Long Time Rivals
The Packers and Bears have a long time rivalry that goes back 89 years. What you might not know is that this will only be the second time in their history that they have met in the playoffs and the first time they will be playing for the right to go to the Super Bowl. They last met in 1941 at Soldier Field with the Bears pulling out the win.
Packers Getting a Lot of Love
Green Bay is the team of choice by many to not only go to the Super Bowl but win it. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers were simply brilliant on Saturday as the Packers routed the Atlanta Falcons by a score of 48-21. The NFL playoffs betting oddsmakers know that the public is going to bet on Green Bay so they have made them favored even though they are on the road against the NFC North champion Bears. Green Bay is always competitive with all six of their losses this season by four points or less with two coming in overtime. Green Bay is the first team since 1970 to go an entire season and never trail by more than seven points. If Chicago had managed to beat Green Bay in the regular season finale we wouldn’t be talking about the Packers at all as they would have missed the playoffs. Green Bay is the number six seed but they sure don’t look like a six seed. They could become the first six seed in the NFC to ever reach the Super Bowl.
Teams Split This Season
The Packers and Bears split their two regular season meetings this season with each team winning at home. The Bears won 20-17 back in Week 3 while the Packers won 10-3 in the regular season finale. Both of those games easily went under the total. Gamblers making an NFL bet on this game will likely see a total of about 40 on Sunday.
