The Bears are currently a half-game up on the Packers in the NFC North standings but with two matchups against Green Bay over the next three weeks including Sunday in Lambeau, a lot can change.

As for the Commanders-Eagles, it’s a rematch of last year’s NFC Championship Game and while the Commanders are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, they are expected to get Jayden Daniels back at some point this season.
