GREEN BAY @ CHICAGO (CHI -1.5, 45.5)
1H UNDER 23.5
This is a division game with a lot on the line. Green Bay, of course, has beaten Chicago in 12 of the last 13 meetings. The last several meetings played late in a season have been low-scoring, close games. We expect a similar outcome tonight.
The Packers, despite the loss of Micah Parsons, have one of the best defenses in the NFL. The Packers lead the NFL in scoring defense in the first half. They allow 7.7 first half points this season (No. 1).
In the first meeting with the Bears this season, Green Bay held Chicago to a single field goal. In fact, the Packers have seen the Under 23.5 cash in 7 of their last 10 games.
While Chicago's defense isn't as strong, the Bears do lead the NFL in takeaways. They only rank 19th in first half points allowed, but like Green Bay, the 1H Under 23.5 has cashed in 7 of their last 10 games.
In a cold-weather night game with some winds expected, look for both teams to start slowly like they did in Game 1 this year and in last year's game in Chicago (in November) when the Bears led at the half 10-7.
