Defense: Green Bay Packers $3,900

There are a lot of intriguing defensive options this week, but the love fest for Mitch Trubisky fuels this choice. He’s been decent as of late, but a lot of that has come against really bad teams. Going off on the Jacksonville Jaguars is different than going off on the Packers who are fighting for the number-one seed in the NFC Playoffs. In fact, the last time the Packers played the Bears (15 points on November 29th).

The Packers picked off Trubisky twice and forced him to fumble once. That fumble was taken back for a touchdown by Preston Smith. If it wasn’t for two garbage-time touchdowns in the fourth quarter, it would have been an even bigger point total by the defense.

Trubisky is going into this week with everything on the line. The Bears desperately need a win against its biggest rival. If they lose, they are out of the playoff picture unless Arizona loses again. It’s a win and you’re in scenario. That kind of pressure hasn’t been good for Trubisky’s game in the past.

The Packers will be extremely motivated in this game. Trubisky has led his offense to big games against the Lions, Jaguars, Vikings, and Texans. Before that was his disaster game against the Packers. Bet on the result that’s already happened.
