Monday Night Football delivers an NFC North battle between Green Bay and Chicago. (AP Images)

The Packers and Bears clashed back in Week 11 when Green Bay ripped Chicago 37-3 as a 3.5-point favorite, but it’s been all downhill for the Pack ever since.

Since beating up on the Bears the Packers have gone 0-4, including last week’s 20-16 loss to Jacksonville. The Green Bay defense, which had been solid to start the season, has fallen off dramatically during their bad run. Green Bay’s defense showed their inadequacy last week after giving up two fourth-quarter touchdowns to the Jaguars to blow another lead.

The Bears have gone 3-1 since losing to Green Bay and kept their playoff hopes alive last week with a 27-24 win over New Orleans. Chicago has won their last two games despite lackluster performances from quarterback Kyle Orton. In those two wins Orton threw three interceptions and only two touchdowns.

When Green Bay visited Chicago last season the Bears killed them 35-7 as a 7.5-point underdog, and on Monday night the Bears are a 4-point favorite. Be sure to get your NFL football odds in the Bodog Sportsbook.
