Packers open as slight favorites

Green Bay is a slight 1-point road favorite at Soldier Field on Saturday, although the Bears are chalk at some sportsbooks. Jordan Love is set to return after sustaining a concussion in a Week 16 loss to Chicago. Veteran back Josh Jacobs and stalwart right tackle Zach Tom are also expected to be ready to go.

However, the Packers will still be missing Micah Parsons, who suffered a season-ending torn ACL in mid-December. Meanwhile, Ben Johnson's club is banged up at cornerback with the statuses of Kyler Gordon and C.J. Gardner-Johnson still up in the air. Saturday night's game on Prime Video has a 45.5-point OVER/UNDER.

Head coaching feud heats up

Ben Johnson took a shot at Matt Lafleur at his introductory press conference at Chicago’s head coach last winter, saying, “To be quite frank with you, I kind of enjoyed beating Matt LaFleur twice a year.” Following a hardfought 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday, Johnson upped the ante, sub-tweeting the Packers HC for sitting his players in a 16-3 defeat to the Vikings in the season finale.

“Some teams, they rest their starters. We don’t. We play football,” he said.

Ancient rivalry

Saturday's Bears-Packers matchup will be the 212th including playoffs - most in NFL history. Not that it matters, but Green Bay holds the all-time series lead at 109-96-6. This will also be the first postseason meeting between the two clubs since the 2010 NFC Championship, a 21-14 Green Bay victory at Soldier Field.

Green Bay has won 12 of the last 14 games against the Bears. Matt LaFleur has been on the sidelines for all 12 of those victories but he's only 3-5 all-time in the playoffs.

Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers Picks

In their two previous meetings this year, Caleb Williams and the Bears scored a total of three points in the first half against Green Bay. While the loss of Micah Parson can't be underestimated, many people forget the Packers were 9-4-1 when Jordan Love went down with injury.

With their starting quarterback and running back both rested and ready to go, we like Green Bay (-110) to defeat their NFC North rivals yet again with the UNDER 45.5.
