The Chicago Bears welcome the Green Bay Packers into Solider Field tonight for a Monday Night Football clash featuring undefeated teams. ESPN lucked out, as this game wasn't expected to carry the expectations it now does. The Bears look revitalized, while the Packers appear to be every bit the Super Bowl contender. Green Bay is a 3 point road favorite tonight, with a total of 46 points expected tonight. This Monday Night football game starts at 8:35 EDT.
Chicago is off to their best start since 2006, the last time the Bears made it to the Super Bowl. Optimism is high because the Bears appear to finally have an offense. Offensive Coordinator Mike Martz has instilled an offense that is averaging 23 PPG to start the season. QB Jay Cutler looks very impressive in this offense, as he's competing nearly 70% of his passes for 650 YDS passing this season. Most importantly, Cutler has 5 TD's to only 1 INT for a QB Rating of 121.2 this year. As long as Cutler avoids the turnovers, the Bears are likely going to be in a position to win several games. Defensively, the Bears are allowing 17 PPG, and appear to be back to their hard hitting ways. This Bears defense will have quite the test tonight, as they take on one of the most prolific offenses in the NFL. The Bears are only 7-18-2 ATS in their past 27 games against teams with a winning record. Chicago has struggled with the Packers of late, going 0-4 ATS in their past 4 meetings.
The Bears are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games as an underdog. The Under is 6-1 in the Bears last 7 games on grass.
Green Bay is 2-0 both SU and ATS this season, as they've been one of the most impressive teams in the NFL this year. The Packers are coming off a 27 point blowout win over Buffalo, as the Packers offense led the way. QB Aaron Rodgers is expected to challenge for NFL MVP this year, as he's easily the franchise player for Green Bay. Rodgers was dynamic in the preseason, and he's off to another quick start this year. Rodgers has 4 TD's passes already this year, and he will look to add to that tonight on the road in front of a national audience. Rodgers and the Packers passing game is picking up the slack of a running attack that is coping with the loss of RB Ryan Grant. Defensively, the Packers are only allowing 13.5 PPG, and if that continues Green Bay very well might win another Super Bowl. KR Jordy Nelson has been an unsung hero for this Packers team, as he is averaging 31 yards per return this year which is 2nd best in the NFL. Green Bay has been dominant when playing in Chicago, going 9-2 ATS in their past 11 games at Soldier Field.
The Packers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite. The Over is 25-9 in the Packers last 34 games following a ATS win.
Pregame.com projects the final score to be 30-24 SU in favor of the Green Bay Packers. the Over 46 points is the Total of the Day!
