Why Bet The Packers:
✅ The Packers have won seven straight games over the Chicago Bears. They have won each of their last four meetings by double digits dating back to the start of the 2020 season. Even after a rough first game against the Vikings, the Packers are going to extend that streak by beating the Bears by over 10 points once again.
✅ The Chicago Bears had fewer passing yards than any team in the NFL in Week 1. Justin Fields had 121 yards passing and averaged fewer than 5.0 yards per attempt. Even if the Packers struggled in Week 1, the incompetence of the Bears offensively is going to give Green Bay a huge edge in a crucial spot for them early in the season.
✅ Last season, the Green Bay Packers went 7-2 against the spread in home games between the regular season and postseason. The Chicago Bears, on the other hand, went 3-6 against the spread in their road games. In the first home game of the season for the Packers, and the first road game of the season for the Bears, Green Bay has a massive advantage in this scenario.
Chicago Bears
In Week 1, the Chicago Bears won outright as a seven-point home underdog against the San Francisco 49ers. In wet weather, the field conditions helped the Bears hold Trey Lance and the 49ers in check from start to finish. While the Bears were lackluster on offense in their own right in their season opener, their defense did a great job even without Khalil Mack around to help their pass rush.
The question for the Bears coming into this game is whether or not their defense will hold up in Green Bay without the weather to help them. Last week, the Minnesota Vikings locked the Packers offense down in a dome. But the Bears may not be able to do the same here, especially if the Chicago offense is unable to move the ball and give the defense a break.
Green Bay Packers
Week 1 was a nightmare for the Green Bay Packers, as they were crushed by the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis. Aaron Rodgers failed to throw a touchdown pass in that game, with the Packers losing the turnover battle 2-0 to their division rivals. Now, the Packers will hope that their dominance over the Bears continues to help even their record on the young season.
With Davante Adams gone, things were expected to get a little tougher on Rodgers and the offense of the Packers. But the leading receiver for Green Bay in Week 1 was running back A.J. Dillon with 46 yards. If the Packers can’t find some better performances from their receiving corps, this game could be more challenging than anticipated for the Packers.
