Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers odds opened at Packers -3 but the line has since moved to -5 at some online sportsbooks. Sportsbetting.com still offered the line at Green Bay -4 ½. The Packers were getting around 75 percent of the betting action in this game.
In this series the away team has gone 6-4 and Chicago has gone 7-3. Green Bay's 3 wins have all been by more than the current spread. While Chicago won by 3 points in an overtime finish the last time these two teams met, typically these two teams do not play close games with most won by a touchdown and 6 of the last 10 won by blowouts. The home team has won the last three in this series. Green Bay lost the last meeting by 3 points in overtime and blew away Chicago in the previous game (played in Green Bay).
From NFL.com:
The Packers made their transition to the defensive scheme under veteran coordinator Dom Capers look smooth in the preseason. Green Bay is the only team in the NFC North to use the system, which the Packers hope gives them an edge over divisional foes. However, players like Aaron Kampman will have to show a position switch from defensive end to linebacker can be handled at a high level.
Devin Hester is supposed to be Cutler's deep threat, but is still working on refining his route running skills. He caught seven balls for 60 yards in three preseason games, but also looked rough at times. TE Greg Olson could become Cutler's top target, but someone from the young receiving corps has to step up for the passing game to really succeed.
The Bears are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games as a road underdog of 3.5-10.0.
The Packers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. NFC North.
Packers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games in September.
