The Chicago Bears travel to Green Bay to take on their hated division rivals on Sunday afternoon. It’s difficult to imagine a much sweeter way to move to 4-1 than by knocking the Packers to 2-3 on their home turf.
The Bears might not have quarterback Caleb Williams at their disposal, but that hasn’t stopped them from going 2-0 without him (with two different quarterbacks under center) over the past two weeks.
The narrative surrounding Bears head coach Ben Johnson not having a win without a former first-overall pick at quarterback feels like a distant memory, as their two most recent wins featured former undrafted players at QB. How’s that for a rebuttal?
Meanwhile, the Packers look directionless right now. They’ve barely eked out two wins, and their two losses have been blowouts. It might be too early to call them dead, but a loss on Sunday would be a massive blow.
Johnson has been a thorn in Packers head coach Matt LaFleur’s side since becoming the Lions’ offensive coordinator in 2022. He holds a 7-2 record against Green Bay over that span.
The oddsmakers like his chances of betting that record on Sunday. The Bears are currently 2.5- point favorites (according to DraftKings Sportsbook). This is the first time Chicago is favored at Lambeau since the 2006 season opener.
