Featured game | | Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears
Why the Packers Can Cover
Leading Green Bay is future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He completed 22 of his 34 195-yard passes (64.7%) and his one interception last week in Minnesota. Like this year, Rodgers got off to a slow start to his 2021 season, but in the league he finished as MVP. In his 16 games played a year ago, Rodgers had 366 of his 531 attempts (68.9%) for 4,115 yards and 4 interceptions against which he threw 37. He scored a touchdown and was rated 111.9. He has passed over his 4,000 yards each in the last four seasons.
Also leading the offense is the running back tandem of Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. Together, they had just 15 carries against the Vikings, but had nearly 100 yards rushing and scoring. Jones had five carries for 49 yards (9.8 average), including one explosive 29-yard play. Dillon had 10 carries for 45 yards and a touchdown and led the team with 5 receptions for 46 yards and 2 first down conversions.
Why the Bears Can Cover
Nevertheless, the Packers aren’t the lock to cover the Bears vs. Packers spread. That’s because Chicago is led by quarterback Justin Fields. In his game against the 49ers last week, Fields scored his two touchdowns against his one interception, tallied his 85.7 rating, and added his 28 rushing yards. He’s looking for his 10th straight start with his 20+ yards rushing. In his final game against Green Bay, Fields had two touchdown passes and rushed for 74 yards.
Running back David Montgomery was also a big part of Chicago’s win over San Francisco in the season opener. Montgomery had him 50 yards from scrimmage in Week 1, including 26 receptions. In his five games with the Packers, he was 450 yards from scrimmage. Montgomery also gained his yardage in his seven road games last year when he scrimmaged over 50 yards.
