Bears favored at Lambeau despite missing star back and starter QB

The Chicago Bears (3-1) are slight favorites against the Green Bay Packers (2-2) in their Week 5 rivalry matchup at Lambeau Field on Sunday, October 11. Despite missing starting quarterback Caleb Williams and leading rusher Kyle Monangai, Chicago’s top-ranked rushing attack and stingy defense provide a significant advantage. Green Bay faces critical defensive injuries, including the season-ending loss of linebacker Edgerrin Cooper, and struggles with a league-worst rushing offense. Analysts predict a Bears victory, with scores ranging from 24-20 to 42-10, highlighting Chicago’s offensive dominance and Green Bay’s current struggles.

Bears eye Khalil Mack reunion as Chargers face fire sale

The Chicago Bears are positioned as potential buyers at the November 10 trade deadline, with ESPN insider Dan Graziano citing their 3-1 record and GM Ryan Poles' aggressive strategy. Despite quarterback Caleb Williams' recent absence, Chicago seeks upgrades at defensive back and pass rusher. Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher Khalil Mack, a former Bears star, is a prime target. The Chargers, 0-4 after back-to-back 11-win seasons, may sell expiring contracts. Mack, 35, has three sacks and a 79.3 PFF grade in 2026. A trade could cost Chicago a fourth-round pick, with cap costs mitigated by restructuring. Other contenders like the 49ers and Ravens are also interested in Mack or other Chargers pass rushers.
