Recent Performance: The Packers come into this matchup with a superior 6-3 record, compared to the Bears at 4-5. Green Bay has owned this rivalry recently, winning their last five matchups against Chicago. Over that stretch, the Packers have outscored the Bears by a combined 155-88, highlighting their dominance.

Offensive Advantage: Green Bay’s offense is far more efficient, ranking 8th in passing yards per game (234.6). On the other hand, the Bears are in a tailspin offensively, averaging just 9.0 points per game over their last three outings. Chicago’s recent struggles have resulted in the lowest EPA per play during their current three-game losing streak.

Rest and Preparation: The Packers are coming off a bye week, providing extra time for rest and preparation. Historically, teams coming off a bye tend to have a strategic edge, and this added preparation should favor Green Bay against a Bears team dealing with offensive uncertainty.

Bears' Offensive Woes: Chicago’s offensive issues have been exacerbated by a recent change at offensive coordinator, which could lead to more disconnect and inconsistency. The lack of continuity is especially concerning against a Packers defense that has been opportunistic in forcing turnovers.

Betting Trends: The Packers are favored by 5.5 points, with a strong 73% of Covers Consensus users backing Green Bay to cover the spread. Additionally, Bears head coach Matt Eberflus has struggled as an underdog, going just 12-19-1 (43%) ATS.
