Despite the fact that Chicago lost its final two games of the season against the 49ers and the Lions, it has been more consistent over the season.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><p>Furthermore, the Packers just ended their regular season on a 4-game losing streak, which also includes a loss on the road to the Bears. It will be similar territory for Green Bay as they take on their arch rivals once again at Soldier Field in Chicago, and the home-field advantage of a playoff game could swing the tie in favor of the Bears.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Early total lean: Under 45.5<\/h3><p>We are taking the under 45.5 total points in this one, as divisional rivalry games are often closely fought games. Additionally, the Packers are just outside the top 10 in terms of scoring defense, giving up around 21 points per game, whereas the Bears are giving up roughly 24.5 points per game.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Having said that, 3 of the Bears&rsquo; last 4 games have not produced totals over 45.5 points, while 2 of the Packers&rsquo; last 4 games have had totals under 45.5 points. Furthermore, the early weather forecast is on the milder side during game time; however, windy conditions could affect the passing and kicking game.&nbsp;<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Early player prop: Caleb Williams Over 31.5 Pass Attempts (-128)<\/h3><p>We are taking Caleb Williams to attempt over 31.5 passes in the upcoming game against the Packers. In both the meetings between the Bears and Packers this season, Williams attempted 35 and 34 pass attempts.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Moreover, Williams has consistently attempted 32 or more passes in&nbsp; 4 of his last 5 games this season. Under head coach Ben Johnson, the Bears&rsquo; pass game has flourished of late, and with edge rusher Micah Parsons no longer a threat, Williams should have more time on his hands.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Trevon Diggs.
