The third and final chapter of a film trilogy tends to miss more often than it hits. For every “Return of the King”, we get plenty of “Rise of Skywalker”.
What does the third battle between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears have in store? We’ll find out in Saturday’s Wild Card clash.
One thing I do know: we’ll see plenty of Green Bay receiver Jayden Reed — through the air and on the ground — when the whistle blows in the Windy City.
Here are my best Packers vs. Bears predictions and NFL picks for January 10.
Packers vs Bears prediction
Packers vs Bears Best bet: Jayden Reed Over 40.5 rushing + receiving yards (-114)
Jayden Reed is the Green Bay Packers’ primary slot receiver, a role that has consistently given the Chicago Bears problems. In two meetings with Chicago, Reed posted three catches for 35 yards in one game and four receptions for 41 yards in the other.
Reed’s impact isn’t limited to the passing game. Against the Bears, he’s also been used as a ball carrier, logging three rushes for 28 total yards across those two matchups.
Most receiving projections have Reed hovering around 45 yards, while his rushing props typically assume at least one carry, with a ceiling of 5.5 rushing yards.

Packers vs Bears same-game parlay
The Bears are in far better shape than their divisional rivals, with the Packers dealing with injuries on both sides of the ball. Chicago’s rushing attack has been especially impressive down the stretch, and that will provide the foundation for a Wild Card win by the “Monsters of the Midway.”
Reed has been a Swiss Army knife since returning from injury in December and should be at full strength for this matchup. The Packers’ slot receiver draws a favorable matchup against a Chicago secondary that has struggled to contain slot wideouts.
D’Andre Swift leads Chicago’s two-headed backfield, giving the Bears one of the league’s more effective ground games in the second half of the season. He’s a threat to score on the ground or through the air and has already totaled 10 touchdowns this year.

Our big-ticket SGP: The Gift of Swift
I bet the Bears to cover in the Wild Card Round, basing that handicap on Chicago’s ability to run the ball.
Swift isn’t just a weapon on the ground. He’s a great pass-catching option with projections calling for 16+ receiving yards.
The veteran running back has doubled up on tuddies in two of his last four outings.
