The Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers renew the NFL's oldest rivalry in Week 18 action. Losers of 10 straight contests, Chicago will look to stop the bleeding and end 2024 on a high note. Meanwhile, Green Bay needs to win this game and get some help to secure the NFC's six-seed in the playoffs.
Look for all the Bears vs Packers odds and my best bets:
Bears vs Packers Odds Week 18
Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers, January 5th, 1:00 pm ET
Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
Chicago Bears | +9.5 (-110) | +310 | O 40.5 (-110) |
Green Bay Packers | -9.5 (-110) | -390 | U 40.5 (-110) |
Bears vs Packers Week 18 Picks
Packers -9.5
Since their losing streak began, the Bears rank 28th in offensive, and 26th in defensive EPA per play. Along those same lines, quarterback Caleb Williams sits 25th out of 26th qualified quarterbacks in adjusted EPA per play, and dead last in success rate.
There's not a lot to get excited about on Chicago's side. The Bears sit dead last in offensive yards per play, and 30th in defensive. Moreover, Chicago's defense has allowed a huge 4.7 yards per carry. Josh Jacobs will eat this lackadaisical defensive front for breakfast.
Green Bay has scored 30+ points in four of their last five games, and just put up 25 against the Vikings robust defense. Don't overthink this one, back the Pack.
Bears vs Packers Week 18 Props
Bears vs Packers Week 18 props have yet to be released. However, I like the idea of backing Jayden Reed to bounce back after a couple rough weeks.
