Green Bay clings to a division lead, but Chicago is hot, heading into the 198th edition of Bears-Packers Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field. Green Bay beat Chicago earlier this season as an underdog, but it's favored by better than a field goal for this one.

<h2>
Bears vs. Packers Set-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Chicago looked about dead a few weeks ago but suddenly has won three straight, after beating Dallas last Thursday night 31-24. The Bears, as three-point home dogs, spotted the Cowboys the first seven points of the game, then used a 24-0 run spanning the halves to take control. Chicago later gave up the last ten meaningless points of the game to create a slightly misleading final score.
</p>
<p>
On the night, the Bears out-rushed Dallas 151-82 and got four total touchdowns from quarterback Mitch Trubisky.
</p>
<p>
Two weeks ago, Chicago came from behind to win at Detroit 24-20, and three weeks ago, the Bears defeated the Giants 19-14.
</p>
<p>
After struggling most of this season offensively, Chicago is averaging 379 yards per game over its last three games.
</p>
<p>
At 7-6 overall, the Bears trail first-place Green Bay by three games in the NFC North, and they're two games behind Minnesota in the battle for the second NFC wild-card spot. So it's basically do-or-die time for Chicago, as far as the playoffs are concerned.

<p>
The Packers, meanwhile, are 2-0 since looking terrible in that loss out at San Francisco three weeks ago. Green Bay then beat the Giants in New Jersey 31-13, and last week held off Washington 20-15.
</p>
<p>
The Packers jumped out to a 14-0 first-quarter lead on the Redskins last week and held on from there. But they didn't cover as 13-point favorites.
</p>
<p>
Green Bay ran the ball for 174 yards on Washington, although that iffy Packers defense gave up 121 yards on the ground.
</p>
<p>
At 10-3 overall, the Packers lead the NFC North by one game over second-place Minnesota. Green Bay also owns the No. 2 spot in the NFC playoff standings, one game behind the top-seeded 49ers and only a conference tie-breaker ahead of No. 3 New Orleans. So the Packers are only a slip-up or two away from trouble, as far as the playoffs are concerned.

<h2>

Green Bay owns the upper hand in the recent rivalry with Chicago, winning six of the last seven meetings SU, going 4-3 ATS along the way. Most recently, back in Week 1 of this season, the Packers beat the Bears 10-3 at Soldier Field.
</p>
<p>
Green Bay spotted Chicago the first three points of that game, then scored the final 10 for the victory. The Bears had a chance to tie the game late, but Trubisky threw a bad interception in the Packers' end zone with two minutes to go.
</p>
<p>
Green Bay won outright that night as a three-point dog, and the game played way under a total of 47, as the teams combined for just 467 yards of total offense.

Bears at Packers Prediction 12/15/19

Green Bay owns the edge on offense but not as much as of late. In fact, the Packers have been held under 200 total yards twice in their last five games and managed just 213 against Chicago earlier this season. Meanwhile, the Bears own a significant edge on defense, and their offense is better recently. Also, these teams have played a bunch of close games over recent seasons. We're betting Chicago here, and won't be surprised if the Bears pull the outright upset.
