Predicting Packers’ next four games: Can Green Bay make playoff run?

Week 13: Packers at Bears

The Packers’ run defense will be tested big time when they visit the Bears in Week 13. Chicago is averaging a league-high 201.7 rushing yards per game.

Quarterback Justin Fields has been outstanding. Over his past four games, he has thrown for 620 yards, eight touchdowns, and two interceptions, while rushing for 467 yards and five touchdowns.

The Packers will need a good plan for Fields, who could have a huge game in Week 13.

The good news for Green Bay? Despite how well Fields has played, Chicago is 1-3 over the past four weeks. And the defense is a major reason why.

On their three-game losing run, the Bears have given up a total of 115 points, an average of 38.3 points per game. This is a defense without Robert Quinn and Roquan Smith, who were traded before the deadline.

How can the Packers limit the Bears’ ability to run the ball? Win the matchup against their struggling defense and build an early lead.

Aaron Rodgers often raises his game for Bears week at Soldier Field. The Packers have only lost there once on their past 12 visits.

Fields may have another big game, but the Packers are able to score against the Bears’ defense, picking up a crucial victory over their oldest rivals.

Prediction: Win (6-7)
