Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Green Bay Packers (6-3) face the Chicago Bears (4-5) on Sunday in the first of 2 meetings in the final 8 games of the season. Kickoff from Soldier Field is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Packers vs. Bears odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

These NFC North rivals both have endured erratic QB play, but the Packers have survived Jordan Love‘s struggles with health more effectively. Caleb Williams has endured rookie struggles behind a weak Bears offensive line.

Green Bay comes into this important NFC North showdown after a 24-14 loss to the Detroit Lions last week that halted a 4-game win streak. Chicago lost its third straight contest in Week 10 (19-3 to the New England Patriots) and have looked bewildered since falling to a Washington Commanders last-second Hail Mary touchdown in Week 8.

Packers at Bears picks and predictions

Prediction

Packers 24, Bears 17

Moneyline

I would’ve thrown a sprinkle bet on the Bears if the moneyline were +300 or better. The current +200 is not elevated enough for me to care.

PASS.

Against the spread

Both squads are middling ATS (Chicago 4-4-1, Green Bay 4-5), but I’m going to side with Matt LaFleur’s Pack following a bye week against Matt Eberflus.

Lay the wood. BET GREEN BAY -5.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Even on the back of both teams’ rough QB play and uninspiring Over/Under records (Green Bay 4-4-1, Chicago 3-6), this matchup lines up to surpass what feels like a generous total.

Bettors should readily buy low that the talented skill players on each side will step up, especially the Packers’ crop coming out of their bye week.

BET OVER 40.5 (-110)

Chicago Bears at Arizona Cardinals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Chicago Bears at Arizona Cardinals odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Chicago Bears (4-3) are on the road in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals (4-4). Kickoff from State Farm Stadium is Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Bears vs. Cardinals odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Bears are coming off a heartbreaking 18-15 road loss to the Washington Commanders, failing to cover the 1-point spread as underdogs. After scoring a go-ahead touchdown with 25 seconds left in the game, Commanders QB Jayden Daniels threw a 52-yard Hail Mary TD pass as time expired. The loss snapped a 3-game winning streak.

The Cardinals won for the second straight week and third time in 4 games on Sunday. They beat the Miami Dolphins 28-27 as 4.5-point road dogs on a walk-off 34-yard field goal from K Chad Ryland, his third game-winning field goal in the final 2 minutes of a game in October.

Bears at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 23, Bears 20

Moneyline

The Bears have not allowed more than 21 points this season, but they also are winless on the road and haven’t scored more than 16 points in those games.

This game is when those scoring trends change.

The Bears are No. 4 in scoring defense, allowing 17.0 points per game. But their 1 weakness is against the run. They allowed 4.7 yards per attempt and the Cardinals average 5.2 when they run the ball.

The Cardinals have allowed 20 or more points 5 times this season.

I’m giving the edge to the home team, and because the Cardinals have a pair of 1-point wins in their last 4 games, the -125 odds aren’t too much of a difference to lose a bet over 1 point.

BET CARDINALS (-125).

Against the spread

All 3 of the Bears’ losses have been at least 3 points, but the Cardinals’ 2 wins by 1-point in their last 4 games makes me want to avoid the spread.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Bears haven’t allowed over 21 points all season and have not scored more than 16 on the road. Even surpassing those numbers slightly won’t get this game Over the projected total.

All 3 Chicago losses had 35 or fewer points.

BET UNDER 44.5 (-110).

The Chicago Bears (4-2) and Washington Commanders (5-2) face-off Sunday. Kickoff from Northwest Stadium is set for 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Bears vs. Commanders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Chicago had a bye last week after demolishisg the Jacksonville Jaguars 35-16 in London on Oct. 13. The Bears outgained Jacksonville (373 yards to 278) and forced 2 turnovers. QB Caleb Williams tossed in 4 TD passes as Chicago won its 3rd straight game and cover.

Washington mauled the Carolina Panthers 40-7 Sunday while covering as a 10.5-point favorite. QB Marcus Mariota completed 18-of-23 passes for 205 yards and 2 TDs after QB Jayden Daniels left in the first quarter with a rib injury. Daniels is a game-time decision.

Bears at Commanders picks and predictions

Prediction

Bears 28, Commanders 27

Moneyline

PASS.

Chicago will have the upper-hand if Daniels is unable to play, even though Mariota did play well vs. Carolina. Chicago has also been figuring things out offensively lately, which is something that should scare the Commanders whether Daniels is available to play or not.

If Daniels is available to play for Washington, then I would be fully backing the Commanders, which I recommend if Daniels is good to go. But you might not know that until right before kickoff.

Against the spread

BET COMMANDERS +1.5 (-110).

Washington has the better offense and is the more tested team as the Commanders have played much more difficult competition than Chicago. The Commanders are the better team and have been playing better throughout this season, so expect for Washington to fight here.

This bet gets even safer if Daniels plays and the line drop from Commanders +3 indicates his is likely to play. I would say to consider divvying up between the spread and ML if he is able to play.

Over/Under

BET OVER 43 (-110).

Both of these squads have solid rookie QBs and efficient offenses, and neither team is anything special defensively, so the Over is safe here.

The Over has also hit in 3 straight games for Chicago and is 4-1 in Washington’s last 5 games.

If Daniels doesn’t play, I would still lean Over, but not feel as strongly because a lot of Washington’s offensive dominance is because of Daniels and his dual-threat ability.

The Jacksonville Jaguars (1-4) battle the Chicago Bears (3-2) Sunday morning in London. Kickoff from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. ET (NFL Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Jaguars vs. Bears odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Jaguars picked up their first win of the season last week with a 37-34 victory over the Indianapolis Colts while failing to cover as 3.5-point home favorites. QB Trevor Lawrence went 28-of-34 for 371 yards with 2 touchdowns and an interception. On the ground, RB Tank Bigsby carried the ball 13 times for 101 yards and 2 TDs.

Chicago has won back-to-back games after dismantling Carolina 36-10 on Sunday and covering as a 4-point home favorite. QB Caleb Williams went 20-of-29 for 304 yards and 2 TDs, with his top receiver, WR DJ Moore, hauling in 5 receptions for 105 yards and 2 TDs.

Prediction

Bears 27, Jaguars 20

Moneyline

PASS.

While not by much the Bears (-120) spread has better odds.

Against the spread

BET BEARS -1 (-110).

Chicago’s offense has been clicking well recently with the return of WR Keenan Allen which has opened up the field for Williams and Moore. It has scored 24 or more points in back-to-back weeks and 3 of its 5 games this season. Against a struggling Jaguars team, which has allowed 20 or more points in 4 of its 5 games this season, expect the rookie QB to find success overseas on Sunday morning.

Over/Under

BET OVER 44.5 (-110).

The Bears have hit the Over in back-to-back weeks scoring a combined 60 points while their defense has allowed 17 or more points in 4 of their 5 games. With multiple cornerbacks sidelined for this week’s matchup, the Jaguars, who have scored 20 or more points in back-to-back weeks, will be able to score enough points to assist the Over.

Carolina Panthers at Chicago Bears odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Carolina Panthers at Chicago Bears odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Carolina Panthers (1-3) meet the Chicago Bears (2-2) for a Week 5 game at Soldier Field Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Panthers vs. Bears odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers scored a 36-22 win at Las Vegas in Week 3, the 1st game after benching QB Bryce Young to start QB Andy Dalton. The Panthers averaged 6.6 PPG in 2 games under Young, while going for 30.0 PPG in 2 games with Dalton at the helm.

RB Chuba Hubbard has rushed for over 100 yards with a TD in 2 straight, while WR Diontae Johnson has 205 receiving yards and 2 TDs in the past 2 games.

Carolina’s problems run beyond quarterback, as the defense has struggled, allowing 26 or more points in 3 of 4 games, while the Over is 3-1 on the season. The Panthers are just 1-3 against the spread (ATS).

The Bears picked up a 24-18 win over the LA Rams last week, and it improved to 2-1-1 ATS. The Over (40.5) just came in, ending a 3-0 run to the Under for Chicago.

No. 1 overall pick QB Caleb Williams, who was acquired in the now-infamous trade-up by Carolina to acquire Young, has thrown for 520 yards, 3 TDs and 2 INTs in the past 2 games.

Panthers at Bears picks and predictions

Prediction

Bears 27, Panthers 20

Moneyline

The Bears (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return, and that’s just a little too expensive for a standalone wager. If you were to include Chicago into a multi-leg parlay, backing the Bears as part of a parlay of 4 or more teams is certainly OK.

PASS on a straight-up wager, however.

Against the spread

The BEARS -4 (-110) are worth a look at home against the Panthers +4 (-110).

While Carolina will certainly be looking for some payback in this battle between trade partners, the Panthers defense has just been unable to stop anybody. Williams and the Chicago offense could run roughshod over the Carolina D, with very little resistance.

The Panthers have shown some signs of life with Dalton, Hubbard and Johnson, but the Bears are just a little stronger.

Over/Under

OVER 41 (-110) is worth a look, but don’t get carried away.

Chicago should be able to move the ball well for a 2nd straight week, as Carolina has had difficulty in the pass rush department. Williams will likely pick the Panthers apart, which will sting, given the history of the 2 organizations and how Carolina has its No. 1 overall pick sitting on the bench.

The Over hit for Chicago last week, and it looks to make it 2 in a row. Carolina has hit high in 3 of 4 games, including the past 2 outings.

LA Rams at Chicago Bears odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Week 4 features a matchup between 2 NFC teams looking to get back to .500 Sunday when the LA Rams (1-2) visit the Chicago Bears (1-2) at Soldier Field. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Rams vs. Bears odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Rams come into this game after stunning the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3, winning 27-24 at home after trailing 24-14 in the 4th quarter. It was the Rams’ 1st win of the season after losing to the Detroit Lions and Arizona Cardinals in the first 2 weeks. WR Puka Nacua and WR Cooper Kupp remain sidelined with injuries, so the Rams will once again be shorthanded on offense.

The Bears won their season opener against the Tennessee Titans but have lost their last 2 games since. Last week, they fell to the Indianapolis Colts at home despite QB Caleb Williams throwing for 363 yards and 2 touchdowns. Chicago is now 1-1-1 against the spread (ATS) and the total has gone Under in all 3 of its games.

Rams at Bears picks and predictions

Prediction

Rams 20, Bears 17

Moneyline

The RAMS (+135) come into this game with much more momentum than the Bears after upsetting the 49ers in Week 3. Chicago may have the same record, but that win against the Titans in the opener was ugly and the Rams could easily be 2-1 after losing in overtime to the mighty Lions.

Even as the road team, the Rams are a good bet to win outright simply because they have the better coach and the better quarterback. BET RAMS (+135).

Against the spread

If you want a little bit of insurance in case this game is close, you could take the Rams and the points in addition to the moneyline by splitting a unit between the 2 bets. But the Rams have looked like the better team and it’s not like they’ll be dealing with difficult conditions in Chicago compared to LA.

BET RAMS +3 (-110) as a safety net in addition to the ML.

Over/Under

The total has gone Under in each of the Bears’ first 3 games of 2024 and although the Over is 2-1 in Rams games this season, that number could be 1-2 if not for the Cardinals’ 41-point outburst in Week 2 and the Rams’ 13-point flurry in the final 6 minutes of their win over the 49ers.

The Bears defense is good and neither offense is exactly humming right now, so it could be a lower-scoring game where the Rams try to shorten it by running the ball and taking pressure off of QB Matthew Stafford.

BET UNDER 40.5 (-110).

The Indianapolis Colts (0-2) welcome the Chicago Bears (1-1) to Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday for NFL Week 3 action. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Bears vs. Colts odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Colts, who won and covered 2 of 3 games in the preseason, opened their season with a 29-27 home loss to the Houston Texans, covering as a 3-point underdog. They then traveled to Green Bay and lost 16-10 the Packers, closing as a 2.5-point favorite. Indianapolis is 1-1 against the spread (ATS) and 1-1 O/U. It is led by QB Anthony Richardson, but he has 4 interceptions through 2 games.

The Bears, who had 4 preseason games, won and covered in each of those. They continued that into Week 1 and won 24-17 at home against the Tennessee Titans, covering as a 4-point home favorite. Chicago followed that up with a 19-13 Week 2 road loss to the Texans, pushing as a 6-point underdog.

Bears at Colts picks and predictions

Prediction

Colts 20, Bears 13

Moneyline

BET COLTS (-115).

The Colts have the more proven roster and have multiple versatile weapons on the roster. It starts with the quarterback, and Richardson is more proven than Williams.

Williams has a 56.1% completion rate, and no Bears player has more than 60 rushing yards. They haven’t moved the ball well and should continue to struggle, especially without Allen. Richardson should be able to get right after struggling against a quality Packers defense.

The Colts have the better, more proven playmakers and should be able to escape with a win. Back COLTS (-115).

Against the spread

PASS.

There’s no great value here as compared to the moneyline. Play either option, but the preferred route is to take the risk out of the equation and back the Colts to win outright.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 43.5 (-110).

The Bears are 0-2 O/U and are averaging just 18.5 points per game. They did scored 24 against the Titans, and 21 of those points came in the final 2 quarters. Both were either defensive or special teams. The Bears can’t move the ball.

The Colts are averaging just 18.5 points per game as well and are 1-1 O/U. Richardson has the talent but hasn’t put it together yet this season. Don’t expect either young quarterback to have a breakout game Sunday. Back UNDER 43.5 (-110).

Chicago Bears at Houston Texans odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Chicago Bears at Houston Texans odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago Bears (1-0) pay a visit to the Houston Texans (1-0) on Sunday Night Football. Kickoff from NRG Stadium is set for 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC/Peacock). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Bears vs. Texans odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Chicago pulled off a 24-17 comeback win over the Tennessee Titans Sunday while covering as a 4-point favorite. The Bears’ offense failed to score a TD, but thanks to TDs by both the special teams and the defense, the Bears pulled off the win. Rookie QB Caleb Williams struggled in his debut, throwing for only 93 yards on 14-of-29 passing.

Houston narrowly escaped with a 29-27 win over the Indianapolis Colts Sunday while failing to cover as a 3-point favorite. RB Joe Mixon shined with 159 rushing yards and 1 TD on 30 carries in his Texans debut. WR Nico Collins also caught 6 passes for 117 yards.

Bears at Texans picks and predictions

Prediction

Texans 31, Bears 14

Moneyline

PASS.

The Texans will win here as -275 favorites, but the line is set too heavily to risk betting on. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET TEXANS -6.5 (-110).

With both Odunze and Allen banged up, Chicago will be missing 2 key weapons offensively. Pair that with how terrible Chicago’s offensive line and offense as a whole looked, and you see that Chicago will not even have enough offensively to make this a game.

The Bears also allowed the Titans to run all over them last week, and this is a Texans team that just showed how good its rushing attack can be, so this looks like a recipe for disaster for the Bears.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 46.5 (-110).

Chicago failed to score an offensive TD in Week 1 and accumulated just 148 total yards of offense, and with key pieces potentially being out for this game, the Bears’ offense should look even worse.

Houston has a dynamic offense that can put up points, but I do not expect the Titans to be able to score enough to carry this game to hit the Over.

Tennessee Titans at Chicago Bears odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Tennessee Titans at Chicago Bears odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Tennessee Titans and Chicago Bears open their seasons at Soldier Field Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Titans vs. Bears odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Bears, who won all 4 of their preseason games, will have No. 1 overall pick QB Caleb Williams under center. WR Keenan Allen was another key offseason addition, joining the team after a lengthy stint with the LA Chargers. Chicago finished last season 7-10 and were 8-7-2 against the spread (ATS). It was 4-2-2 ATS at home.

The Titans had a similar preseason story, winning all 3 games. They scored at least 16 points in each and gave second-year QB Will Levis a good amount of drives. The Titans also beefed up their offense this season by adding RB Tony Pollard and WR Calvin Ridley. Tennessee finished last season 6-11 and were 7-9-1 ATS.

Titans at Bears picks and predictions

Prediction

Bears 24, Titans 14

Moneyline

PASS.

The Bears (-196) are just too expensive to play here, and the Titans, without Adams, aren’t worth the upset play either. Avoid a moneyline bet in this one.

Against the spread

BET BEARS –3.5 (-118).

The Titans will be without their starting safety and don’t have a great offensive line set to protect Levis — their offensive line ranks 26th in the NFL, according to ActionNetwork.com.

Sweat has had at least 6 sacks in 3 straight seasons and should be able to hurry up Levis, who wasn’t impressive a season ago. Williams looked good in preseason and has a far higher ceiling. Expect the rookie to put on a show, and take BEARS –3.5 (-118).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 44.5 (-106).

While Williams should outplay Levis, neither quarterback has really proven themselves at the NFL level. Williams looked good in preseason, but that was against backup defenses. Levis had a 58.4% completion rate last season, which won’t sustain drives well.

Given both teams have an offensive line ranked in the bottom half of the NFL, the defensive lines should feast, suggesting limited lengthy drives. With that in mind, take UNDER 44.5 (-106).
