The Bears and Packers are NFC North rivals and one of the oldest rivalries in the NFL. They play twice every regular season, once in Chicago and once in Green Bay. This page tracks how sportsbooks have priced each meeting: where the line opened, how it moved, how far prices differed between books and how the game finished. OddsBay records every price from the first line to kickoff, and we add each new meeting to the record below.

How the October meeting was priced

This game had the biggest swing of any meeting in our NFL guides. Green Bay opened as a home favorite of about 2.5 to 3 points. Between seven and three days before kickoff, the line flipped: Chicago became a 1.5-point favorite, and it closed at Bears −1. That is a move of about four points across zero, the kind of change that usually follows major team news.

Green Bay then won 31–7. The team the market moved away from won by 24, and the game went well under the 46.5 total. A large move tells you that information arrived and the market reacted. It does not tell you the reaction was right. Our guides to line movement and the closing line explain how to think about this.

Line shopping in this matchup

At kickoff, OddsBay tracked moneyline prices from 44 sportsbooks:

What makes Bears vs Packers different to bet

  • Division familiarity. The teams play twice a year and know each other’s schemes. In the first five weeks of the 2026 season, OddsBay recorded 22 NFL division games: the underdog covered the closing spread in 15 and won outright in 12. In non-division games, underdogs covered 25 of 53. Twenty-two games is a small sample, so treat this as context, not a system.
  • Key numbers. In the 79 NFL games OddsBay recorded in the first five weeks, 3 was the most common final margin (15.2% of games) and 7 the second (10.1%). When a line sits near 3 or 7, the half point and its price matter. Our point spread guide covers the basics.
  • Fast-moving lines. When big news hits during the week, the line can move several points in a day. Prices taken before and after the news can be very different, so record the price you get and compare it with the close.
  • Cold and wind late in the season. Both stadiums are open-air, and the second meeting is usually in winter. Check the forecast on game day. See our guide to over/under betting.

What to check before the next meeting

  1. Quarterbacks and injuries. Confirm who is starting and which key players are out.
  2. Weather. For outdoor games, check the wind forecast for game day.
  3. Where the line sits relative to 3 and 7. Note what each half point costs.
  4. Prices across books. Compare the moneyline, spread and total on the odds comparison before betting.
  5. Your bet against the close. After the game, compare the price you took with the closing line. Our guide to the closing line explains why.
