Packers vs. Bears preview: Who has the advantage in Week 6?

The Green Bay Packers (4-1) and Chicago Bears (3-2) will do battle on Sunday at Soldier Field with first place in the NFC North on the line.

Both teams are riding high into the matchup. The Packers have won four straight games since the Week 1 debacle, while the Bears have rebounded from a 1-2 start by winning back-to-back games with rookie Justin Fields under center.

Football is a complicated game, but finding the reasons for winning individual matchups between teams is often a straightforward exercise. What wins games?
