Bears vs Packers Preview, Parlay Pick
Christian Watson Under 57.5 Receiving Yards
It should come as no surprise that the weather at Soldier Field in January is far from ideal.
However, it is "Football Weather."
With snow flurries and wind of 15-23 mph expected, it's going to be tough to push the ball down the field. The weather directly impacts the Packers' field-stretching receiver Christian Watson.
We saw this to be the case when these teams met just a few weeks ago. Watson recorded just two receptions for 17 yards on six targets.
Although the weather is expected to be worse than it was in that performance, Watson is a true boom-or-bust candidate, with much more likelihood of busting.
Luke Musgrave Under 20.5 Receiving Yards
We continue to trickle down the Packers' passing attack as it will be heavily hampered by the weather. Tight end Luke Musgrave has yet to make a big splash as Green Bay's No. 1 tight end, and he's often disappeared at times.
Musgrave has not recorded a catch since he last saw the Bears. He caught three balls for 38 yards, but went without a target the following weeks against Baltimore and Minnesota.
His last effort against Chicago was one of his biggest of the season, which is telling of how low his role in the offense is. Musgrave has averaged just 2.4 targets per game over his last 10 contests.
We've seen the market come in and slam Musgrave's under as this receiving yards line opened at 26.5 earlier this week. With only one catch likely, and him averaging just 10.6 yards per reception, even two receptions will make it tough for him to eclipse this mark.
Josh Jacobs Anytime Touchdown Scorer
Lastly, the beneficiary of the circumstances impacting the Packers' offense is running back Josh Jacobs.
Jacobs comes into this matchup primed to make his presence felt, as he's said that he feels the best he has in six weeks.
Jacob's season has been riddled with injuries, and we haven't seen him healthy for quite a while, including when he ran for 86 yards and a score against Chicago in early December.
Jacobs will be a massive part of the Packers' offense as the weather will keep the ball on the ground, but his matchup is also excellent with the Bears ranking 29th in yards per rush allowed.
His volume will not dip in the red zone either, as he's garnered 54 percent of red-zone carries this season. He is as strong a pick as there is to find paydirt this weekend.
