Bears vs Packers Preview: 3 Player Props and Best Bet for Sunday, December 7

Usually, I dread Bears/Packers week, at least for the last…well…my entire life. I’ve had to endure watching Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers torch the Bears seemingly every chance they had. I don’t know that I’ve seen these teams go at it this late in the season, with first place in the NFC North on the line.

I can, should, and still might go full meatball at some point during this write-up, but let’s get into what I think are the smartest plays for Bears/Packers Week 14.

Caleb Williams (CHI) – Over 30.5 Passing Attempts

We nailed this one against the Eagles, and I like it this week also. Caleb averages 33 pass attempts per game, and last week, his total was 32.5, which he beat by 5.

I have to assume the lower number is partially contributed to the success of the running game, but I find it hard to believe that Caleb won’t eclipse 31 attempts Sunday afternoon.

Jordan Love (GB) – Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns

The Bears’ defense is arguably one of the best in the league, leading in multiple categories, but the middle of that defense is still riddled with injuries. It does look like they’ll get a couple of guys back this week, but they’ll still be without two of their key LBs.

The Bears have given up the 4th most passing touchdowns this season, and their starting CBs are still working their way back. Really like the over with Love here.

Romeo Doubs (GB) – Over 3.5 Receptions

There’s a trend that I’m taking in this game, and I hope you see it by now. I don’t fully trust either team’s run game, despite my Bears fandom and them torching the Eagles D last week. The same goes for GB. I’ve loved Josh Jacobs since he came into the league, and despite the injury problems from his past, he’s been great for Green Bay.

Again, though, the Bears give up catches and yards. Doubs will likely have Nashon Wright on him this weekend for most of the game, and while it’s almost expected at this point that Wright will get a turnover, he also gets burned a lot. Doubs is back from injury, and with a season average of 3.8 catches per game, 3.5 feels like easy money.

Sunday, September 13 at 1:00 PM	Spread	Money	Total
Chicago Bears	-2.5 (-115)	-135	O 45.5 (-106)
Carolina Panthers	+2.5 (-113)	+118	U 44.5 (-110)

Best Bet – Bears +6.5

I know, I know. Bears Fan picks the Bears. Yes, I grew up a Bears fan. My late grandfather, uncle, and brother are all Packer fans. So it’s a fun weekend in the family group chat. The Bears are right up there with the Patriots and Broncos as the NFL’s biggest surprise this year.

Ben Johnson and Mike Vrabel should be in serious consideration for Coach of the Year, but none of that matters until the end of the season. Any team at this point could lose out, and you go into the offseason thinking, “What the hell just happened?”

NOT HAPPENING THIS WEEK!

The Bears are undefeated in 2025 against and IN Green Bay (week 18 last season), and while my heart hopes for a win, my head no doubt thinks they’ll cover this spread. The Bears typically win games by one possession. I used that same logic when I picked them to cover last week in Philly and they dominated.

I don’t know if this week will be the same level of domination, but I really feel that +6.5 is a gimme for a Chicago team that is gelling, getting healthier, and seems to be clicking at the right time. But… It’s the best rivalry in professional sports for a reason, so who really knows.
