GB Packers vs. CHI Bears Game Day Preview
The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears square off Saturday night at Soldier Field in a high-stakes NFC North rematch with division control on the line. Chicago enters at 10-4 atop the division, while Green Bay sits close behind at 9-4-1, making this one of the most meaningful late-season Bears–Packers games in years.
This matchup is a rematch of their Week 14 meeting, a 28–21 Packers win at Lambeau Field that ended with a Bears interception in the end zone on a potential game-tying drive. Chicago now gets its chance at redemption at home, where it has been one of the league’s strongest ATS teams this season.
Oddsmakers have installed Green Bay as a slight road favorite despite mounting injuries, most notably the season-ending loss of Micah Parsons. Cold weather, injury uncertainty, and Chicago’s recent form suggest a tight, physical game where efficiency and ball security will decide who leaves Soldier Field in control of the division race.

The Packers enter Week 16 facing adversity at a critical moment. Green Bay is coming off a loss to Denver and must now navigate a crucial division matchup without star pass rusher Micah Parsons, who was placed on season-ending injured reserve after being tied for third in the NFL in sacks.
Offensively, Jordan Love remains the centerpiece, but injuries surround him. Josh Jacobs is battling a knee injury, while Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks are both listed as questionable. Green Bay’s game plan will need to balance aggressiveness with caution in a hostile environment, especially with Chicago’s defense emphasizing pressure and coverage discipline.
Head coach Matt LaFleur acknowledged the challenge this week, saying, “Nobody’s going to feel sorry for us. We’ve got to find a way and guys have got to rally around one another.” With playoff positioning on the line, Green Bay’s response to adversity may define its season.

Chicago Bears
2025 Record: 10-4 (1st NFC North)
2025 Home Record: 5-1-0
2025 ATS Record: 9-5-0
StatementGames Power Ranking: 9
The Bears enter Saturday night playing some of their best football of the season and holding firm control of the NFC North. Chicago’s offense ranks among the league’s most productive, led by quarterback Caleb Williams and a rushing attack that sits second in the NFL in rushing yards.
However, injuries loom large. Wide receivers Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III have been ruled out, thinning the passing game, while D’Andre Swift and Cole Kmet are listed as questionable. Even so, Chicago’s ability to control the ground game and generate takeaways has fueled its success.
Head coach Ben Johnson has leaned into unity and accountability down the stretch, preaching his “Good, Better, Best” mantra. “There’s something to be said when a group of men are all believing the same thing,” Johnson said this week. In a cold-weather rivalry game with division stakes, that mindset will be tested.
