The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears will meet for the first time this season in Week 11.

The Bears were hoping that this game would have playoff implications, but after an abysmal 4-5 start that has resulted in the firing of offensive coordinator, Shane Waldron, they're just hoping to see some level of improvement from their offense. Playoffs are out of the question for Chicago.

Meanwhile, the Packers are doing their best to hang on to a wild card spot in the NFC. At 6-3, they currently have a one-game lead over the San Francisco 49ers for the final playoff berth. A win against the Bears on Sunday would go a long way in securing their playoff chances.

Let's take a look at everything you need to know to bet on this NFC North showdown.

Packers vs. Bears Key Players to Watch

Green Bay Packers

Jordan Love: The Packers quarterback has largely had a successful 2024 campaign, but he needs to find a way to limit the interceptions. He has thrown 10 interceptions in seven games, putting his defense in a bad spot on a weekly basis. If he can fix that issue, the sky is the limit for the Packers.

Chicago Bears

Caleb Williams: The Bears' rookie quarterback has had a rough first year in the NFL. He's completed only 60.5% of passes while averaging just 198.3 yards per game. That's a bad outcome for a quarterback who was supposedly entering the best situation a No. 1 overall pick has ever entered in recent history. We'll see if the firing of his offensive coordinator will change things for the better.

Packers vs. Bears Prediction and Pick

In this week's edition of the "Road to 272 Bets", I broke down why I'm laying the points with the Packers:

I simply can't bet on this Bears team right now. There's only one word to describe their offense; broken. They're averaging 3.7 yards per play and 9.0 points over their last three games. Whether it's coaching, play-calling, or quarterback play is up for debate, but the most likely answer is all three.

The Packers are fresh off their BYE week and enter Week 11 ranking fourth in the NFL in Net Yards per Play at +0.8, well above the Bears who are second last at -1.1. Even a strong secondary isn't enough to save this Bears team.

I'll lay the points on the Packers in this NFC North duel.

Pick: Packers -6.5 (-105)
