Rationale and Analysis
Josh Jacobs over 18.5 attempts is a great bet as the Bears are 25th in rush defense allowing 133.3 yards a game. Jacobs have 5 games this season over 18 attempts this season, and the Bears are more vulnerable in their rushing defense compared to their passing which ranks slightly higher at 23rd, making a full on rushing attack more likely.
Josh Jacobs anytime TD scorer is a great bet as he’s totaled 11 TDs this season, with 7 TDs in the last 7 games. The Bears are one of the worst scoring defense teams in the NFL, allowing 26.4 points a game, which makes this a safe bet.
Total TDs under 5.5 should be a great bet as the Packers are one of the best defensive teams in the NFL, allowing only 21 TDs through Week 13. However, Green Bay struggles to score and rank 12th in total offense. The Bears are terrific offensively, ranking 4th, but the Packers are way too good defensively, potentially holding the team to under 5.5 TDs.
Packers vs Bears Prediction
While both these teams are on a hot-streak, the Bears still have underlying problems defensively. They rank 27th in total defense, allowing 364.6 yards a game and have allowed 31 TDs this season. Looking at this we believe the Packers will pull away with a win, although the score may not exactly be eye-popping.

I cover the National Football League and things cannot get better than that. I always dreamed to play football or basketball professionally since I’m built like a Running Back. But now that I can’t, since I’m technically in the “Unc” age, I thought why not pick a career in sports industry? So here I am, doing what I love, and hoping that the Commanders win the Super Bowl. I give love to players when it’s due, but can be critical about their performances at the same time. Enough about me, now let my articles do all the talking.
