Week 1 NFL Best Bets
Dan Karpuc: Packers -6.5 (1H)
I promised myself that I wouldn’t overreact to Week 1 results, so I won’t. Instead, I’ll trust the numbers and my process. Under Matt LaFleur, the Packers have gone 16-2 against the first-half spread after they failed to cover in the previous game, and that’s exactly the situation heading into this matchup. We saw what happened after Rodgers and the Packers got off to a slow start last year; he famously noted that he owns the Bears and his record against them backs up that claim. In 27 starts against the division rivals, he’s gone 22-5 SU, completed 67.4% of his passes and thrown 61 touchdown passes compared to just 10 interceptions. I do not trust the fluky Bears victory over the 49ers in rainy conditions whatsoever, and expect Green Bay’s defense to easily contain Justin Fields and Co. Give me the Packers to be up by seven at the half.

Lucy Burdge: Bears +10
After what we saw from the Packers last week in their 23-7 loss to the Vikings, I think the Bears, who beat the 49ers in Week 1, have a chance at an upset against them this week and a cover of this spread. The Bears have had a tough time of it against the Packers over the years, losing 20 of their last 23 meetings in this rivalry, but this could be the most opportune time for the Bears to at least finish within 10 points of Green Bay in this one.

Brad Pinkerton: Aaron Rodgers Under 259.5 Passing Yards (-109 at Caesars)
The main takeaway from the Packers Week 1 loss to the Vikings was that, yep, Aaron Rodgers misses Davante Adams. Badly. Rodgers went 22-for-34 for just 195 yards against the Vikings with running back A.J. Dillon leading the team in targets (6), receptions (5) and receiving yards (46). Yikes. Until we see more chemistry between Rodgers and his inexperienced receiving corps (or until the books adjust to this new reality), I'm hunting the unders on his passing props.
