All that stands between the Green Bay Packers and a playoff berth is an NFC North rival they’ve dominated for the last five seasons.

That’s more than enough incentive for the Chicago Bears.

Although the Bears (7-9) have no shot at making the playoffs and already own the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft, they’d love nothing more than to end the Packers’ season Sunday, Jan. 7, at Lambeau Field. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial and $20 off the first two months).

The Packers (8-8) want to avoid a repeat of last season’s finale, when they blew a chance to reach the playoffs by losing to the Detroit Lions at home.

The Packers have an outside chance of reaching the playoffs even if they lose Sunday, but they’d need plenty of help.

Green Bay has beaten the Bears nine straight times, including a 38-20 victory at Chicago in this season’s opener. Green Bay’s Jordan Love threw three touchdown passes without an interception in that game.

Chicago’s defense has come a long way since that game with head coach Matt Eberflus taking over as defensive coordinator and pass rusher Montez Sweat arriving at the trade deadline. The Bears lead the NFL in run defense and have an NFL-leading 22 interceptions.

Now that defense gets another shot at Love, who has thrown 16 touchdown passes with only one interception over his last seven games. Both teams are playing well, as the Packers have won two straight and six of nine while the Bears have won two in a row and five of seven.

When is Bears-Packers?

Chicago and Green Bay play at 3:25 p.m. (4:25 p.m. ET) on Sunday, Jan. 7.
