Here Are The Bears' Odds To Beat The Packers In NFC Wild Card Game

Nearly 61,000 fans expected at Soldier Field for the NFC Wild Card game where the Bears host Packers in a rare playoff meeting with high stakes and intense rivalry.

  • Saturday night's Wild Card at Soldier Field will draw nearly 61,000 fans tailgating nearby, marking just the third postseason meeting between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers.
  • The Chicago Bears' surprise 'Cinderella' run has driven strong local interest, with store sales up 25% this season and the team topping Fanatics e-commerce sites.
  • Green Bay's offense excels on early-down efficiency, ranking among the NFL's best on first and second downs, while the Bears' defense has a low pass rush win rate despite Sweat's 10-sack season this year.
  • Oddsmakers list Green Bay Packers as a 1.5-point favorite, requiring them to win by at least two points, while the Chicago Bears defense must force turnovers, with Byard key on Saturday.
  • Local transit and parking will be strained, with Chicago Transit Authority adding service and parking rates rising up to $70 at Millennium Park, Grant Park garages and McCormick Place.
