Packers’ Run Offense vs. Bears’ Run Defense

Green Bay’s running game is average at best, and with running backs Eddie Lacy and James Starks sidelined, the Packers will probably find it hard to move the ball on the ground. In Week 6, Green Bay had to settle for wide receiver Ty Montgomery as their ball carrier out of the backfield after Lacy exited the game with an ankle injury. Green Bay did make a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs for running back Knile Davis, but he will more than likely see very little action. Because of this, Chicago’s 19th ranked run defense may improve statistically.

Advantage: Bears
