The Green Bay Packers are 7-1 SU and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games against the Chicago Bears. That streak of success could be in jeopardy this Sunday when the Packers visit the Bears without Aaron Rodgers under center.
The Packers fell to 0-3 SU and ATS over their last three games without Rodgers in Monday night’s 30-17 loss to the Detroit Lions. Green Bay ranks 25th in the NFL in total defense, allowing 357.4 yards per game, and has allowed 26 points per game over its last seven games. This problem was masked when Rodgers was running the offense and winning shootouts, but it is now front and center.
Chicago returns from its bye week on a 4-0 ATS run that includes upset wins over Baltimore and Carolina. Mitch Trubisky has been limited to a game-manager role to this point with only 20 passing attempts and 128 passing yards per game, but perhaps the week off to prepare will give him a little more to do this week. The Bears are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games at home.
