Overview
- Chicago enters 9-3 with a half‑game lead over Green Bay at 8-3-1, with kickoff set for Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET at Lambeau Field.
- Sportsbooks list the Packers around -6.5, and CBS-reported simulations project Green Bay near 67% to win the division with a victory, versus about 70% for Chicago if it wins.
- Green Bay lost DT Devonte Wyatt for the season to an ankle injury, while Bears WR Rome Odunze’s availability is in serious doubt after missed practices; Packers WR Jayden Reed’s return remains uncertain.
- Chicago’s defense leads the NFL in interceptions (17), takeaways (26) and turnover margin (+17), posing a ball-security test for Jordan Love, who has three interceptions all season and none in his last four games.
- A coaching subplot lingers after Ben Johnson’s January quip about Matt LaFleur, with Packers OC Adam Stenavich saying this week he took the comment “personal.”
