The NFC North is arguably the strongest division in the NFL right now, making their classic rivalries that much more meaningful. That’s especially true with the Green Bay Packers taking on the Chicago Bears, and with that being exactly the case on SATURDAY, we’ve got our best Packers vs. Bears for Week 16.

As if having top Packers vs. Bears picks weren't enough, you’ll also find a guaranteed Novig Sportsbook promo code bonus below!

Packers vs. Bears Predictions for NFL Week 16, Saturday 12/20

If it feels like these NFC North rivals just played, that’s because they did! It was just two Sundays ago in Week 14 when Chicago fell short of quite a strong comeback and fell to Green Bay at Lambeau Field, 28-21. That means that we’ll be making Packers vs. Bears predictions for a matchup at Soldier Field in Chicago.

The division remains very much up for grabs, and this early Saturday matchup very well may end up deciding it. Of course, we can’t even begin breaking this matchup down until we address the elephant in the room - the Micah Parsons torn ACL. While he’ll obviously be out for the season, we also don’t expect to see Christian Watson on the field this Saturday.

Those two significant injuries are certainly part of why we’ve seen the Packers vs. Bears odds shift. The lookahead lines had Green Bay favored by 3.5 points, while they’re now barely favored at all. Of course, Chicago’s dominant 31-3 on Sunday also plays a role in that, so how will that affect our Packers vs. Bears predictions?

Well, as far as our best bet goes, it allows us to keep things nice and basic, so let’s dive into why that is.

 

 

 

Packers vs. Bears Best Bet: Green Bay Money Line (-106 at Novig)

That’s right - we’re backing the team that just suffered big injuries on both sides of the ball. While they’re certainly meaningful, we cannot treat them in the same light as the Patrick Mahomes torn ACL. Micah Parsons and Christian Watson don’t touch the ball every single play like Jordan Love.

Let’s not forget that he came through for Packers vs. Bears predictions when these teams very recently met, a game in which he tossed three TD passes. Similarly, let’s also not forget that the Micah Parsons trade was to put them over the hump; we aren’t looking at an NFC Championship Game right now.

Love and the Packers have still made the NFC Divisional Round and Wild Card Round the past two seasons, whereas Chicago is still a bit ahead of schedule at this point. They may need to rush five more often than before, but outside of that, they still have the consistency of beating the Bears on their side.

All that adds up to us feeling as though the books have overreacted a bit and provided us with a reasonable price for a money line. Therefore, the best bet from our Packers vs. Bears predictions is simply Green Bay’s money line (-106 at Novig).

Packers vs. Bears Injury Report & Latest News

This past weekend was brutal with two massive injuries, so of course, the Micah Parsons torn ACL transcends just Packers vs. Bears injury news. Unfortunately for Green Bay, Christian Watson, Zach Tom, and Evan Williams also went down, and that was JUST this past Sunday.

Meanwhile, as for Packers vs. Bears injuries in Chicago, the “only” major one is Rome Odunze. Since these are so significant and these teams are on a shorter week than usual, make sure that you’re checking in with the Fantasy Alarm NFL injury report.
