The Chicago Bears (4-12) visit their NFL rivals of more than a century, the Green Bay Packers (11-5). Our Bears vs Packers prediction is for favored Green Bay to cover the 10-point spread.
Chicago is just trying to get their horrific season over with, but they can still salvage something if they make Green Bay’s playoff road harder. If Green Bay wins and Washington loses to the Cowboys, Green Bay will be the 6th seed in the NFC. If Washington wins, Green Bay will be the 7th seed and must travel to Philadelphia to play the Eagles in the Wild Card.
Head-to-head, Green Bay holds the advantage with a record of 108-95-6.
Offshore Odds: Packers Are Double-Digit Favorites
| Team | Spread | Money Line | Total |

| Packers | -10 (-105) | -450 | U 41 (-105) |
Chicago Has Lost 10 Straight
The Bears’ last game was perhaps its most ponderous, a 6-3 loss to the Seahawks with a score that would have been a better fit in a White Sox-Mariners game in mid-July.
Chicago’s season started with such positive vibes. First overall draft pick Caleb Williams’ career got underway and the team looked to be on a rapid rise with a 4-2 start. However, they lost to Washington on a Hail Mary. That was the first of 10 straight defeats. Head coach Matt Eberflus was fired on Black Friday instead of Black Monday. The team is about to embark on a busy offseason.
It’s easy for them to look past this game and finally go home, but this game matters to Green Bay. For no other reason, Chicago should take that as motivation.
While an upset win would not make up for this dreadful campaign, they could go out on a good note. Chicago did put up a fight in the earlier matchup taking a 19-14 lead into the fourth quarter before losing on a late touchdown run by Jordan Love, 20-19.
Green Bay Knows Its Situation
There is a real chance that the Cowboys beat the Commanders.
If that happens and Green Bay beats Chicago, the Packers can avoid going to Philadelphia where they lost on opening night and will be heavy underdogs. The 6th seed would either go to Tampa Bay or Los Angeles. Despite being the Packuhs and associated with the “Ice Bowl,” it’s easier to run an offense in good weather.
Green Bay has lost only to quality teams this season. They have won all the games they were supposed to win and beat some pretty good teams along the way.
Cornerback Jaire Alexander is out with a knee injury. Wide receiver Christian Watson is questionable, also with a knee injury. Apart from that, they’re healthy.
Bears vs Packers Prediction: Green Bay Will Take Care Of Chicago
Although the Bears have put up a fight in many of their losses during the 10-game skid, once Green Bay builds up a lead, the game will get out of hand. The Packers will cover the 10-point spread.
