Sportsbook Odds Analysis
The spread and total have both moved half a point from their opener, with Chicago now going off at -6.5 instead of -7 and the total now sitting at 40.5 points, down a half-point from its opener of 41. Chicago has been favored in all five of its home games this season but is just 2-3 SU and ATS in those five games.
New York News & Notes
It feels like forever ago that Daniel Jones burst onto the scene with a come-from-behind win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and sparked a 2-0 SU and ATS run for the Giants. Jones hasn’t been the problem; in the team’s last three outings, he has produced two games with four touchdown passes and no interceptions. The issue over New York’s 0-6 SU and 1-5 ATS slump is the defense, which has allowed 32 points per game over that stretch.
Perhaps this pitiful Bears offense will be just what the doctor ordered for a defense that can use all the help it can get. The Giants are 4-1 SU and ATS in their last five games against the Bears.
Chicago News & Notes
What happened here? Chicago is one season removed from a 12-4 SU and ATS campaign, and it seemed to be picking up where it left off when the team opened the season with a 3-1 SU and 2-2 ATS run.
But since winning their last three games of September, the Bears are 1-5 SU and ATS over their last six games. This Mitchell Trubisky-led offense has mustered only 14.3 points per game over its last four games. Trubisky is listed as questionable this Sunday, but would his absence even make a difference?
Chicago is 6-1 SU and ATS in its last seven home games against teams with losing records. The Bears’ one win in their last six games came as a 6.5-point favorite at home against the Detroit Lions.
Betting Pick: New York +6.5
The Giants have had a bye week to rest and prepare for one of the league’s most underwhelming offenses. Now is as good a time as any for the defense to step up with a decent performance.
