NFL Monday Night Odds Packers @ Bears

There’s not a single BetUS sports betting fan in the world that believed it would be the Chicago Bears fighting for a playoff spot in Week 16 while the Green Bay Packers would have lost 9 games already. The Packers just don’t have it this season. There have been moments, like their overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans, where Green Bay looked like one of the top three or four teams in the NFC Conference. But then reality sort of kicked in and the Packers just started losing and losing and losing. At this point in the season they are only 5 and 9 straight-up. Against the BetUS online betting spread they have gone 7 and 7. There’s no real reason why a 13 and 3 team last season has turned into such an NFL betting punching bag. It’s definitely not because of Aaron Rodgers who has tried his hardest to keep the Pack together.

The Chicago Bears can still make the playoffs. They will need a lot of help even if they win out but they do have a chance. The best thing the Bears can hope for is a Minnesota Vikings loss on Sunday. In any case the Bears will want to take down their hated rivals. The Packers destroyed the Bears the last time these two teams met. Chicago wants to be the team on top this Monday. Straight-up the Bears are 8 and 6. Against the BetUS online wagering spread, Chicago has gone 6-6-2 so far this season.

Here are the BetUS online betting odds for this game.

Green Bay Packers + 4 – 110 + 165 O 41 – 110
Chicago Bears -4 – 110 – 200 U 41 – 110

Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game.

The Green Bay Packers are 5 and 0 against the spread in their last 5 games against a rival from the NFC North division.
The Green Bay Packers are 7 and 2 against the spread in the last 9 meetings between these two teams.
The Chicago Bears are 4-9-1 against the spread in their last 14 games as the favorite at home.
The Chicago Bears are 0-4-1 against the spread in their last 5 games following a straight-up win.

This might be the best online bet of the weekend. Why? Because even though the Green Bay Packers have been awful lately, there’s no way that they don’t go into Chicago and play the Bears tough.

I still believe that Green Bay is better than Chicago. I believe that the Packers will come out playing for pride and that they will find a way to beat their biggest rivals on the road.

Green Bay knows that it won’t make the playoffs this season, but it also knows that keeping the Bears out of the playoffs will make their fans very happy. I expect Green Bay to do that at what figures to be nice online betting odds.

Packers vs. Bears MNF Prediction:

I will be making a wager on the Green Bay Packers to beat the Chicago Bears straight-up on the BetUS money line of + 165.
