In this article, we will formulate a Chicago Bears vs New England Patriots Prediction for this NFL Week 9 game on Sunday, November 10th, at Soldier Field.
Another Down Year for the Patriots
After so much success for so many years, the Patriots are now one of the worst teams in the NFL and they are coming off another loss. Drake Maye ended up forcing overtime against the Tennessee Titans in the last game, but they ended up losing 20-17 in overtime. Drake Maye completed 29 of his 41 passes for 206 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Maye was also the top rusher, finishing with eight carries for 85 yards.
The Patriots on the season are averaging 15.7 points, while their defense is giving up 24.1 points per game. The offense is ranked 30th in the league, while the defense is ranked 21st. One issue for this team is they are averaging only 3.11 points per game in the first quarter. In this game, they need to get the offense out to a faster start.
Bears Giving up on the Season?
The Bears really appear they are giving up on the season after trading away Khalil Herbert at the trade deadline. The Bears in the last game faced off against the Arizona Cardinals in the last game, and they scored only nine points, but the defense gave up 29 points and that led to the defeat. Caleb Williams completed 22 of his 41 passes for 217 yards. Rome Odunze is coming onto his own, and he finished with five catches for 104 yards. Williams has looked like he has regressed in the last couple of games, and he’s going to need to be a lot better here.
The Bears are averaging 21.5 points, while their defense is giving up 18.5 points per game. The offense is ranked 19th in the league, while the defense is ranked 5th. In this game, the Bears are going to need to find a way to get the offense going to try to manufacture some points.
Why the Bears Will Beat the Patriots
- The Bears have won each of their last seven Sunday games at Soldier Field.
- The Patriots have lost each of their last nine games as underdogs against NFC opponents.
- The Bears have covered the spread in each of their last six games at Soldier Field.
- The Patriots have failed to cover the spread in nine of their last 10 games against NFC opponents.
- The Bears have won the first quarter in three of their last four home games against AFC East opponents.
- The Bears have won the first half in each of their last four games at Soldier Field against teams that held a losing record.
Chicago Bears vs New England Patriots Prediction
This game is going to be an ugly one in terms of the offense, and that will lead to this game being lower-scoring. Williams had shown regression the last couple of games, and he’s going to really struggle to move the ball here. The Patriots are averaging only 15.7 points per game, and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. Neither team will reach 14 points here. Back the under to cash.
