Betting on the Green Bay Packers
Beyond the issues with their receiving group, there is no denying that the Packers are one of the greatest disappointments of the season.
With 6.2 passing yards on average, Green Bay ranks 14th in the nation with Aaron Rodgers currently injured. Another issue has been turnovers; with 17, they have the fourth-highest total in the league, with nine of them coming from interceptions by Rodgers.
With 283 points allowed after 12 weeks, they are the sixth team with the most points conceded defensively. Furthermore, despite having the seventh-highest number of passing touchdowns (18), they have a terrible ground game, giving up the most rushing yards (1,857) and having 13 touchdowns scored against them.
Betting on the Chicago Bears
Although the Bears have vastly improved their offensive production, the defense has been a real disaster and that is why they are fighting with the Packers for the last place in the division.
Although Justin Fields is uncertain once more for this game, Chicago has scored more than 24 points in five of its last six games, including more than 30 on three occasions. Their forte is the ground attack where they lead the league, comfortably, by registering 2,304 total yards and average 5.4 yards per rush.
As we already mentioned, the defense has failed to do the job and as a result they are the third team with the most points allowed with 305. No one has given up more touchdowns on the ground than they have by receiving 19, and they are fourth in average yards allowed per play with 5.9.
JefeBet Prediction
In place of Aaron Rodgers, Jordan Love performed admirably, and against a weak Bears defense, he might give Green Bay’s offense—which has struggled mightily to attack through the air—a new lease on life.
For his part, we will have to see if Justin Fields will take the field, and if so, we will surely have many offensive highlights against a Packers defense that has not been able to stop their opponents on the ground.
Prediction: Over (CHI 20 – GB 26).
