Chicago Bears top the NFC North division and a win here over Green Bay Packers will confirm top spot. They come into this game with a 9-4 record for the season and are 3-1 in games against other sides in their division. The Bears are having their first winning season since 2012 and have made a big improvement since their early season form saw them level at 3-3. Six of the last seven matches have been won with the only defeat being an over-time loss at New York Giants. Their last four home games have all ended in a win and they will be confident of making it five in a row.

Green Bay Packers started their season with a 24-23 win over Chicago and currently rank 10th in the NFC so still have an outside chance of making the play-offs with a wild card. Earlier this month they sacked Mike McCarthy after their loss to Arizona Cardinals with Joe Philbin taking over as interim head coach. He led them to a 34-20 win over the Atlanta Falcons last week ending a run of three straight defeats. They are 5-7-1 for the season and still in with an outside chance of reaching the play-offs but all seven defeats have come away from home this season. Chicago have gone nine home games without a win at home to Green Bay but they are a much better side this year and can get the victory here.
