The Chicago Bears are gearing up for a Week 5 divisional showdown against the Green Bay Packers, where Chicago is looking for its third straight win over Green Bay since Ben Johnson took over as head coach.
The Bears are coming off a dominant 23-12 win over the New York Jets, where the offense controlled time of possession for roughly 45 minutes that included 89 total plays. In fact, Chicago had more first downs (34) than the Jets had total offensive plays (32). The Bears run game had an impressive showing with 232 yards on the ground, including 146 yards and two touchdowns from Kyle Monangai. Meanwhile, Chicago's defense continued its dominant showing for the third straight game holding New York to just 12 points.
Meanwhile, the Packers are coming
off a narrow 17-14 win over the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who were down to their backup quarterback in Jalon Daniels. But Green Bay was unable to capitalize with a commanding win, and their run game continued to struggle as they amassed just 86 yards and remain the league's worst run game. In the end, the Packers were able to overcome two fourth-quarter turnovers to escape Tampa with a win to return to .500.
Following another dominant win, the Bears have an opportunity to win their third straight and keep pace in the NFC North in a key divisional game. But what do oddsmakers think about this NFC North rivalry matchup?
