The Packers come off a bye week at the right time to face a Chicago Bears team that has lost three in a row.
Green Bay is coming off a bye week that followed its 24-14 home loss to Detroit. That loss snapped a season-long four-game winning streak for the Packers. Green Bay is 2-3 over the last five seasons following a bye week and lost last year to Denver (19-17).
The worst thing that could have happened to the Bears was a bye week. Chicago was 4-2 but lost three straight out of the bye week to Washington, Arizona, and New England. The Bears have scored 27 points in the last three games and 12 in the past two while falling to 4-5.

Moneyline: Packers (-230), Bears (+190)
Spread: Green Bay -5.5 (-110)
Total: 40.5
The total was 44.5 as a look-ahead line so the 40.5 is correlated to the Bears’ anemic offense since the bye week (27 points in three games). Money has poured in on Green Bay who is coming off the bye week yet the spread moved from -6.5 to -5.5 in favor of the Packers.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Chicago Bears to go scoreless in the first quarter against the Packers:
“Chicago has scored 27 points in the last three games and gone 0-3 since the bye week, which ruined the vibes after the 4-2 start.
In those three games, Chicago scored zero first-quarter points and 12 second-quarter points. Those slow starts came against the Commanders, Cardinals, and Patriots.
Green Bay is coming off a bye week and has yet to play Chicago this season. It’ll be their first look at Caleb Williams but historically, the Packers have done well in this spot.
The Packers held its last four opponents out of the bye week to 3, 0, 3, and 0 points. I like the chances Chicago goes Under its First Quarter Team Total of 2.5 for +105 odds.”
