Written before the game and kept as published. Final: Chicago Bears 7, Green Bay Packers 31 — the graded call is above.
Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers is a NFC North game, the first of two meetings, with the rematch in Week 16. The model has the Packers by 4.5 (62%) off a +1.4 to +3.2 rating gap. Division games carry weight the model does not price: head-to-head is the first tiebreaker in the NFC North, so a win here is worth more in January than the standings column shows. One input in this line is not a rating: the Bears are without their usual starting quarterback (Tyson Bagent starts), and our QB-out term moves the line 3.6 points toward the Packers — already inside the number above.
The sharpest unit gap in the game runs one way: the Bears offense grades +2.5 (6th of 32) against a Packers defense at -0.2 (10th) — 2.7 points of separation on our scale, and the single biggest reason the line sits where it does. Going the other direction, the Packers offense (+1.6, 11th) meets the Bears defense (+0.2, 7th), a 1.4-point gap. One more tilt worth noting: special teams favors the Bears +0.5 (13th of 32) to +0.0 (28th).
On the standings side, NFC North games are the ones that decide the tiebreakers. Head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker between two teams in the same division, and division record is the next — so the value of this result is not just the win column. They meet again in Week 16, which makes a sweep the outcome with real leverage on the NFC North race.
Zoom out to the full season and the model projects the Packers at 9.4 wins (favored in 11 of 17) and the Bears at 10.7 (favored in 14) — 1.4 wins apart across the year. By win probability this is the 7th-hardest game on the Packers' schedule and the 3rd-hardest on the Bears'.
One team has owned this series: the Packers are 35-13 in 48 regular-season meetings since 2002. They have also met 2 times in the playoffs. They last met in 2025: Bears won 22-16 in December. Over their last 4 meetings the Packers are 2-2. Worth saying plainly — the model does not know any of that. It reads 2026 ratings and nothing else, so a lopsided series is a story, not a number on this page.
Does the model earn this number? In 666 of the 3266 walk-forward games it has been graded on (2013-2024, no market line used), it landed in the 60-65% range. Those favorites went 59%. The 62% on the Packers here sits in that same band, and the history runs slightly behind the claim.
