"The NFL is quickly coming to a close heading into the festive holiday season. As the temperatures plummet in December, the divisional races around the NFL are heating up. Entering Week 16, no team has celebrated a division championship, but the results this weekend will surely alter that outlook heading into the final full week of the 2025 calendar year."
"The Chicago Bears will look for revenge in their home matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Saturday night contest in Week 16. Green Bay secured a 28-21 win in Week 14 the only loss suffered by Chicago since Week 9 in mid-November. Caleb Williams and the Bears hold a tenuous one-game lead in the NFC North which makes this mid-afternoon matchup critical in the dash for the NFL playoffs."
"Green Bay was riding a four-game streak before last week's loss in Denver. The Packers defense will need to adjust to a new normal without star linebacker Micah Parsons, who was placed on injured reserve with a torn ACL on Wednesday. It will be a much different look for defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley without Parsons roaming around the defensive front in Green Bay. How will the Packers respond against Chicago's fifth-ranked offense?"
The NFL approaches Week 16 with no division champions yet and divisional races intensifying as December temperatures drop. Recent results included the New York Giants' eight-point loss to the Washington Commanders, the Carolina Panthers losing to the four-win New Orleans Saints, and Aaron Rodgers leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to an emphatic win over the Miami Dolphins. The record in 2025 slips to 28 wins and 17 losses, a 62% winning percentage through 45 games. The Chicago Bears host the Green Bay Packers with a one-game NFC North lead, while Green Bay adjusts defensively after Micah Parsons was placed on injured reserve with a torn ACL. ESPN lists the Packers as slim road favorites with a 59% chance to win.
