Week 5: Bears Visit Packers With Bagent Starting and Green Bay Without Edgerrin Cooper
The Chicago Bears visit the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, October 11. Chicago is 3-1 after a 23-12 win over the Jets in which Tyson Bagent threw for 268 yards and Kyle Monangai ran for 146; Ben Johnson has named Bagent the starter again with Caleb Williams out three to four weeks. Green Bay is 2-2 after a 17-14 win at Tampa Bay in which it lost linebacker Edgerrin Cooper to a torn Achilles; Jordan Love has 73 points of offense to show for four games.
Chicago's defense
Sixty-five points allowed in four games, the fewest in the NFC.
Green Bay's offense
Seventeen points against an 0-4 team starting an undrafted rookie.
Cooper's absence
The Packers' leader in tackles for loss is done for the season.
AI Prediction
Bears 
Packers Chicago's defense travels
It has allowed 9, 7 and 12 points in the past three games.
Lambeau and the rivalry
Green Bay is home and has beaten Chicago in most recent meetings, which keeps this a coin flip.
Bagent against a diminished defense
Two hundred sixty-eight yards against the Jets; the Packers just lost their best linebacker.
A Low-confidence road lean on defense. The model has been wrong about Chicago's offense before and is not overreaching.
