Sunday Night Football’s Week 2 schedule gives football fans an installment of the league’s most historic rivalry as the Chicago Bears travel to Lambeau Field once again to face their hated rivals, the Green Bay Packers. And we have a Bears vs Packers parlay locked and loaded for this Sunday night rivalry game..
In what surprised many preseason prognosticators, the Bears will enter Lambeau Field atop the Packers in the NFC North standings after the opening week. Aided by some beneficial wet weather and the sloppy Soldier Field turf, the Bears upset the San Francisco 49ers 19-10 in a low scoring stunner.
Over in Packers country, life after Davante Adams proved to be grim as quarterback Aaron Rodgers failed to find the spark to drive the offense with his weakened receiving core. Rodgers and the Packers scored just a single touchdown in a 23-7 humbling against the division rival Minnesota Vikings.
Who will have the bragging rights when the dust settles on Sunday Night Football? Will Aaron Rodgers find the answers needed to turn his patchwork wide receiving corps into a productive aerial attack? Can the Bears offense produce in normal weather conditions? These are the questions to ask when building a Bears vs Packers Same Game Parlay for Sunday Night Football.
Pick 1 | Chicago Bears +9.5 (-104) |
Pick 2 | Justin Fields Over 36.5 Rushing Yards (-114) |
Pick 3 | Aaron Rodgers Over 248.5 Passing Yards (-114) |
Parlay Odds | +456 ($20 to win $91.27) |
Pick #1: Chicago Bears +9.5 (-104)
Chicago comes into Sunday Night Football with momentum they may not have expected before their Week 1 game against the Niners. Stepping up in the uncomfortable weather conditions, the Bears were a galvanized unit willing to do whatever it took to come out of Soldier Field with the win and were rewarded for it.
The Bears hung around and came back from a 10-0 second half deficit after a fourth quarter touchdown catch from Equanimeous St. Brown followed by a game winning touchdown run from Khalil Herbert. Justin Fields and the offense rewarded the defense for a four quarter effort with a game winning effort late in a balanced effort from all units of the team.
On the road in Green Bay is a far different challenge than playing at Soldier Field in weather conditions that helped neutralize the talent gap between the Bears and Niners. Still, 9.5 is a big number and gives plenty of cushion for bettors who think the Bears will keep it close in a primetime rivalry game. As a result, we will add the Bears plus the points to this Bears vs Packers parlay.

Pick #2: Justin Fields Over 36.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
Fields played the role of game manager perfectly in the win over San Francisco, making the plays needed in the second half to guide his team to victory with two massive passing touchdowns. Even more will be needed from him on the road against Rodgers and the Packers, including more from him on the ground as Fields will likely need to use his legs to make plays on Sunday night.
Fields tucked it and ran 11 times against the Niners but only registered 28 yards with a shockingly low 2.8 yards per carry. Last season, Fields averaged 5.8 yards per carry as a rookie and if he runs as much as he did in Week 1 he should fly past the 36.5 rushing yards number.

Pick #3: Aaron Rodgers Over 248.5 Passing Yards (-114)
Rodgers had one of his worst season debuts of his career against the Vikings and is in a bounce back spot in a big game as a result. Luckily for Rodgers, he has the reputation of rising to the occasion along with the reputation of having the Bears number throughout his career.
Rodgers has a career average of 242.6 passing yards per game against the hated Bears that includes several 300+ yard games and will be motivated to replicate his past success to silence the doubters creeping in after Week 1’s dud. The Packers need to get Rodgers and his group of no-name wideouts going if they are going to have any type of success as a team this season and that starts with a much better outing through the air for their leader.

Bears vs Packers Preview
Sunday Night Football will be the 203rd meeting between the Bears and the Packers as the two NFC North teams continue the historic rivalry. Green Bay has the Super Bowls and the all-time bragging rights over the Bears, holding a 102-94-6 record in the 202 games the two teams have played to date.
Aaron Rodgers has kept the tradition of the Packers tormenting the Bears in the modern era alive as the future Hall of Fame quarterback has lost just five times to Chicago in his lengthy career. Rodgers has 22 wins over the Bears in that timeframe as the Bears faithful are counting down the days until the quarterback calls it a career.
Justin Fields played in both games against Green Bay as a rookie and failed to put an end to Rodgers dominance in the rivalry. The Bears dropped both games in 2021 to Green Bay and Fields threw three interceptions and was sacked six times in his rookie season outings against the Packers.
Chicago has lost six straight to the Pack, who rarely lose to the Bears. Since 2010, have just four wins over the Packers in what has been the most dismal period of Chicago’s franchise history when it comes to their battles with Green Bay.
