The Preview
This is a “rubber match” after the teams split their regular-season series. Both teams are limping into the playoffs: the Bears lost their last two games, while the Packers ended the season on a four-game skid.5
1. Caleb Williams vs. Playoff Pressure
The 2024 No. 1 overall pick is making his playoff debut. While he’s been spectacular at times (throwing for nearly 4,000 yards), rookie/second-year QBs often struggle in their first postseason start. Williams did, however, lead a dramatic 10-point comeback to beat the Packers in OT just three weeks ago.
2. Jordan Love’s Experience
Jordan Love has been here before. Despite Green Bay’s recent struggles, Love remains efficient (23 TDs, 6 INTs) and has a 4-2 career record against Chicago.6 The Packers’ offense relies on a healthy Josh Jacobs and explosive plays from Christian Watson and Jayden Reed.7+1
3. Home Field & Weather
The Bears are the #2 seed for a reason; they’ve won 6 of their last 7 at home.8 Soldier Field in January is notoriously difficult for visiting teams, especially with windy conditions that could turn this into a ground-and-pound game between D’Andre Swift and Josh Jacobs.
The Picks
| Category | Pick | Reasoning |
| Spread | Bears +1.5 | Home divisional underdogs in the playoffs are historically strong. Chicago’s defense has been more consistent at home. |
| Total | Under 44.5 | Between the cold Chicago wind and the high stakes, expect a conservative, defensive-minded battle. |
| Moneyline | Bears | Most analysts expect a one-score game. Caleb Williams finding DJ Moore late has been a theme all year. |
Score Prediction: Bears 23, Packers 20
