The Bears are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Packers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games overall. The under is 8-3 in Bears last 11 games overall. The under is 7-2 in Packers last 9 games overall. The Bears are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Green Bay and 7-21 ATS in their last 28 meetings.
The Chicago Bears have the defense to hang around in this contest, but their offense is a major issue, and it makes them hard to trust against quality teams. The Bears are 30th in both total offense and scoring offense. The Green Bay Packers have had an extra week to prepare for this contest, and their improvement defensively makes them easier to trust in big chalk spots. The Packers also already beat the Bears on the road by 10 points, and there’s still a lot of hatred between these clubs. I don’t love laying these numbers, but I have to side with the Packers here.
