David Haugh (11-3): Bears 27, Packers 23
The Packers have too many injuries, and the Bears have too much mojo. As a result, the NFL’s No. 1 offense since Week 5 will find a way to score four times. And this time, the Bears secondary will be more prepared for Jordan Love. The biggest game at Soldier Field in years feels like the winner will take the North.
Matt Spiegel (9-5): Bears 30, Packers 24
The Bears earn a big win and take a big step toward winning the NFC North.
Chris Emma (9-5): Bears 27, Packers 23
Caleb Williams will lead the Bears to a late go-ahead touchdown to secure a thrilling win over the rival Packers and position his team well in the playoff picture.
Paul Pabst (9-5): Bears 24, Packers 23
The Bears win at the buzzer. The buzzer. The winner will be the last team with the ball. I think the Packers need Christian Watson even more than they need Micah Parsons.
Jakob Stutz (11-3): Bears 30, Packers 24
It’s the biggest game of the year. Saturday night at Soldier Field. The Bears still have a bad taste in their mouth from last time they played the Packers, and Ben Johnson doesn’t strike me as a coach who will accept losing to Green Bay twice. Not having Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III hurts the Bears, but not as much as the loss of Micah Parsons for the Packers. The Bears offense should control the game without the Parsons threat on the other side.
Sean Sears (14-0): Bears 31, Packers 27
The Bears take their home game in the series against the Packers and get revenge on a team that will feel the loss of Micah Parsons and perhaps Christian Watson. Turnovers and explosive plays will be the difference in this game, and I’m leaning toward the Bears having the edge in both.
Tyler Ferengul (7-7): Bears 27, Packers 17
I was confident in the Bears to win at Lambeau Field on Dec. 7. I was wrong. But I'm again confident in them, and I believe the rematch will go their way this time around. While the Bears will be without Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III, there are plenty of options for Ben Johnson to turn to in their absences. The Bears offense ended the first game against the Packers with serious momentum. The passing game started clicking, and they ran the ball better late. Green Bay's defense has obviously suffered a string of major injuries since then, and Chicago capitalizes on its recent momentum. The Bears defense has started to play its best football lately and after giving up multiple chunk plays in the passing game to the Packers last time, Dennis Allen's unit will play much better this time around at Soldier Field. In one of the biggest games in this rivalry in years, the Bears take this one, inching closer to a playoff spot and, dare I say, the NFC North title.
Clint Clouse (12-2): Bears 24, Packers 17
The Bears are a 10-win team, which is a fact that I love saying. Ben Johnson has had a major impact in his first season in Chicago, and now comes the main event. Saturday brings us the Bears’ biggest game since their loss on the Double Doink in the playoffs in the 2018 season. I view this as another must-win for the Bears, as a tough schedule looms late and they can’t risk finishing under .500 in games against divisional opponents this season. This is also a revenge game for the Bears, who were on the brink of beating the Packers on Dec. 7. I believe the Bears beat the Packers, and don’t be surprised if they win out.
