Why the Bears can cover
Chicago will be thrilled to finally be playing in front of its home crowd again after spending its last four games on the road. The Bears have won all three of their home games this season, beating the Titans, Rams and Panthers. They are coming off back-to-back road losses, so they are desperate to get back above the .500 mark.
Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams had nine touchdowns and three interceptions in a four-game stretch prior to the recent road losses, making this an important time to get back on track with DJ Moore and Cole Kmet. Moore’s only 100-yard outing came in the most recent home game, and the Bears are riding an eight-game home winning streak. Additionally, Chicago has covered the spread in seven straight home games, and New England has only covered twice in its last seven games. See which team to pick here.
Why the Patriots can cover
New England is coming off two of its best outings of the season, which started with a 25-22 win over the Jets as a 7-point underdog two weeks ago. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson had 48 rushing yards and two touchdowns in that upset win, helping make up for the absence of injured rookie quarterback Drake Maye. The Patriots had their starting quarterback on the field last week at Tennessee, and Maye helped send the game to overtime with an exciting touchdown at the end of regulation.
He finished with 206 passing yards and that game-tying touchdown while rushing for a team-high 95 yards. The Patriots ultimately lost in overtime, but they covered the spread as 3.5-point underdogs. They have won five of their last six games against the Bears, who are coming off a blowout loss to the Cardinals. See which team to pick here.
