MIT Simulator - NFL Thursday Packers vs Bears Winner
MIT Simulator Score - Green Bay 23.33 Chicago 22.18 - Projected Margin of Victory: 1.15 - Current Line: 7.5 - Variance to Line: 6.35 - MIT Simulator shows Edge Factor of 6.35 points. Value in excess of TD (6 points). Projected box-score shows Bears rushing edge of 59.68 yards in excess of Packers rushing total. Key factors noted: Chicago has upset the Packers in 2 of their last 4 visits to Green Bay which gives the Bears some added confidence here at Lambeau Field. The Bears have been about a TD dog in all 3 of their games so far this season and they've covered 2 of the 3 games. The lone loss was a turnover-prone game at Tampa Bay so Chicago will look to make up for that poor road effort as they now take on a division rival. Packers may not have much left in the tank after having to rally against the Bengals as Green Bay was down by 2 touchdowns early and had to score late on the way to the eventual overtime win. Projected box-score shows Packers passing edge of 70.13 yards in excess of Bears passing total. Net edge for Green Bay of only 10.45 total yards equating to victory by just the slimmest of margins - 1.15 points - per MIT Simulator. Play: CHICAGO +7.5
