Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's NFL odds around the Bears vs. Packers odds and make our expert NFL picks and predictions for the best bets.
Chicago picked up its fifth straight win 24-15 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Black Friday, covering as a 7.5-point road underdog as the Under (43) hit. Bears RB duo of Kyle Monangai and D'Andre Swift combined for 255 rushing yards and 2 rushing TDs. The Bears, who haven't won the NFC North since 2018, forced 2 third quarter turnovers and held the Eagles to just 87 rushing yards.
Green Bay beat the Detroit Lions 31-24 on Thanksgiving, covering as a 3-point road underdog with the Over (48) hitting. QB Jordan Love finished with 4 passing TDs, including back-to-back drives with a TD pass on fourth down in the second quarter that helped the Packers build a lead. The Packers held the Lions to 0-for-2 on fourth downs.

Bears at Packers picks and predictions
Prediction
Packers 21, Bears 10
Moneyline
PASS.
I lean toward the Packers to cover as -300 favorites, but with such a questionable offense, they are not worth the risk of backing on the moneyline against this red-hot Bears squad. Pass here and bet on the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
PACKERS -6.5 (-115).
Green Bay is much better defensively than the Bears, ranking top-6 in total yards and points allowed per game, while Chicago is bottom-10 in both categories. Furthermore, the Packers have the third-best TD percentage in the red zone while being top-10 in red zone attempts per game. On the other side, the Bears give up one of the highest red zone TD percentages to opponents.
This is a very slight lean as the Bears have a top rushing offense, and because the Bears are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games
Over/Under
BET UNDER 44 (-110).
If the Bears are going to keep this one close, it has to be a run-heavy game, especially on such a cold and potentially windy day where passing could prove to be difficult. If the Packers want to win this one, their defense has to dominate, meaning that the Under is safer either way. Look for Green Bay's defense to stun this Bears offense early and make it hard for them to recover.
The Under is 3-1 in Chicago's last 4 games overall and 3-0 in Green Bay's last 3 home games. The Under has also hit in 2 of the last 3 matchups between these squads.
