The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears will meet at Lambeau Field in Week 14, and Sunday's contest between the NFC North rivals is the biggest game of the season for both teams.
Chicago and Green Bay are the top teams in the division, with the Bears at 9-3 and the Packers at 8-3-1. The winner of the Week 14 matchup will be in first place in the NFC North, so a lot is on the line at Lambeau this weekend.
That said, let's take a look at the expert picks for this highly anticipated NFC North contest. Both Chicago and Green Bay are on winning streaks, so someone will be handed a defeat for the first time in a few weeks.
NFL Week 14 picks: Packers vs. Bears
Bill Bender, AllSportsPeople: Packers 28, Bears 20
Bender: "It's the best game of the week. This is the ultimate prove-it game for Chicago, which has been a great underdog this season at 5-2 ATS and 5-2 S/U. If the protection for Caleb Williams is there, then the Bears can score a second straight win at Lambeau Field. That would also take command of the NFC North. Last year's meetings were decided by a combined total of three points. The Packers are 2-4 ATS at home. How much does losing Devonte Wyatt (ankle) for the season impact Green Bay's interior defense? That's something to watch closely after the Bears' impressive performance against the Eagles in Week 13."
Lou Scataglia, NFL Spin Zone: Packers 24, Bears 22
Scataglia: "In today’s NFL, especially with it being this late in the season, the QB matchup is something huge that can decide this, so I would give the nod to the Packers and Jordan Love. The Packers also have to win enough to leap over the Bears in the standings."
Matt Johnson, Sportsnaut: Packers 28, Bears 27
Johnson: "There’s no matchup on the NFL schedule this week we’re more excited to see than this one. You can bet that the Green Bay Packers will focus on running the football against a defense that has allowed over 130 rushing yards per game this season with a 5.2 yards-per-carry average. On the other side, Ben Johnson has been orchestrating the best rushing offense in the NFL over the last six weeks. Green Bay also just lost Devonte Wyatt to a season-ending injury. In a battle to the finish, we’re giving the slight edge to the better quarterback who is playing at home."
Ali Bhanpuri, NFL.com: Bears 24, Packers 21
Bhanpuri: "Because of Caleb Williams. I accept that the polarizing passer will likely sail some throws and brick a couple layups in the frigid Wisconsin air this weekend. But those misses ultimately won't matter if he continues to show up in the biggest moments, as he has so many times this season. My growing confidence in No. 18 is why I expect him to accomplish on Sunday what no other Bears starting QB has been able to in the 18 seasons since the franchise last clinched the conference title: Earn career win No. 2 at Lambeau Field."
