2021 NFL picks, score predictions for Week 6
Green Bay Packers (4-1) at Chicago Bears (3-2)
Sunday, October 17, 1PM ET
Since Aaron Rodgers took over as the starter for the Green Bay Packers, he’s gone an impressive 22-5 against the Chicago Bears. Their last win came at home, but it was back in December of 2018. It feels like Rodgers almost always has the Bears’ number.
Chances are that’ll continue to be the case in Week 6. Rodgers has been playing lights out this season as the Packers are riding a four-game winning streak. Although they nearly choked against the Bengals this past weekend, I believe they’ll be up to the task of slowing Justin Fields and the Bears offense.
Actually, the bigger problem will be the Chicago defense, which nearly nullified the Las Vegas Raiders offense in Week 5. However, as I’ve already indicated, Rodgers is no stranger to besting the Bears, as he’s done for pretty much his entire career.
With weapons like Davante Adams, Aaron Jones and Robert Tonyan to work with, Rodgers seems primed for a big day against Chicago. Look for him to light it up on Sunday, leaving Fields and the Bears wondering where they’d ever conjure that much offense from.
Prediction: Packers win 34-20 | Spread: Packers (-5)
