Packers vs Bears Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup sitting towards the top of the NFC North standings, so this is a huge game in the playoff race. The Packers are coming off of a road loss against Denver, but they did play pretty well in the first three quarters. Chicago is 5-1 at home and they are looking for revenge on their 28-21 loss in Green Bay just a few weeks ago. The Bears are playing better than anyone expected this season and I think they have the advantage with Parsons and Watson banged up for the Pack. Both quarterbacks have been very good in recent weeks, but I think the Bears will make a few more plays. Take Chicago here.
