The Packers are entering this game with an 11-5 record overall and they have a 1-4 record in their divisional games too. They are 6-2 in their home games, 5-2 in their road games, and they are also 0-1 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

The current betting odds have the Packers listed as a 10 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Packers have looked good in their games this season with their 11-5 record overall which has them in 3rd place of the NFC North and locked into a Wild Card spot. They don't really have too much to play for in this game, but they can still change their seeding with a win and a Commanders loss. Meanwhile, the Bears have looked terrible in their games this season with their 4-12 record overall which has them at the bottom of the NFC North with one of the worst records in the NFL. They started the season 4-2 and with a lot of promise, but they have lost 10 games in a row now and their season has pretty much been over since Thanksgiving. They are coming off a 6-3 loss to the Seahawks in their last one and their offense has looked terrible lately, especially in their road games. This is going to be a tough road environment they are going into and they have nothing left to play for this season. The Packers are at least still play for seeding and they will be looking to bounce back with a win going into the playoffs after losing to a division rival last week. The Bears aren't going to put up many points in this road game so the Packers won't need to do much to pull away here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Packers to cover the spread in this game.
