Who’s Favorite in the NFL Week 10 Odds Between Packers and Bears?

Written by on November 9, 2017

All of us who wager on football games tend to take some time to research trends that might give us an edge when it comes time to start laying out some money. There are countless different things to look at when doing that research, but one of the more compelling numbers is always how teams historically perform against others. There are some match-ups where one team is particularly dominant against another, but you need to look at more than just that before you head online to start wagering, just as the NFL Week 10 odds demonstrate. For example, the Green Bay Packers have totally dominated the Chicago Bears in recent years, but that dominance came when Aaron Rodgers was under center for the Packers. He looks to be done for the regular season, and backup QB Brett Hundley has not looked the part to this point. The Bears have raised their game against the better teams they have played this season, and they may see this as their opportunity to get one over on the wounded Packers this Sunday. The Bears are a 5 ½ point favorite for this one, with the point total set at 38.

Why consider the Packers NFL Week 10 Odds?

When Aaron Rodgers went down with a broken collarbone, there were a lot of folks who believed that the Packers would go in search of veteran help, but they chose to put all their faith in 24-year old backup Brett Hundley. It is a move that has backfired so far, and coach Mike McCarthy is now being asked some very tough questions about his decision to go this route. You do have to feel some level of sympathy for the Packers, as they looked like a potential Super Bowl winner last season before getting riddled with injuries. It is now beginning to look like more of the same this season, as injuries are starting to pile up, sending the team into a tailspin that has seen them lose 3 straight, during which they only managed to put 44 points on the board. The Packers have won 7 of their last 8 games against Chicago, and are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 meetings with their division rivals. You feel, though, that they are going to need more than their recent 13 PPG average to get anything here.

Why consider the Bears NFL Week 10 Odds?

It has been a strange kind of season for the Chicago Bears in 2017. The expectations for this team were not particularly high coming into the season, especially when you consider that they are in the middle of a rebuilding phase. Their 3 wins on the season already represent what most people thought they would be able to manage all year, and they are probably a little unlucky not to have a couple more under their belt. Playing at home helps Chicago to be the NFL Week 10 Odds favorite. The Bears have now handed the reins to rookie QB Mitch Trubisky, and while he has not been asked to do very much in terms of passing the football, he has led his team to 2 wins in their last 3 games. This is not a team that is going to score a lot of points, but they have done a good job at keeping their opponents off the board this season. Home has been particularly good to Chicago, as they are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games.

Expert Pick and Final Score Prediction

This would ordinarily be a no-brainer pick, but with Aaron Rodgers out of the mix, things get a little trickier. I am leaning towards the Bears in this one, and I like them to win and cover. I also like the UNDER 38 points. Score: Green Bay Packers 13 – Chicago Bears 19
