Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

There's plenty of interest in the NFC North showdown between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears on Sunday despite the teams currently filling the bottom two positions in the division.

The Packers desperately need to win at Soldier Field to stay in touch with the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings above them.

They would also love to extend their fantastic recent record against the Bears, which has seen them win the last 10 meetings between the two teams.

The Bears' season has reached something of a crisis point. At 4-5 they are by no means out of contention, but they have lost three straight games and their performances have been heading in the wrong direction.

Last week's 19-3 loss to the Patriots led to offensive coordinator Shane Waldron being fired this week and the pressure is on head coach Matt Eberflus and rookie quarterback Caleb Williams to turn things around.

The Packers are strong favorites to make it six straight wins at Soldier Field, but the Bears have been much better in home games than on the road, with all four of their wins coming in front of their own fans.

Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears betting picks and predictions

Green Bay Packers -5.5 @ -110

The Packers always look forward to their games against their NFC North rivals the Bears, not least because they have a tremendous record in them.

Green Bay have racked up 10 straight wins in the series and their success stretches back much further than that, with 25 victories in the teams' last 28 meetings.

The timing of their first clash of the season has also worked out perfectly for the visitors, as they have had a chance to rest up over their bye week, while Chicago's season plumbed new depths with last week's defeat by a poor Pats team.

Potential Packers backers should not worry too much about covering the reasonable spread for the game, as every win in the current 10-game winning run over the Bears has been achieved by a double-digit margin and the Bears have lost their last two games by an average margin of 18 points.

It has taken a strong team to beat the Packers this year, with their three losses coming to the Lions, Eagles and Vikings and the Bears don't belong in the same category as those clubs.

The Bears have not scored a touchdown in their last two games, during which rookie QB Williams has been sacked 15 times behind a struggling offensive line.

Williams, the first pick in this year's draft, is reportedly in danger of being benched and the Packers should take advantage of their opponents' problems to extend their run of success in this matchup.

Josh Jacobs anytime touchdown scorer @ -110

Running back Josh Jacobs has made an impressive start to his time with the Packers, having spent the first five years of his career with the Raiders.

The 26-year-old former first-round pick already has 762 rushing yards this season, including a pair of 100-yard games against the Colts and Jaguars, while he had 95 from just 13 carries in his most recent appearance against the Lions.

Jacobs has scored three rushing touchdowns in his last five games and looks good to add another against the Bears, who gave up 213 rushing yards and three scores on the ground to the Cardinals in Week 9.

The running back has been limited in practice due to a quad injury, but should still be called upon when the Packers are close to the goal line.

Tucker Kraft over 33.5 receiving yards @ -110

The Bears have given up plenty of receptions to opposing tight ends in recent games and Green Bay's Tucker Kraft could have success against them too.

Patriots tight end Austin Hooper led his team with 64 receiving yards in last Sunday's game, while the Cardinals' top two receivers were tight ends the previous week, as Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins went for 35 and 34 yards respectively.

Before that, Washington's Zach Ertz had a big game against the Bears with seven catches for 77 yards.

Kraft is averaging 41.8 receiving yards per game this season and should be set for another solid game on Sunday.
