NFC Championship Picks: Packers vs. Bears Betting Odds

The Packers are -4 point NFL Betting Odds favorites and Green Bay has won three of the past four games in the series between these fierce NFC North rivals. Overall, the Pack has the edge in the divisional series, leading 12-8 over the past twenty games.

Green Bay and Chicago are both defensive minded teams – the Packers have averaged 15 points per game (second in the NFL) and the Bears ranked fourth with 17.9 points per game.

Green Bay likes to get after the quarterback, and are second in the league with 47 sacks while Chicago has had trouble getting to the quarterback and has only 34 sacks despite signing DE Julius Peppers to a huge free agent contract in the off-season.

What set these two teams apart, though, is their offenses.

Green Bay, with Aaron Rodgers, ranks 10^th in scoring with 24.3 points per game while the Bears have struggled all season and average only 20.9 points per game (20^th in the league).

In the end, how the offenses perform could be the difference in this game and the Packers were on fire last week in Atlanta. How they will handle themselves in the cold winds of Soldier Field is another story entirely in the last (and most dramatic) chapter between these two storied franchises. NFC Championship Picks Bet on Packers vs. Bears UNDER the posted total.
