This is a huge spot for the Packers as they punch their ticket to the playoffs with a win. I'm sure that they have been reminded of the 18 penalties and punt return for a TD that robbed them of a win in Chicago early in the season, or they would already be in the playoffs. They also have the recent memory of Philadelphia coming back with 28 points in less than eight minutes vs. the Giants, so this won't be get a lead and take a knee. This will be vintage Packers offense vs. a team that has nothing to play for here. I expect the Packers to score early and often in this game. The Bears have played each of their last five games to the OVER, and all of their last eight January games have gone OVER as well. The Packers offense knows how to carry momentum. After gaining 350+ in their last game they are 17-6 to the OVER in their next game. Under Mike McCarthy, the Pack is a perfect 7-0 OVER as a home favorite of 7.5 to 10 points and 11-3 OVER at home to a total in between 38.5 and 42. This one goes OVER the total.
