Bears–Packers Will Decide NFC North Lead at Lambeau on Sunday

The outcome carries significant playoff‑probability swings for both teams, according to NFL research shared this week.

Overview

  • Kickoff is 3:25 p.m. CT at Lambeau Field, with FOX’s top crew of Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady on the call.
  • Sportsbooks list Chicago around +6.5 with a total near 44.5, and compiled expert picks overwhelmingly favor Green Bay 40–7.
  • Chicago will be without receiver Rome Odunze due to a foot injury, while Green Bay’s Micah Parsons enters with 12.5 sacks as a central matchup factor.
  • Per NFL research reported by Heavy, a Bears win would raise their playoff odds from 74% to 90% (loss to 67%); a Packers win would move theirs from 88% to 94% (loss to 75%).
  • Turnovers loom large as the Bears lead the league in interceptions and fumble recoveries, while the Packers rank first in fewest giveaways.
