PICK: I’m probably going to take a stab on the Bears. This should be another close, relatively low-scoring game, and Chicago certainly has some things to clean up. The Bears posted just 82 passing yards and two interceptions versus the Texans, but they did a solid job on defense and the running game was great with 281 yards.
As for the Giants, they had a rough fourth quarter in the rivalry game against the Giants on Monday. New York went just 3-of-11 on third down and had seven penalties but overall the offense had some promising moments in a tight game. This should prove to be another good matchup.
