay’s defense in this spot.
Against the spread
Slight “LEAN” to the PACKERS -5.5 (-112) for a small bet if at all because of the aforementioned logic. There’s been “sharp line movement” towards Green Bay who opened up as a 4.5-point favorite.
We are getting the worst of the number and I much prefer the Under in this game than a side in Packers-Bears.
Over/Under
BET the UNDER 44.5 (-112) for 1 unit because there is “reverse line movement” in the Under’s direction.
Slightly more money is on the Over and nearly three-fourths of the bets placed are on the Over according to pregame.com, but the total has been lowered from the 46-point opener. It’s a red flag whenever you see sportsbooks make the more popular side cheaper.
Green Bay’s offense ranks 24th in neutral situation pace and Chicago’s offense ranks 28th in neutral situation pace, according to footballeroutsiders.com
The Packers are super reliant on Rodgers to WR Davante Adams magic and Chicago’s defense has held Adams in check recently.
Adams’ 61 targets are by far the most for any player on Green Bay’s offense with the next closest player being RB Aaron Jones out of the backfield with 19 targets. However, Adams has only surpassed 61 receiving yards once in his last four games against the Bears.
