2015 NFL Week 1 Packers vs. Bears Picks & Predictions
By Anthony Rome
Oddsmakers are expecting a high-scoring game today at Solider Field in Chicago but will the under cash for bettors when the Packers visit the Bears at 1:00PM ET?
According to oddsmakers from online sports book GT Bets, the Packers are 6.5-point road favorites over the Bears after opening as a 5-point favorite. As for the total, it opened at 50 but has been bet down a full point to 49.
The Packers will be without Jordy Nelson (ACL/season) and the Bears could be without their leading receiver in Alshon Jeffery, who is questionable with a calf injury. Despite the firepower in Green Bay's passing game, look for both teams to lean on running backs Eddie Lacy and Matt Forte to control the pace of the game.
The under is 6-2 in the last eight meetings between these two teams in Chicago and 11-4 in the last 15 meetings overall.
