For the 205th time, the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers will reunite for a rivalry renewal at Lambeau Field in primetime. The Packers have'this series for pretty much a decade plus. Aaron Rodgers is 23-5 straight up, and 21-7 against the spread in his career against Chicago, and Green Bay has won and covered the last six meetings.
To say this rivalry has been one-sided would be an understatement. However, Week 1’s unexpected results could suggest a change is on the horizon. The Packers clearly missed departed receiver Davante Adams in a discouraging loss to the Minnesota Vikings. While the Bears silenced the critics for at least one week by upsetting the San Francisco 49ers on a wet and sloppy day at Soldier Field.
Are the Bears better than we thought they were? Are the Packers in trouble? We’ll learn a lot about both of these squads during Sunday Night Football. Let’s break this rivalry game down.
