Following one of the most exciting regular seasons in recent memory, the best is still to come heading into the NFL playoffs.
Early reports have snow in the forecast for Saturday night’s Wild Card clash in Chicago, where the Bears will host their historic division rival, the Green Bay Packers, at Soldier Field.
The Bears (11–6) won the NFC North title for the first time since 2018, earning the second seed in the conference. The Packers (9–7–1), meanwhile, finished second in the division and will enter the postseason as the No. 7 seed.
Green Bay and Chicago split two meetings during the regular season. The Packers won at Lambeau Field in Week 14, and the Bears settled the score at home in an overtime thriller in Week 16.
Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET. Green Bay enters as a slight 1.5-point road favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook, while Chicago is listed as a +100 underdog. The game’s total is set at 45.5 points.
Here are the top player prop bets for Saturday’s Wild Card showdown between the Packers and Bears.
Packers vs. Bears Best Prop Bets
Josh Jacobs Anytime Touchdown (-125)
Josh Jacobs appears back at full strength for the first time since suffering a knee injury in Week 11. Green Bay would be wise to lean on its star running back near the red zone — whether or not there’s snow on the ground.
Even while batting injuries down the stretch, Jacobs recorded 13 rushing touchdowns — tied for the fourth-most in the NFL — along with one receiving score. The Alabama product found the end zone three times in his last four games, including the tie-breaking touchdown against the Bears in Week 14.
Jacobs also scored a rushing touchdown in his playoff debut with the Packers last season against the Eagles. Expect him to follow suit against the Bears on Saturday night.
D’Andre Swift 60+ Rush Yards (-121)
Chicago boasts one of the NFL’s most formidable rush attacks, ranking third in both total yards and yards per carry (4.9). Headlining the Bears’ production is D’Andre Swift, who set a new career high with 1,087 rushing yards this season.
The former Georgia standout topped 60 rushing yards in eight of his 16 games, eclipsing the century mark three times. Swift was also a key contributor in both regular-season meetings with Green Bay, logging 63 yards in Week 14 and 58 in Week 16. Count on him to return to the well in the trilogy matchup.
Caleb Williams 2+ Pass TDs (+108)
Chicago’s return to relevance wouldn’t have been possible without a sophomore leap from Caleb Williams. While he didn’t eclipse 4,000 passing yards for the first time in franchise history, he came awfully close — throwing for 3,942 yards and 27 touchdowns while leading the Bears to a division title.
Williams reached a flow state down the stretch, throwing multiple touchdowns in each of Chicago’s last five regular-season games. He carved up the Packers twice during that span, punctuating Week 16’s roller-coaster comeback with this walk-off gem to DJ Moore:
Considering Green Bay’s weakened pass rush without Micah Parsons, count on Williams to find his groove in the pocket and dish out at least two touchdowns against his division rival for the third time this season — possibly sending them home in the process.
