NFL : Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers Odds & Prediction

Game Info: January 5, 2025 1:00PM EST @ Lambeau Field

The Bears have yet to hit their stride and have suffered several really bad losses while putting things together at times in close games. The Packers, on the other hand, have been a powerhouse team, sweeping through an array of wins running the gamut to closer losses. And besides, head-to-head meetings with Chicago, Green Bay has always proven dominant, not just in pure numbers, as fan favorite and without-doubt best-in-all-time quarterback Brett Favre and his powerful offense had little trouble in piling it up against the opponents in a disciplined manner. However, although both teams are beaten up, this contest will measure the depth-their injuries-and the character of each of the teams-in the event. Expect a game full of intensity; the Bears will want to break their losing streak while the Packers will try to extend their winning streak.
