The NFL playoff picture will begin to take shape as the NFL schedule enters Week 16. The NFC North title may be on the line on Saturday night when Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers take on Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears. The Bears hold a half-game lead over the Packers in the division. After Green Bay opened as a small favorite, that line has flipped and Chicago is now a 1.5-point road favorite. The Packers won the last meeting, 28-21, in Green Bay on Dec. 7, and have won nine of the past 10 meetings with the Bears. Green Bay will be without several starters due to injury, including pass rusher Micah Parsons (knee) and possibly wide receiver Christian Watson (chest), who didn’t practice on Monday.
There are a number of other intriguing matchups on the Week 16 NFL schedule, including Rams (+1) vs. Seahawks on Thursday Night Football; Buccaneers (-3) vs. Panthers, Jaguars vs. Broncos (-3) and Steelers vs. Lions (-7) on Sunday; Patriots vs. Ravens (-3) on ‘Sunday Night Football’ and 49ers (-6) vs. Colts on ‘Monday Night Football’ as Philip Rivers gets set to make another start.
