As the 2025 regular season enters its final stretch, divisional games will be a prevalent theme. That will be put on full display this weekend as the Green Bay Packers (9-4-1) visit the Chicago Bears (10-4) at historic Soldier Field—prepare for an adversity-laden clash in the Midway.
Within the NFC North market at FanDuel Sportsbook, the Bears are listed as the odds-on favorite ahead of Week 16, displaying a price of -110. Incidentally, the Packers are close behind, yielding +110 odds on the same board. Kalshi’s predictions show aspects a little differently. There, Green Bay has a 49% chance to win the division, while Chicago has a 47% chance. That should give you an understanding of the magnitude of Saturday’s bid.
The Packers have operated with a fierce defense throughout the year. Green Bay has surrendered just 194.1 YPG through the air, which is the seventh-best clip in football. However, superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons was shelved with a torn ACL last week. Parsons’s notable absence will give the Bears’ offense amplified confidence when playing from the pocket.
Chicago has thrived on offense this season. Second-year quarterback Caleb Williams (54.4 QBR) has made an impressive jump, and as such, the Bears are producing 26.1 PPG. That is up considerably from their 2024 scoring clip of 18.2 PPG.
Picking a winner in this meeting of old midwestern rivals is like splitting hairs, but my lean is on Chicago SU at home. Temperatures will hover around freezing for this one, but I think the Bears will be able to carry out their offense, which is strong both on the ground and through the air. Conversely, Chicago’s D has registered 30 total takeaways, featuring a whopping 21 interceptions.
Best Bet: Bears ML (-124)
I have a hunch that the offenses in this game, ones that are combining to score 51.0 PPG right now, will make for a shootout.
Williams and Packers quarterback Jordan Love (73.9 QBR) are at the stages of their professional careers where they are looking to make statements, and that opportunity will be presented come Saturday. Incidentally, I am on the over 46.5 total points for this marquee divisional affair.
SportsGrid’s predictive model is also keen on over 46.5, labeling it as a two-star play at this time. For reference, Green Bay has gone 8-6 for over bettors in the current campaign. Across the way. Chicago has converted for the over in seven of 14 games. That means overs have cashed in 53.6% of contests that have featured at least one of these teams.
When it comes to da Bears and the Pack, it is always personal (especially with the present head coaches). In the off chance that one side gets the opportunity to run up the score, they certainly will.
Best Bet: Over 46.5 (-110)
