Pick by FOX Sports Betting Analyst Jason McIntyre:
The Packers were thumped by the Vikings 23-7, but Aaron Rodgers didn’t have his starting tackles or his top WR, Allen Lazard.
Last year, the Packers were humiliated in the opener by New Orleans 38-3 and bounced back to pound the Lions to start a seven-game win streak. This is a great bounce-back spot against a below-average Bears team. Justin Fields was running for his life last week in the rain against the 49ers; now he goes to Lambeau Field where he’ll be chased by Rashan Gary and Preston Smith.
Don’t be fooled by the Bears’ 19-10 win over San Francisco. They were down 10-0 midway through the third quarter and benefited from a couple broken plays, a monsoon and facing a young QB.
Aaron Rodgers should have his way with this secondary, and expect the Packers’ defense to make a statement after the Vikings gashed them for 6.5 yards per play. The under has been hammered by professional gamblers, going from 45.5 to 42.5.
PICK: Packers (-9.5 at FOX Bet) to win by more than 9.5 points
PICK: Under 42.5 combined points scored
