The Packers covered the last time they were favored by as much as they are in week 11 against the Bears.
This Sunday, the Green Bay Packers will try to win another game against their oldest rivals, the Chicago Bears. The former Monsters of the Midway jumped out to a hot start this season but have fallen apart in the last month, losing three straight games coming out of their bye week and dropping under .500 on the season.
This week, the sportsbooks have installed the Packers as big favorites for Sunday’s game at Soldier Field. The point spread has bounced around a bit all week but has settled in at Packers -5.5 as we get to Friday.
Will the Packers be able to win and cover that spread? So far this season, the Packers are just 4-5 against the spread and are just 2-3 as favorites, but they have gone 4-1 straight up when favored. This week’s 5.5-point spread matches the Packers’ highest spread as favorites all season, as they were favored by the same amount against the Arizona Cardinals in week six. That game saw the Packers cover handily as they pulled away with a big 34-13 win, their biggest of the season.
