Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers Prediction
I’m going to lean toward the Packers. Green Bay shot themselves in the foot with 10 penalties in the Lions matchup. The offense couldn’t sustain drives either: the Pack went just 3-of-12 on third downs. On the other side, the defense wasn’t too bad, giving up 261 yards (137 passing) and 4-of-12 on third-down tries—but no takeaways.
As for the Bears, they’ve hit the skids over their last three games. The Patriots matchup was especially ugly, as the Chicago offense could muster just 142 yards (69 passing), 2.4 yards per play, 11 first downs and an abysmal 1-of-14 rate on third-down tries. The Bears should make a soft landing for a Packers team in need of a good showing.
