Premium Pick

Chicago is sneaking up on the league. They are a silent 9-4 on the season, as all the attention in the NFC is focused on LA and New Orleans. The Bears are 6-1 over their last seven games and a lot of it is on the defense. The Chicago defense has forced 20 turnovers in their last eight games and is allowing 16 points per game in their last seven. They blew a big lead in the season opener vs. Green Bay so they also have a score to settle here. The Packers parted ways with Mike McCarthy and I think they got a one-game spike at home vs. lowly Atlanta. Aaron Rogers has been under fire every game and has thrown for 182 yards or less in three of his last five. The Bears stuffed the Rams here last week, holding the most potent offense in the league to just 6 points. Consider that the Rams had scored 30+ points in 10 of their 12 games prior to playing Chicago. LA was averaging over 37 points per game in the second-half of the season coming into last week's game. And this Bears defense held them to 6. Chicago is 5-0 ATS as a home favorite on the season, while the Packers are 0-6 SU on the road covering just once. Lay the points with Chicago.
