Week 18 NFL picks for Bears vs. Packers

Before tuning into Sunday's Packers vs. Bears game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 18 of the 2023 NFL season on an incredible 181-129 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 35-21 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of last season.

For Packers vs. Bears, the model is picking Over 45 points to be scored. Love has thrown two or more touchdown passes in seven of his last eight games. Love's effectiveness is a big reason why Green Bay has scored 33 points in each of its last two contests. Meanwhile, Fields has thrown for 200-plus yards in three of his last five games in addition to still being a pivotal part of Chicago's rushing attack. 

The Over has hit in each of the Packers' last six games, and these two teams combined for 58 points in the season-opener in Chicago. Green Bay is playing for a playoff spot while Fields is playing to solidify his role as Chicago's franchise quarterback, which sets this up to be a high-scoring affair.
