The Green Bay Packers (4-8) visit the Chicago Bears (3-9) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Packers vs. Bears odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
After Aaron Rodgers was injured on Monday, Jordan Love almost rallied the Packers to a victory, coming up just short in the 40-33 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite Rodgers dealing with a broken thumb and injured ribs, he is still planning to start in Chicago. And why not? In his career against the Bears, Rodgers in 25-10 with 63 TDs and 10 INTs.
The Bears, after losing 31-10 to the New York Jets in a rainstorm last week, will get QB Justin Fields back in this game. This will go a long way in helping them as his rushing ability has been a key to their offense and the Packers allow 154.7 yards per game on the ground.

Packers at Bears picks and predictions
Prediction
Packers 33, Bears 31
Moneyline
PASS.
If you like the Bears to win, the +180 is a suitable number. But if you think the Packers will win, the -210 is a little too high to wager on. This will be a close game, and anything can happen this season. I would rather use the spread as a buffer for either side I am on.
Against the spread
BET BEARS +4.5 (-111).
When this game opened at -4, I liked the Packers with Rodgers back and the uncertainty around Fields. Now that Fields has been practicing and is expected back, I like the Bears to cover this number.
Fields just set the record with 174 rushing yards in a game by a QB. The Packer’s defense is vulnerable against the run. Fields and David Montgomery should have a wonderful day in Chicago, and they will keep it close. BEARS +4.5 (-111) is my FAVORITE PLAY in this game.
Over/Under
BET OVER 45 (-110).
The Packers are coming off a 33-point output against the Eagles last Sunday night. The Bears, although only scoring 10 points without Fields on Sunday, are coming off a 4-game stretch in which they scored no less then 24 points.
While defense is going to be optional in this game. This number will really be determined if Rodgers and Fields are truly healthy. If they are, this game easily hits the Over. If fields or Rodgers needs to come out, this could go sideways. They are both healthy enough and I like the OVER 45 (-110).
