THE Green Bay Packers put themselves in pole position for a playoff spot when they beat the New York Giants last week, and they look like good things to confirm their place with a win over the Bears tonight.
The Packers got their offence back into high gear last weekend with the return of Aaron Rodgers under center, and Rodgers will not let his side miss out on their chance to make a real playoff charge. While ordinarily the Bears would never lack motivation for a trip to Green Bay, Chicago may also not be willing to risk potential injuries depending on how the game develops. Regardless of week seventeen action, the Bears have already secured a first-round bye when the playoffs begin. However, the Bears 36-7 loss at home to New England showed the potential fragility in their defence, and while the Packers may not rack up a win in such comfortable fashion, they have enough offensive firepower to continue an impressive run at Lambeau Field.
1/5 is a very short price about Green Bay, but they are the only team I trust this week in the mine-field of week seventeen football. Money is generally best preserved for the start of the playoffs next week, but Green Bay are just about value in this matchup – as unexciting at that this.
SUGGESTION:
Green Bay WIN (1/5 @ Stan James and bwin)
