Packers Wire staff predictions: Week 1 vs. Bears

Yahoo! Sports | September 9, 2023

The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears will open the 2023 season with a rivalry renewal at Soldier Field on Sunday afternoon. The winner will start 1-0, have a big division win banked entering Week 2 and feel great about their chances in the post-Aaron Rodgers era.

Can Jordan Love begin his starting career with a win in Chicago, or will Justin Fields and the Bears snap an eight-game losing streak to the Packers?

Here’s how the staff at Packers Wire believes the Week 1 showdown against the Bears will go down:

Zach Kruse (0-0): Packers 23, Bears 20

Brandon Carwile (0-0): Packers 20, Bears 17

Paul Bretl (0-0): Packers 21, Bears 17

Brennen Rupp (0-0): Packers 28, Bears 13
