Green Bay Packers vs Chicago Bears preview: Kick-off time, news, prediction and how to watch on DAZN

Week 14 of the 2025 NFL season drops a slate full of heavyweight clashes with real playoff shockwaves attached, and this Bears-Packers showdown at iconic Lambeau Field sits near the top of the list.

The Chicago Bears (9-3), who currently own the NFC No.1 seed and sit atop the NFC North, strut into Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers (8-3-1) in a matchup loaded with high stakes.

This one isn’t just another game in the rich history between the two sides. It’s a division showdown between two teams in the top 10 of our latest power rankings that can upset the entire conference playoff bracket.

With DAZN’s Game Pass deal giving you this showdown and the full Week 14 slate for just 99p, you’re getting a front-row seat to one of the weekend’s biggest games.

Bears: A contender finding its stride

Chicago look like a team that has quickly realised it can compete with the league's best.

Under the guidance of Head Coach of the Year candidate Ben Johnson, the Bears have adopted a physical identity, pairing a dominant ground game with a passing attack that’s become more efficient.

De'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai have created a two-headed monster at running back, and in turn, opened up the aerial attack, where Rome Odunze, DJ Moore, and Colston Loveland contribute.

Quarterback Caleb Williams has demonstrated real growth, helped in no small part by the upgrades made to his offensive line.

But the Bears’ biggest improvement has been on defense. They’ve forced turnovers in bunches, and their ability to generate those game-clinching moments has become a defining trait.

If Chicago wants to stay atop the NFC, they have to survive this test. If they do, they will prove they belong.

Packers: Lambeau, and the best defense the Bears have faced

Green Bay arrives with receipts in hand, having knocked off the Lions twice and the Steelers among their eight wins.

Offensively, Green Bay has been a little streaky. They’re dealing with injuries to the offensive line and at receiver, but the Packers’ passing game still poses enough danger to punish opposing secondaries.

Quarterback Jordan Love, while not prolific, has had some standout moments, none more impressive than his four-touchdown effort against the Lions on Thanksgiving.

DC Jeff Hafley’s unit has been one of the league’s most stifling groups all season, and Bears HC Johnson said that it might be the best defense Chicago has faced.

The numbers back up that assertion: Green Bay's D ranks among the top 10 units in several categories, including passing yards per attempt, passing touchdowns allowed, and fewest yards per carry.

Edge rusher Micah Parsons, possibly the best of the chasing group behind Myles Garrett in the Defensive Player of the Year race, has wasted no time endearing himself to the Packers' faithful with a series of game-winning performances.

Keys to the game

• Chicago’s protection vs. Parsons: Darnell Wright, Theo Benedet, and Co. have done a great job of keeping Williams upright, but we know Parsons can take over a game, even against the league's best.
• Red zone efficiency: The Bears have been sharp near the goal line. The Packers have been excellent at slamming doors when backed up. This feels like the chess match that decides the game's outcome.
• Turnovers: It's an obvious differentiator, but both defenses have proven so adept at creating turnovers. With both offenses limiting mistakes, it stands to reason that this factor could be decisive.

Playoff implications

Chicago holds the NFC’s No. 1 seed by the thinnest of margins. A win keeps them in control and their destiny entirely in their own hands, while a loss drops their playoff odds to 70%.

The Packers have more to lose and less to gain. A win here would reshape the NFC North entirely while solidifying their footing in the postseason picture. Lose, and they’re suddenly in a footrace with others.

This game is the ultimate hinge moment, and with both teams fully aware of what's at stake, they'll be giving their all.

Kickoff date, time, and location

• Date: Sunday, December 7, 2025
• Kickoff: 4:25 pm ET / 1:25 pm PT / 9:25 pm GMT
• Venue: Lambeau Field, Green Bay. The home of the Packers.

Prediction

Chicago has the better CV. Green Bay has the home-field edge and arguably the better defense. This feels like a game where one mistake early can dictate the entire script.

If the Bears contain Parsons and don’t get swallowed by the moment, they can grind out one of their biggest wins of the year.

If the Packers turn this into a trench-heavy, field-position slugfest, they’ll be the ones smiling when the clock hits double zeroes.

Bears 23 – 27 Packers
