Packers vs Bears Prediction
Chicago comes into this matchup with a slim lead in the NFC North over the Packers, but they are on the road for this game. The Bears have won five straight and they have scored at least 24 points in four of those wins. I keep waiting for Chicago to fall apart, but they have done a great job of winning close games. Green Bay has won three in a row and just beat the Lions on the road last time out. The Packers have been very inconsistent on offense this season, but their defense has been elite. I do think Green Bay gets the win, but this feels like a lot of points for a Chicago team that is thriving in close games. Take the Bears and the points here.
