It’s Week 18 in the National Football League, and the Chicago Bears will visit Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers. The Chicago Bears are 7-9 on the season, and have been eliminated from contention in the postseason. But, Chicago has won back to back games, and four out of their last five overall. The Bears are coming off a 20 point win at home over Atlanta.
For Green Bay, a win and they are in. The Packers are 8-8 on the season. Green Bay is coming off a monster Sunday Night Football win on the road at the Vikings in Week 17. The Packers are -3 in this game at home over the Bears.
Chicago Looking to Spoil Party
The Chicago Bears are looking to win their third straight game to finish the season. The Bears are also looking to get revenge from the 38-20 loss to Green Bay to start the season. Chicago started the season with four straight losses, and since then have won 7 of their last 12 games.
The Bears are scoring 21.9 points per game, while allowing teams to score 22.6 on the season. Chicago is the second best rushing team in all of the NFL with 145.3 yards per game. Justin Fields has over 600 rushing yards on the season. He also has over 2,400 passing yards, with 1,300 of them to DJ Moore.
The Bears top running back options outside of their signal caller have been Khalil Herbert, D’onta Foreman and Roschon Johnson. Those three combined for over 1,500 yards, and 10 touchdowns on the season.
Packers Love Their Quarterback
The Green Bay Packers have gone as their quarterback Jordan Love has gone. The signal caller has thrown for just shy of 3,900 yards on the season and 30 touchdowns. Jayden Reed has been his top target for most of the season. Reed has 681 yards and 8 touchdowns, including two in the win over the Vikings.
Outside of Reed, Romeo Doubs, Dontavion Wicks, Christian Watson and Tucker Kraft have been the top receiving options. Doubs is tied with Reed, with 8 touchdowns on the season. Wicks has 33 receptions, while Watson has missed 7 games this season, but still have five touchdown receptions. Kraft took over as the top tight end for the injured Luke Musgrave.
AJ Dillon and Aaron Jones are the running back options for Green Bay. Dillon leads the team with 178 carries, 613 yards and 2 touchdowns. Jones has played in just 10 games this season, with 120 carries, 545 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Packers Top Bears in Week 18
The Green Bay Packers are going to win this game. Jordan Love looked good in the win over the VIkings. The defense was solid. It will be cold. It will be loud. Green Bay has a chance to get to the postseason, and they are not going to give that chance up. They could potentially play Detroit, a divisional rival in the first round of the postseason. Or a long time rivalry renewed against the Dallas Cowboys.
Regardless, this is going to be fun, and the Packers are going to win, and cover the spread. The bet to make here is the Green Bay Packers -3 over the Chicago Bears on Sunday!
