Can Packers Defy the NFL Odds for Week 10 Against the Bears?

Can Packers Defy the NFL Odds for Week 10 Against the Bears?

The Green Bay Packers are in the unusual position of hoping to break a three-game losing streak when they head to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears. Of course, they’re also in the unusual position of missing their starting quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, who is out with a fractured collarbone, which is why they come in as the NFL odds underdog for this one. Green Bay lost at home on Monday Night Football to Detroit, 30-17 last week, while the Bears are coming off their bye week. Sitting at 3-5, Chicago lost to New Orleans their last time out, 20-12. Take a look at our NFL lines preview of the latest installment of one of the oldest rivalries in the history of the league.

Why should you consider the Packers NFL Odds?

The main issue that Green Bay has right now, as one would expect, is that their passing offense is not getting the production that it needs for the team to succeed. Backup quarterback Brett Hundley has played decently; against Detroit, he put up 245 yards, although many of those came in the fourth period when the Lions had gone with a prevent alignment. The Lions were able to focus on stopping the run and daring Hundley to pass, and they limited Aaron Jones to just 12 yards on five attempts. The Packers’ defense was already causing them issues. Their secondary does not cover well, and their pass rush is not strong enough to keep opposing quarterbacks from sitting in the pocket and picking them apart. Matthew Stafford threw for 353 yards in the Lions’ win on Monday. The issues have more to do with injuries than execution at this point, as Green Bay is missing two starting cornerbacks. If you like the Packers, you see their defense coming together to execute against rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky and the offense finding more room to operate against the Bears.

Why should you consider the Bears NFL Odds?

Mitch Trubisky is going through some of the same growing pains that Hundley is for Green Bay, but the difference is that Trubisky is the starter and the designated quarterback of the future in Chicago. Against New Orleans — a team that is definitely not known for a strong pass defense — Trubisky went just 14 for 32 for 164 yards and a pick. The offense goes through tailback Jordan Howard right now, who picked up 102 yards in the loss to New Orleans. The hope for Chicago is that they will find open receivers down the field against Green Bay — and that Trubisky will be able to hit them. The Bears are favorites at the NFL Odds for Week 10. Holding the New Orleans offense to 20 points was actually a pretty good accomplishment for the Chicago defense. They kept Drew Brees from throwing a touchdown pass and given the statistical season that he is having, that’s solid defense. The Bears have a good secondary, and they mount a solid pass rush. However, they can’t be expected to win games by themselves — the Bears need more production out of Trubisky and the rest of the offense if they want to climb out of the cellar in the NFC North.

Expert Pick and Final Score Prediction

The Bears have a budding quarterback prospect in Trubisky, but he is struggling to mount drives so far. The Packers also have a quarterback with a lot of potential in Hundley, but he isn’t moving the team effectively either. The Bears actually have the better defense right now, so I like Chicago to win a low-scoring struggle by the score of 16-13. I don’t see the Bears coming on to contend in the North, but I do see them putting together a better second half of the season as Trubisky continues to develop.
