For the first time in almost 70 years, Super Bowl betting enthusiasts will be able to watch the NFC North division headline the NFC Conference Championship. While the majority of our football betting colleagues are focusing on the giant killing hat trick expected by the New York Jets this weekend, we are turning our attention to the other underdog, the Chicago Bears. Here is a preview of the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears game this coming Sunday.

Despite winning the NFC North division with an impressive 11 and five overall record, which also allowed them to receive a first round bye, the Chicago Bears have been all but counted out for a win against the Green Bay Packers. Earlier this week, the updated Super Bowl odds were revealed, and while the Packers were the final wild card team to get into the playoffs, they are still the most favored team to win with seven to five odds. However, the Bears have the worst odds of any team at five and one.

Only in the NFL could you be counted out with five to one odds of capturing your first Super Bowl title in almost 16 years. This season, the Bears appeared be the Packers Achilles Heel, as the teams split their two meetings. For instance, the Bears won in week three of the regular season by a score of 20 to 17. Some will argue that the Bears got lucky since Green Bay had suffered several essential injuries in the start of the season. However, the Packers won the most recent meeting a 10 to three decision in Week 17. This result tells us, that despite already making the playoffs, the Bears had no intention of laying down for the Packers.

This past weekend, the Bears proved that home field advantage was essential, as they looked clean and crisp while routing the Seattle Seahawks. The Packers have played at Soldier Field as recently as December, so this game will be evenly matched. There is no such thing as betonline scam — look for the Bears to prove all the critics wrong and defeat their divisional foe in the rubber match of the three game series of this season.
