Pro Football Odds – Packers Laying Double Digits to bears in Monday Night Football
When people who analyze the pro football odds get together, they marvel about the way Aaron Rodgers keeps plugging away, regardless of the other conditions that exist in his offense. On Monday night he is going to lead his Green Bay Packers into battle against the Chicago Bears in an NFC North contest that will be kicking off at 8:30 PM ET at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.
ESPN televises this game live, and it will be a homecoming of sorts for Jon Gruden, who formerly served as an offensive assistant with the Packers.
The Packers have won four games in a row, but the Bears can actually pull even with them in the division with a victory. In the pro football odds that have been posted on this game at BetAnySports, Green Bay is a double-digit favorite:

Chicago is moving ahead without Jay Cutler, but the word is that there is a possibility that their starting quarterback, who has a torn muscle in his groin (too much information for ‘ya?), could be back for next week’s game against Detroit. Those who bet the pro football odds have to evaluate what will happen with Josh McCown calling the signals for this one. McCown came in for Cutler in the game two weeks ago against the Washington Redskins and completed 14 of 20 for 204 yards. And the QB rating of 119.6 was outstanding. McCown has been in the league since 2002, however, and he has never out up great numbers. is that going to change because he is working under Marc Trestman?
McCown got his chance as a starter with the Arizona Cardinals in 2004 and completed 57% of his passes for 2511 yards and eleven touchdowns. He threw ten interceptions and was sacked 31 times. So for those NFL bettors who were wondering if he had some experience running an offense, he has.
Lance Briggs, who is Chicago’s best defender, is also missing for the Bears, and when you consider that this team has not stopped many opponents (allowing a shade under 30 points a game), they can ill-afford to lose a team leader who has been a seven-time Pro Bowl performer.
Eddie Lacy is one of the favorites to score the first touchdown in this game at BetAnySports, priced at +800. There have been times when no Green Bay running back would have ever been considered to be in that position, but Lacy, who was the team’s first-round draft pick out of Alabama, has been nothing short of a revelation. Lacy was hurt early in the season, but when he came back he came back with a bit of a bang. In the last four games, all Green Bay wins, he has gained 395 yards, and he’s been a major reason why the Pack has really balanced itself offensively. Heading into tonight’s game, Green Bay has called 249 passing plays and 207 running plays, and that makes it tougher for opposing defenses to tee off on Aaron Rodgers, who has completed 67% of his passes and been sacked “only” 17 times.
