Jordan Love and the Packers are a heavy favorite (-10), and for good reason. Bears rookie QB Caleb Williams is running for his life weekly, and their 10-game losing streak makes them look more like a meme than a football team. Expect the Packers to show no mercy at Lambeau as they prepare for the postseason while sending the Bears into a long offseason.

Let’s dive into the NFL predictions that matter: Green Bay to cover and win outright, and why this game won’t sniff 41 points.

Best 3 NFL Picks for the Bears vs Packers

1. Packers -10 / ML (-475)

The Packers are locked in at Lambeau, going 6-2 at home this season and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 against the Bears. Matt LaFleur has a knack for bouncing back after losses, boasting a 19-11 ATS record after a straight-up defeat.

Meanwhile, Chicago hasn’t won on the road in three calendar years, and No. 1 pick Caleb Williams could make NFL news. He already has 67 sacks this season — the fourth-most in NFL history. Unless Chicago brings extra linemen, Williams might be in for another long afternoon.

Green Bay’s defense is better than its numbers suggest, and the Packers’ offense has enough firepower to put this one away early. This isn’t just a win for Green Bay; it’s a statement as they gear up for the playoffs and beat the NFL odds.

2. Total: Under 41

Betting the under feels as automatic as a Williams sack these days. Chicago hasn’t scored more than 20 points in a regulation game for 10 straight weeks, and its offense looks lost despite a talented receiving corps. Green Bay’s offense, led by Jordan Love, has been serviceable, but it doesn’t need to light up the scoreboard to win here.

The Bears’ defense has actually been solid in recent weeks, allowing fewer than 20 points in two of their last three games. Combine that with Chicago’s inability to move the ball and Green Bay’s likely conservative second-half approach, and the Under should cruise in NFL expert picks.

Bet This Pick: Under 41

 

3. Josh Jacobs 2+ Touchdowns

Josh Jacobs has been the Packers’ offensive engine all season, and Week 18 against the Bears sets up perfectly for him to deliver another monster performance. He’s already scored in seven straight games, tying Paul Hornung’s franchise record, and breaking that mark with flair (read: 2+ touchdowns) seems like a worthwhile NFL bet online.

Why? Because the Packers love feeding Jacobs in high-stakes games like a kid with Prader–Willi. They’re vying for the No. 6 seed and avoiding a trip to Philadelphia in the Wild Card round, meaning LaFleur isn’t about to dial back his star running back’s workload.

Expect Jacobs to see 20+ touches in a game where Green Bay’s strategy will be pounding the ball and controlling the clock.

Jacobs has scored 11 touchdowns in his last seven games and racked up a rushing TD against the Bears in their first meeting. Per NFL betting trends, Chicago’s defense is no match for Green Bay’s ground attack, ranking in the bottom 10 for rushing yards and touchdowns allowed.

With the Packers leaning on their offensive line dominance and Jacobs in record-breaking form, this feels like a multi-touchdown game for the star back.

Bet on Josh Jacobs 2+ touchdowns (+250)
