Packers vs Bears Picks

A division clash can sometimes throw up some surprises and this one could be no different. With the Packers offense humming, Rodgers and co. could put up some points on the Bears defense.

But by keeping the Raiders to just nine points last week, scoring points could prove rather difficult for the Packers. Despite this, Green Bay should get the win and move to 5-1 on the season.

Packers vs Bears Prediction

Divisional matchups are sometimes a toss of the coin as to who comes out on top, however, with Green Bay's dominance over the Bears and given they are on a four-game win streak, Aaron Rodgers should have enough to get past the Bears.

Justin Fields put up 20 points against the Raiders last week and he will at least have to match that to get the win over the Packers. Green Bay hold all the cards in this one and should get the win to move to 5-1 on the season.

Prediction: The Packers will continue their recent dominance in this fixture and will beat the Bears by at least 10 points.
