Packers vs. Bears Odds
Game Preview
The Packers lost Micah Parsons, their defensive anchor, and that’ll undoubtedly cause problems. To be honest, right away, this team isn’t a Super Bowl candidate anymore. At least not the top-five.
Seeing them lose to the Broncos 34-26 was a reality check for many. Jordan Love isn’t a guy who can lead a team on his own, which was noticeable at Mile High. Two picks, 24 completions in 40 attempts, and many bad decisions speak for themselves.
The Bears and Packers have both lost their starting Edge Rushers to season-ending injuries this year. Tough luck for both clubs, but that's football for you.

The Bears smashed the Browns, 31-3, last weekend and now have 6 wins in the previous 7 contests. The sole loss was in Green Bay, which will be a huge fuel for this event.
Chicago has two running backs on track to reach a 1,000-yard mark. Kyle Monangai has 681, while De’Andre Swift has 935. And without Parsons, they will be far more lethal.

Packers vs. Bears Predictions
Green Bay is the favorite here, but the Bears will win. Chicago was close at Lambeau, imagine now at home, without Parsons on the other half.
