The Green Bay Packers have won four games straight since getting blown out by the New Orleans Saints in their 2021 season-opener. They're in control of the NFC North standings and will face the 3-2 Chicago Bears on Sunday. The Bears are riding a two-game winning streak with Justin Fields under center and hope to gain ground on the division leaders.

Packers vs. Bears spread: Packers -6 Packers vs. Bears over-under: 44 points Packers vs. Bears money line: Packers -240, Bears +200 GB: Packers are 10-1 straight-up in their last 11 road games against the Bears CHI: Under has hit in five of the Bears' last six gamesFeatured Game | Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers
The Packers opened up the year with a disastrous blowout loss but have returned to form since then. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers' connection with wide receiver Davante Adams has had a lot to do with that success. While Rodgers' numbers are down, Adams leads the NFL in receptions (42) and receiving yards (579). Chicago's pass defense has been solid in 2021, but one of the league's best duos could challenge its secondary.
The Bears have won two straight games with Fields, but their offense is still questionable. The rookie quarterback has completed just 51.4 percent of his passes and has thrown one touchdown with two interceptions. Running back David Montgomery is set to miss an extended period with a knee injury and backup Damien Williams is out with COVID-19.
Why the Bears can coverThe Bears are a respectable 3-2 against the spread this year and can benefit from home-field advantage against the visitors. The Packers got blown out on the road in Week 1 and haven't pulled off a convincing win away from home this season. Green Bay won its road games in Weeks 3 and 5 by a total of five points.
While the Packers have given up fewer yards per contest, their secondary has been depleted by the loss of star cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder). If the hosts keep the score low, they'll have a shot at covering the spread.
How to make Bears vs. Packers picksSportsLine's model is leaning under on the total, projecting the teams to combine for 42 points. It also says one side of the spread cashes in well over 50 percent of simulations. You can only get the model's Packers vs. Bears picks at SportsLine.
