The Sun-Times’ Bears experts make their picks for the wild-card round rivalry game against the Packers on Saturday night at Soldier Field (7 p.m., Fox 32/Amazon Prime Video):

Patrick Finley

Packers, 27-24: The Bears have yet to lead the Packers in regulation this season. To pick the Bears would be to count on their end-of-game magic once again — and on a defense that has allowed 929 yards the past two games. Season: 10-7.

Jason Lieser

Bears, 24-23: The Bears-Packers rivalry returned to being an actual rivalry this season, and there’s no better way to settle it than with another thriller, this time in the playoffs.
