The Chicago Bears are 2-4 this season after they lost to Washington by a score of 12-7 in their last game. Chicago out gained Washington by a total of 391-214, but turned the ball over twice and went 1-4 on fourth down attempts. The Chicago offense is averaging 15.5 points per game with 122.8 passing yards per game and 170.7 rushing yards per game. Justin Fields has thrown for 869 yards, four touchdowns, and five interceptions, while also rushing for 282 yards and one touchdown for the Bears this season. Khalil Herbert has rushed for 402 yards and three scores, while Darnell Mooney has caught 17 passes for 241 yards for Chicago. The Chicago defense is giving up 19.7 points per game and 341.7 yards per game.
The New England Patriots are 3-3 this season after they defeated the Cleveland Browns by a score of 38-15 in their last game. New England gained 399 total yards, went 7-14 on third down attempts, and forced four turnovers in the win. The New England offense is averaging 23.5 points per game with 223.3 passing yards per game and 131.3 rushing yards per game. Mac Jones is questionable for this game, and he has thrown for 786 yards, two touchdowns, and five interceptions this season. If Jones doesn’t play, Bailey Zappe will start, and he has thrown for 596 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception for the Patriots this season. Rhamondre Stevenson has rushed for 448 yards and three scores, while Jakobi Meyers has caught 24 passes for 321 yards and one touchdown for New England. The New England defense is allowing 18.8 points per game and 337.8 yards per game.
Chicago is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 October games. The under is 6-2 in Chicago’s last 8 Monday games. New England is 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games. The over is 7-1 in New England’s last 8 home games. The over is 5-1 in these two team's last 6 head-to-head meetings.
Chicago comes into this game with one of the worst offenses in the league and will need to convert more of their chances into points if they want to win this game. New England’s starting quarterback is up in the air, but both quarterbacks are capable of leading this run first offense. I think we are going to see a slower paced game in this matchup, with both defenses playing well. I like the under here.
