Packers vs Bears Predictions and Expert Picks for Week 17 NFL Game

The Chicago Bears must win in Week 17 if they want to make the playoffs, but the Green Bay Packers could snuff out their postseason hopes. The Packers currently hold the top seed in the NFC, which is more crucial in 2020 as it provides the winner with the only first-round bye.

A Green Bay loss would put that bye in jeopardy, so this game is important for the Cheeseheads as well, setting up a pretty key Week 17 matchup. Let's turn to the experts for their picks.
