Bears hanging around lately vs. Pack, split last four spread decisions with Fox. After 5-2-1 road dog mark in 2015, Fox 2-6 in role since. Pack also “over” 14-7 last 21.
It is fair to assume Chicago will be down after the first two quarters. Aaron Rodgers has only trailed at home as a favorite in the first half 18 times in his career. How do underdogs, like the Bears, perform when trailing heading into the locker room on Thursday Night Football?
The bigger the halftime deficit the more money these teams have cost bettors.

“It’s been all Packers money so far, Green Bay’s price adjusted from -110 to -120. I expect Bears money to turn up, (but) the Packers are so public that we’re gonna end up needing the Bears, most likely.”

“We’ve taken sharp money on both sides of this game, but not an inordinate amount. The smart money favors the Bears by just a bit. Unsurprisingly, the public is all over Green Bay. Currently, the ticket count favors the Packers, 75% to 25%, but the money is with Chicago at 53%.”
"There’s been sharp play on the under, taking the total from 45.5 to 44.5 over the past 24 hours"
