Green Bay Packers (4-4) at Chicago Bears (3-5)

Since the loss of Aaron Rodgers to a broken collarbone, the Green Bay Packers have dropped three straight games. While a matchup with the Chicago Bears doesn’t seem too daunting, it’s going to be too much for this reeling Packers team to overcome in Week 10.

It won’t be pretty for either squad, actually. With Brett Hundley under center, the Packers will struggle to move the ball. The Bears will do the same, as rookie Mitchell Trubisky has been a mixed bag since taking over as the starter. Both offenses have weapons, but the quarterback play has watered it done up to this point.

The defenses aren’t a whole lot better. The Packers have been dominated on the defensive end for much of this season, as their lack of a pass rush continues to haunt them. Chicago’s defense hasn’t been a whole lot better, but they’ve certainly been superior in terms of getting after opposing quarterbacks.

That’s going to give them the edge in this one. Green Bay will mount a last-minute comeback attempt, but Hundley will feel the pressure and make a costly mistake that extends the Packers’ losing streak to four games.

Prediction: Bears win 16-14
