Opening odds for Packers vs. Bears in 2026 NFC Wild Card Round

Updated:

By: Ciaran Doyle

The 2025/26 NFL regular season has finished, and with that, the playoffs have arrived. The field in the NFC is set, and we have quite a few mouthwatering matchups to look forward to. Up next, the #7 seed Packers travel to Chicago to take on the #2 seed Bears on Wild Card Weekend.

The Packers were already locked into the #7 seed in Week 18 and rested all their starters. There are injury concerns regarding Jordan Love, and getting him back healthy will be imperative for this NFC North clash.

The Bears had a shot at the #1 seed going into Week 17, but fell short to San Francisco. They then lost again in Week 18 to the Lions, but held on to the #2 seed because the Eagles also lost.

These teams split their regular season matchups, with both teams winning their respective home game. The Packers lost Jordan Love to injury in their 22-16 loss in Chicago, which ultimately could have changed the outcome had he stayed healthy.
