Green Bay Packers NFL Week 13 Betting Lines
The Green Bay Packers are currently three games out of the race for the final Wild Card spot in the NFC. It’s unlikely that the Packers can make up that ground with just five games left on their schedule, but Aaron Rodgers is going to try and get the job done. Green Bay will be favored by the NFL betting odds in its next two games, including this week against the Chicago Bears, and a bye week will help them prepare for the homestretch.
On Sunday, December 4, 2022, the Green Bay Packers will take on the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field in the Windy City. Green Bay has won seven straight games against Chicago in this series, and the Packers will look to make it eight in a row at 1 p.m. ET on FOX.

Green Bay Packers Week 13 Matchup
Justin Fields has made the Chicago Bears exciting over the last month, but Fields might not suit up on Sunday. Fields missed last week’s game with the New York Jets due to a shoulder injury, and the Bears might decide to play it safe with their young quarterback considering they have no chance of making the postseason in 2022 with a 3-9 record. He is the most dangerous running quarterback in the NFL not named Lamar Jackson, but his passing has left something to be desired. If Fields doesn’t play on Sunday, then Trevor Siemian will start under center for the second straight week.
The Bears are likely doomed if Siemian starts in place of Fields. Siemian is not a good quarterback, and Chicago has the least talented skill position corps in the NFL. To make matters worse, top receiver Darnell Mooney and explosive running back Khalil Herbert are on injured reserve, so things look incredibly bleak at receiver and running back.
That’s good news for the Packers’ defense though, especially after their woeful performance against Philadelphia last week. These defensive backs are solid, but the play of the front seven has left a lot to be desired. The 3-4 scheme they have employed up front has been able to be pushed around, and the Packers are allowing 5.0 YPC and 154.8 YPG on the ground, ranking in the bottom five in both categories.
Aaron Rodgers sounds determined to play through a rib injury this week. Rodgers has not had his best season, and at some point, the Packers may decide to go with Jordan Love the rest of the way. However, Rodgers is still the main man for now, and he would love to lead the Packers on a five-game winning streak to end the season in order to threaten for a playoff spot.
There is reason to be wary of this team if Rodgers returns to his old self. Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon have been a formidable duo on the ground, running for 1,352 yards and four touchdowns. Second-round pick Christian Watson has come alive with six receiving touchdowns in the last three weeks, and Romeo Doubs may be set to return after missing the last month due to injury.
Chicago does not have a great defense after trading away Robert Quinn and Roquan Smith. This front seven can be pushed around, and it is surrendering 4.7 YPC and 143.9 YPG on the ground. Star rookie defensive backs Jaquan Brisker and Kyler Gordon are questionable to play this week too, and this defense would really struggle without them considering Eddie Jackson is on injured reserve.
Green Bay Packers Week 12 Recap
It was tough for fans of the Green Bay Packers to watch last week’s performance against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. Although the Packers only lost by seven points, they gave up 500 total yards of offense in a 40-33 defeat. Green Bay’s defense was completely outmatched by Philadelphia’s run game, and that is something the Packers must fix in a hurry.
Jalen Hurts didn’t need to do much through the air in this game. Hurts completed 16 of 28 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns. DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown were the top two targets with Dallas Goedert on injured reserve, but the true story was Philly’s success on the ground. The Eagles had 49 carries for 363 yards and three touchdowns as Hurts and Miles Sanders ran circles around this front seven.
Aaron Rodgers was dealing with a rib injury and completed 11 of 16 passes for 140 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions before leaving the game. Jordan Love replaced him and fared well, completing 6 of 9 passes for 113 yards and a TD. A.J. Dillon had some success on the ground with 64 rushing yards and a touchdown, while Aaron Jones had 15 touches for 99 yards and a TD.

Founded in 1921, the Green Bay Packers are one of the NFL’s crown jewel legacy franchises. Green Bay has 11 NFL championships and four Super Bowl titles.
The Packers have the distinction of winning three consecutive NFL championships in 1929-31 and 1965-67.
Curly Lambeau was the first great Packer coach that led that original Green Bay dynasty. He led Green Bay to six NFL titles in his career. The Packers' home stadium, Lambeau Field, is named after the legendary championship coach.
Following a long period in the NFL wilderness from 1945 through 1958, the Packers hired Vince Lombardi as head coach and general manager in 1959. The rest, as they say, is history.
Lombardi ushered in an era of glory that firmly established the Packers as a legendary franchise. Green Bay won five NFL championships and the first two Super Bowls under Lombardi.
From 1968-to 1992, the Packers were again in the wilderness. But then-general manager Ron Wolf and head coach Mike Holmgren combined to set a standard of excellence that has lasted until now. Green Bay has missed the playoffs only seven times since 1993.
Green Bay has a litany of former stars and Hall of Famers. It also boasts three of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. Bart Starr, Brett Favre, and Aaron Rodgers are generational and Hall of Fame quarterbacks.
The Packers have 25 players inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Also, Lombardi and Wolf were installed in the Coach and Executive class.
