Phil Naessens breaks down his favorite Packers vs. Bears anytime touchdown picks for Saturday's NFC North showdown.
First place in the NFC North is on the line when the Green Bay Packers visit historic Soldier Field and the Chicago Bears. Saturday night’s divisional matchup should be a tough defensive battle, but Josh Jacobs and DJ Moore should break loose and find paydirt.
When Green Bay gets inside the 20-yard line, Jacobs handles 69% of the touches, and that number spikes to 77% inside the 10, which is where he usually finds the paint. Jacobs is the Packers’ clear goal-line back, leads Green Bay by a wide margin in red-zone touches, and ranks fifth in the NFL in touches inside 20 yards. The price is high, but it’s justified. Jacobs faces a Chicago Bears defense allowing nearly one rushing touchdown per game, and he’s scored at least once in 10 of 13 games this season. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has thrown multiple touchdown passes in three of his last four games, and the Williams–Moore connection lines up well against this Green Bay secondary. The Packers’ passing defense has allowed 16 red zone passing touchdowns this season and is giving up roughly 1.5 passing scores per game, which should create a favorable matchup for Moore. Moore hauled in a 22-yard scoring strike and converted his lone red-zone target last week into another touchdown for his fifth receiving TD of the season against a solid Cleveland Browns secondary.Make your NFL bets at FanDuel, America's No. 1 sportsbook!
