Packers at Bears: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Packers 24, Bears 21

Money line (?)

The PACKERS (-250) are on the expensive side, but they should be bet to win outright with Rodgers looking to put the finishing touches on his third MVP campaign.

The injuries in Chicago’s secondary further play to his advantage.

Against the spread (?)

The Packers are riding a five-game win streak with each of those wins coming by 7 or more points, but the BEARS +4.5 (-105) will keep it close in a low-scoring game.

The Chicago team that lost to Green Bay earlier this season is much different than the one we’ve seen in recent weeks with Trubisky and second-year RB David Montgomery playing the best football of their respective careers.

Over/Under (?)

Take the UNDER 51.5 (-115) on one of the highest projected totals of Week 17. Rodgers will do enough to seal the MVP but could be taken out early if the Packers get a big enough lead.
