Who Wins?

Chicago is 4-1 SU in their last five games played. The Bears are 3-3 SU in six road games played this season, and 4-1 SU in their last five games against the NFC Conference. Green Bay is 7-2 SU in their last nine games played. The Packers are 6-1 SU in their last seven games played at home. Head to head, Green Bay is 8-2 SU in their last 10 games played against Chicago. The Packers are also 9-2 SU in their last 11 home games against the Bears.

The path to the playoffs isn’t an easy one for the Bears. First of all, Chicago needs to win out their remaining games and then they need the help of some teams. It’s a longshot really, but after going 3-5, the Bears have won four out of their last five. Trubisky is coming off a promising outing against the Cowboys and the Bears are still in it.

The Packers offense hasn’t been as bad as the Bears’ but they have been inconsistent all season long. The Green Bay offense was held to 20 or fewer points for the third time in their last five games and Rodgers threw for only 195 yards through the air. But running back Aaron Jones has been solid and Chicago’s defense has been stout at home.

There is plenty on the line in this game but the Packers should have the edge here. Chicago’s best bet here is their defense and they lost leading tackler Roquan Smith to an injury last week. Green Bay should get enough offense to pull off the win at home.
