Keep up with the 2025 NFL season on FOX Sports.

We're favoring the Bears to knock off the Packers, and the recent form points Chicago’s way. The Bears closed the regular season at 11-6 and played their best football down the stretch, while Green Bay finished with a 9-7-1 record. Caleb Williams has been a difference-maker for Chicago, throwing for 3,942 yards and 27 touchdowns. Jordan Love countered with 3,381 passing yards and 23 touchdowns, but the consistency has not been the same.

Chicago’s rushing attack gives the Bears a major edge in this matchup. D’Andre Swift leads the way with 1,087 rushing yards and nine touchdowns, and Chicago is the only team in the league with two 750-plus-yard rushers. That is a problem for a Packers defense that has struggled to stop the run. Green Bay allowed 150 rushing yards to the Bears in their last meeting and was gashed for 216 yards by Derrick Henry in a loss to Baltimore.

With the game at Soldier Field, Chicago should be able to control the tempo and lean on its physicality. The Bears are slight favorites at -1.5, with a 51.1% implied probability to win. The total is set at 44.5 points, and the Bears are taking the Over in a matchup that sets up well for offense on both sides.
