Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers Betting Preview

>

 

— Sunday, December 12th Chicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers

A full slate of NFL football on Sunday will wrap up with an NFC North rivalry on Sunday night as the Green Bay Packers host the Chicago Bears. This is one of the oldest and best rivalries in the league, but it hasn't been very competitive over the past decade.

Chicago comes into this game with a record of 4-8, and the Bears are not going to be making a surprising run to the playoffs this season. The Bears are likely going to fire head coach Matt Nagy in the offseason and begin a rebuild.

Green Bay leads the NFC North with a record of 9-3, and they are one of the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl. The Packers have gone just 2-2 in their last four games, and they are looking to gain momentum before the playoffs.

The Green Bay Packers are 12.5-point betting favorites over the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football.

Bears' Offense a Disaster

The Chicago Bears are scoring less than 17 points per game this season, and that is despite having one of the best running backs in the league. Chicago has thrown for just 198 yards per game, and rookie Justin Fields will be back under center in this one.

Running back David Montgomery is capable of putting up more than 100 yards if given a chance, and the Bears need to run the football a ton in this game. Chicago can't afford to let Aaron Rodgers and the Packers' offense dominate time of possession.

The defense will be missing a couple of key pieces, but that unit always struggles against Green Bay. Chicago is giving up 24 points per game, but they have to get pressure on Rodgers on Sunday night.

Rodgers Owns the Bears

Aaron Rodgers is 22-5 against the Bears in his career, and he let them hear about it when the teams met up in Chicago. Rodgers has 23 touchdowns to just four interceptions this season, and he should have another big day.

The Packers can also run the football, and they use that attack to keep opposing defenses off-balance. Green Bay won't have trouble hitting on big plays, but they also need to chew up some time.

The defense continues to be an issue at times, but that unit is giving up just 20 points per game. This will be a chance for the defense to put up a low number against a bad offense.

Packers Embarrass Division Rivals

The Chicago Bears will be motivated to get some revenge on Rodgers and the Packers, but they just don't have the talent to get it done. It's been a miserable season for the Bears, and things don't usually go well for them in Green Bay.

The Packers simply can't afford to lose this game as they are trying to chase down the number one seed. Green Bay will look to make another statement, and this game could be over by halftime.

Bet the Green Bay Packers -12.5 as they beat the Chicago Bears by more than three touchdowns on Sunday night.
