Soldier Field will play host to the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears this weekend. These NFC rivals are currently jockeying for the top spot in the division with the Packers 4-1 and Bears 3-2.
Green Bay is coming off another win thanks to some late-game heroics against the Bengals which saw Mason Crosby miss several game-winning field goals. Meanwhile, the Bears were busy in Las Vegas upsetting the Raiders 20-9 as 5.5 point underdogs.

Packers vs Bears Prediction and Pick
The Bears head into this home game against longtime rival Packers coming off two wins in a row behind rookie QB Justin Fields. A good sign after getting roughed up by the Browns in week 3.
Despite the feel-good story that is Justin Fields, the Packers are a better team with a hall-of-fame quarterback at the helm. Aaron Rodgers also has a stellar record against the Bears, racking up 21 wins compared with just four losses in his 17 seasons in Green Bay. Since Matt Nagy took over in Chicago, Rodgers is 5-1 with a touchdown to interception ratio of 13/1. Of those six games, four of them were won by more than seven points and two by more than 16.
The fact is that, despite some issues on the offensive side of things in Green Bay, Rodgers has had Chicago’s number for the better part of two decades now.
Sure, the Packers are down on wide receivers and who knows what is going on with Mason Crosby. But Rodgers can make anyone shine on any given Sunday.
On the flipside, despite playing very well over the last two games, Justin Fields is still a rookie backup quarterback. He’s also a quarterback that is missing his biggest ground threat in David Montgomery who was placed on IR and will miss at least a few weeks. This leaves Damien Williams and Khalil Herbert to fill in. While the pair did a fine job in relief of Montgomery, neither is likely to be that impactful against the Packers and will give the defense a chance to focus more on the rookie QB.
While Fields does have a strong aptitude for getting yards on the ground, it seems the Bears are unwilling to let him loose. He totaled just four yards on three runs last week. He also sat out a bit after suffering an injury so maybe the Bears are right to overprotect him.
The fact is that the Bears right now, without their starting running back and a rookie quarterback calling the shots, is not good enough to bet on as an underdog here. The Bears don’t match up well against the Packers and haven’t had much success against them in recent memory.
