The Packers-Bears betting has the Packers as 10 point favourites.
I'm no longer a betting man but I think backing the Bears to get within 10 is a good bet.
The scores under La Fleur: 2019: 10-3 (A); 21-13 (H); 2020: 41-25 (H); 35-16 (A); 2021: 24-14 (A); 45-30 (H)
The last two at home wins were over 10 points but circumstances are different this year.
No Adams.
The Bears new coach Eberfluss was the Colts' Defensive Co-ordinator from 2018-2021. He was immediately effective: the Colts' defence was ranked #30 in 2017 but #10 in 2018. It allowed an average of only 3.6yds per carry (6th in the NFL) and not one 100yd rushing game. The defence was ranked #9 in 2021.
The Bears new OC Getsky spent the last 3 years as the GB QB coach. So if anyone knows Rodgers' game he does.

So: with no Adams and unreliable WRs the talk is that GB will be relying on Jones and Dillon.
But Eberfluss has proved he can coach against the run and Getsky knows Rodgers,
I'm not saying the Bears will win but I do think 10 points is generous.
Interestingly, in Nagy's first year as coach the Bears lost 23-24 at GB in wk.01 then won 24-17 at home.

Mind you, I'm no longer a betting man due to bets like this.

WR Michael Pittman Jr. (quad) has been downgraded to Out.

Hmmm, not a good start for me, Pittman and Allen OUT. None of them are long term injuries, but I will have to trade to be competitive. Looks like CD Lamb stays this week in the team.
I've bit the bullet and traded out Pittman and Allen for M Thomas and D Adams.
Lost all my league games last week, I don't want to start the year with 2 losses in a row. These trades will give me a fighting chance.

I traded out the injured Keenan Allen. I got 2 other LA Chargers players, Ekeler and Herbert, I wasn't comfortable with 3 Chargers players in my Team, another reason to out K Allen.

Allows the opportunity for Robinson to be downgraded to a rookie ( if he puts in another poor showing) and the ability to upgrade either Pitts to Andrews or Sutton to Chase, etc, as well as boosting elsewhere to chase breakevens, etc.
Currently:
Out: C Lamb and A Robinson
In: AJ Brown and M Thomas

This really doesn’t help my slow start
Part of me wants to be aggressive after my slow start and trade Lamb and Pittman but it would really help to have another week of data.
Given we have the trade boost I’m probably just gonna bench Pittman for Thomas and give Lamb another week and if he sucks he’ll go to the best of the cheap WR’s
