Head to head

The longer bar is the better unit, and it takes its team's colour. A long coloured bar against a short grey one is where a side has the edge.

The tale of the tape

This is a mismatch when Green Bay has the ball. The Bears pass defense ranks 1st against a Packers passing game at 15th, and the Bears are 1st on third down against a Packers third-down offense that ranks 32nd. Since 2015, teams with a passing edge this big won 60% of the time but covered only 48%, because the line already knows. The ground offers little: the Packers ran the 5th-most in the league last year, but their run game ranks 32nd, against a Bears run defense nearly as bad at 30th. Green Bay's answer is Jordan Love in a clean pocket, where he has been the best of 36 quarterbacks. The catch is a line that ranks 24th at keeping him clean, facing a Bears pass rush at 14th. If Love gets time, that is where the game flips.

Chicago's best unit is its passing game, 6th, against a Packers pass defense that ranks 10th, and 18th once you account for the passing games it has faced. The Packers are also 30th on third down. What blunts the Bears is the Packers takeaway defense, 5th, against Bears ball security at 14th, and a Bears red-zone offense that ranks 29th. D'Andre Swift is the steady part: 50+ rushing yards in 8 of his last 10 road games. For the bet, the history and the angles disagree on the side. Our picks on this game are on the card, behind the Betting Pass.
