Green Bay is a 1.5-point road betting favorite, and my NFL playoff predictions for Wild Card Round break down whether the Pack can pick up a win in a rivalry that spans over a century with Jordan Love back under center.

💰 Packers vs. Bears best bet: Packers -1.5 (-108) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Packers -1.5 is my best bet for this Wild Card Weekend clash, given Jordan Love and the team's experience. Bears QB Caleb Williams has taken big steps in his second season, but the bright lights of the NFL playoffs are an entirely different beast. Williams might have familiarity with the Pack from the regular season, but postseason jitters are a thing.
Love's playoff struggles are well documented, but in his only full game against the Bears this season, he torched them for three touchdowns against one pick. The QB clearing concussion protocol will give his squad a boost.
Score prediction: Green Bay 24, Chicago 17
🙌 Best Packers vs. Bears touchdown scorer prediction: Christian Watson (+175) ⭐⭐⭐

I'm a big fan of Watson on Saturday against the Bears. Chicago allowed more touchdowns to wideouts than any other postseason team (and second-most leaguewide including eliminated teams).
In his only full game against the Bears with Love under center, Watson found the end zone twice. He's scored six times across 10 games in a shortened season, is being targeted plenty, and catching lots of passes. He's got big-play ability, and Love will be looking to him in big moments.

🌤️ Packers vs. Bears weather: Saturday, 8 p.m. ET
It might be a little snowy in Chicago, which could slow the passing game but have little other impact for Packers vs. Bears on Saturday. However, things don't look too bad. There's a 41% chance of snow at kickoff, which holds throughout the bulk of the game, but less than an inch is expected to accumulate. It will be a chilly evening in Chicago, but that won't come as a surprise or be unusual to either of these teams.
