This coming Sunday, two NFC North teams will go head-to-head as the Green Bay Packers host the Chicago Bears in a critical Week 14 clash. Who will prevail in this Bears vs Packers game? Here's a breakdown of this divisional matchup.

Chicago Bears installed as +10 underdogs

The Chicago Bears came crashing back to earth in Week 13, losing 33-22 to the Arizona Cardinals. It was a disappointing defeat for the Bears, who have now lost eight of their first 12 games this season. They trail the Green Bay Packers by five games in the NFC North standings.

The Bears will look to return to the win column in Week 14 when they travel to Wisconsin to face the Packers. It definitely won't be easy as the Bears have struggled mightily against the Packers of late. The Bears have lost 10 of their last 11 meetings with the Packers, including their last five games.

The main question heading into Week 14 is who will be the Bears' starting quarterback for this matchup. Justin Fields missed the game against the Cardinals due to cracked ribs, with Chicago turning to Andy Dalton as its starting quarterback. That move did not work out well for the Bears, with Dalton throwing for just 229 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions. The Bears are now 2-2 in Dalton's starts.

The Bears have struggled on the road this season, winning just two of their six away games. That will be music to the ears of the Packers, who are undefeated at Lambeau Field this season, winning all five of their home games this campaign.

Green Bay Packers enter Week 14 as -10 favorites

The Green Bay Packers headed into their bye week feeling good about themselves after defeating the Los Angeles Rams at home in Week 12. The Packers pulled off a 36-28 victory over the struggling Rams to improve their record to 9-3, the best slate in the NFC North this season.

Green Bay's offense took center stage in the Week 12 win, with the Packers recording their highest scoring output this season. Aaron Rodgers delivered the goods despite playing with a fractured pinky toe, completing 28 of 45 passes for 307 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He threw touchdown passes of 5 yards to A.J. Dillon and 7 yards to Randall Cobb.

It was an impressive performance by the Packers, who have never lost back-to-back games within the same season during the three-year coaching tenure of Matt LaFleur. They now hold a commanding four-game lead in the NFC North following Minnesota's shocking loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 13.

Rodgers has decided not to have surgery to repair his broken toe during Green Bay's bye week. That means Rodgers will be available for the Packers' Week 14 clash against the Chicago Bears.
