🐻 Chicago Bears: Key Storylines
✅ Caleb Williams’ Growth
Chicago’s offense is top‑10 in scoring (26.1 PPG) and top‑5 in total yards—a massive leap from last season. Williams has been dynamic, but his late end‑zone interception sealed the loss in the last meeting. How he responds is the central question.
✅ Momentum
The Bears have won six of their last seven and were the NFC’s hottest team before the Week 14 loss at Lambeau.
✅ Home‑Field Edge
Cold, windy Soldier Field conditions are expected—classic Bears weather.
✅ Season Leaders
Green Bay Packers
- Jordan Love: 3,304 passing yards
- Josh Jacobs: 890 rushing yards, 13 TD
- Romeo Doubs: 578 receiving yards
- Edgerrin Cooper: 104 tackles
- Micah Parsons: 13 sacks (IR)
Chicago Bears
- Caleb Williams: 3,150 passing yards
- D’Andre Swift: 935 rushing yards, 7 TD
- Rome Odunze: 661 receiving yards, 6 TD
- Tremaine Edmunds: 89 tackles
- Montez Sweat: 9 sacks
📊 Prediction
- It’s pretty sad that both of these teams are still fighting for the playoffs at 10 wins while the Bucs, Panthers and Eagles are sitting with only 7.
- We know of the devastating injury that the Packers sustained last week with Micah Parsons, but it’s not like the Bears are not banged up either with their best wide receiver in Rome Odunze on the shelf.
- The Packers rank 3rd in offensive EPA to the Bears ranking 9th. The Bears are the better rushing team while the Packers are the better passing team.
- The Bears have the better defense ranking 13th in EPA to the Packers ranking 16th. The Packers ironically are better at defending the rush while the Bears are better at defending the pass.
- For me, this is more about a “what have you done for me lately type game.” Since week eight, the Bears rank 7th in offensive EPA while the Packers still sit at third. On defense, this is where the Bears have improved. Since week 11, this team has gotten healthier on D, and they rank 9th in defensive EPA to the Packers ranking 20th.
- My power ratings have the Packers as the slightly better team, but the spot I think really screams Bears.
- This Chicago team were one play away in Green Bay from a touchdown to at least tie or maybe win that game.
- The Bears actually beat the Packers in the box score that day. I think that with NFL referee Alex Kemp who is on a historic favorites run going 27-3 straight up (stats courtesy of @NFLRefStats1), the Bears will have more edges then just their motivation and play on the field. Take Da Bears.
Bears ML -115 – 2 stars
Teaser:
- Chargers to +8 with the Lions to -1 – 2 stars – The Chargers are playing for something while the Cowboys are pretty much shot when it comes to making the playoffs. The Steelers can afford to lose this game while the Lions cannot.
