This is a 10* SIDE BLOWOUT on the Bears.

I think the Patriots have looked great over the last two weeks. They started out slowly, but they've made adjustments on the fly and they enter having won two straight.

The Pats have a way of "playing down" to the level of their competition though and I think they'll indeed have their hands full with this now desperate 2-4 Bears team, that can't afford to lose a fourth straight.

It's been a learning process once again for Justin Fields and the Bears. They're only averaging 15.5 PPG. But despite their recent success, Bailey Zappe, Mac Jones and the Pats are only averaging 23.5 PPG.

These teams are similar defensively. The Bears are allowing 19.7 PPG, while the Pats are giving up an average of 18.8 PPG.

Off the big SU road win as an underdog, I think this sets up as natural letdown spot for the Pats. Conversely, the Bears' season is essentially on the line here, and they need a win.

Grab the points, the play is CHICAGO.

Good luck, NP
