David Haugh (9-3): Packers 31, Bears 27
The rivalry means something again, and the Bears have every reason to believe they will chant "good, better, best" in the Packers’ visiting locker room. But Green Bay still has a deep receivers corps and a quarterback playing at a higher level than Chicago’s. Not to mention that the Packers defense will be the best the Bears have played this season.
Matt Spiegel (8-4): Bears 27, Packers 24
The tide finally turns.
Chris Emma (8-4): Bears 21, Packers 20
This should be a terrific football game between two rivals. The Bears find a way to win another close game and beat the Packers in Green Bay.
Paul Pabst (8-4): Bears 28, Packers 24
If Chicago’s running game can come even close to its performance of last week, it's Bears win this one. Jordan Love can be rattled. The Bears must make him uncomfortable.
Alex Kuhn (9-3): Bears 21, Packers 14
Jordan Love and the Packers offense have been taking care of the football, but the underlying risks have still been there. Even Love’s deep touchdown throw to Dontayvion Wicks on Thanksgiving was a forced throw that should've been intercepted. The Bears secondary is a much tougher matchup for the Packers than the Lions were, and that means Love can’t get away with forced throws. Having T.J. Edwards back will allow the Bears to keep Josh Jacobs in check and force Love into long-yardage situations. The Bears offense does just enough and the defense forces Love into a critical mistake in a Chicago win.
Jakob Stutz (10-2): Bears 24, Packers 20
At this point, I see no reason to pick against the Bears until they lose. This is a team playing with a ton of confidence. Ben Johnson continues his success against Matt LaFleur with help from Dennis Allen’s defense forcing the Packers to turn it over.
Sean Sears (12-0): Packers 27, Bears 24
I hope I’m wrong and my undefeated prediction streak comes to an end this Sunday, but unfortunately, I’m leaning Packers in this one. Micah Parsons and the Packers defense will easily be the best unit these Bears will see this season. The Bears’ running game was impressive in Philly, but I don’t think they’ll dominate time of possession like that in Green Bay. But it would be cool if they did – and be even cooler if Caleb Williams looked better than Jordan Love.
Tyler Ferengul (6-6): Bears 24, Packers 17
The Bears will walk into Lambeau Field this Sunday and top their victory in Philly by beating the Packers to take firm control of the NFC North. I just have a feeling and a confidence that after last week, the Bears can truly beat anybody. As much as I hate to admit it, the Packers are a good team. I don't think that scares the Bears, who can win the line of scrimmage offensively and get the running game going. As good as Green Bay's secondary has looked, it can be had if the Packers aren’t getting it done up front. I believe we have yet to see the best football from this Bears defense, which just welcomed Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon back. The Packers offense is either really strong or out of whack. I expect Dennis Allen to dial up a lot of unique pressure looks to rattle Jordan Love. That will be one of the turning points that tilts the game in the Bears’ favor. Ben Johnson has put his money where his mouth is all season long with the growth and development of this team. The Bears move to 10-3 and take command of the NFC North.
Clint Clouse (11-1): Bears 23, Packers 20
All last week, I heard about how much better the Eagles were than the Bears. Then the Bears ran it down the Eagles’ throat in a decisive win. Now come the two games against the Packers across the next three weeks that I believe will make or break whether the Bears win the NFC North. The Packers are the best defense the Bears will face, as they rank in the top 10 or near the top 10 in most defensive categories. Micah Parson already has 12.5 sacks and roams around looking to wreak havoc. That startles me. What doesn't startle me is Ben Johnson and his ability to have a plan of attack to exploit what the Packers want to do on defense. I think the Packers offense is better than people give them credit for. Jordan Love is a dangerous player regardless of whether he’s throwing to WR1s, as they can make plays. But if you think I'm picking the Packers, you’re sorely mistaken.
