Packers vs. Bears: Best Bet for NFL Wild Card Weekend

Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears (Saturday 8:00pm ET)

The Packers enter the postseason on a four-game losing streak, and while not ideal, you can almost justify it. Green Bay let go of the rope in a tough atmosphere in Denver, but then lost Jordan Love during the loss in Chicago, and fell to the Ravens without Love again. The Pack then packed it up for the regular season finale, and gave virtually no effort in Minnesota.

While Green Bay isn’t working with much momentum, it will have rest and health, which is extremely important this time of year. The Packers essentially beat the Bears twice in the last month — an actual win in Green Bay, and then a miracle win by the Bears in a game that Love got injured and multiple fluke plays swung the game.

I think a healthy Green Bay passing game can make plays downfield against the Chicago secondary, as we saw when Jordan Love threw three touchdowns in the first matchup. I’m going to make Caleb Williams prove it to me on the big stage and back the Packers to win round three of this NFC North showdown.

NFL Pick: Packers ML (-120)
