Bookies.com: Take the Patriots to cover vs. Bears

Bill Speros writes: "Mac Jones is nursing an ankle injury. Jones returned to practice this week. He was a game-day decision this past week. Given the Kremlin-like secrecy at One Patriot Place, don't expect a decision on a starting QB here until the absolute last minute. Bill Belichick is in all his glory these days and plans to milk every second. Unless the Bears plan to bring back Richard Dent and Mike Singletary, they won't pose much of a threat against either New England QB."

It writes: "This Bears team has yet to show signs of life, while the Patriots have shockingly excelled under their third-string QB, bringing momentum to their offense. It’s unclear if and when Mac Jones will return, but Zappe is getting the job done."

ATS.IO: Bet the Patriots to cover vs. Bears

Jay Sanin writes: "The Chicago Bears simply do not have the firepower to keep up with most teams right now. They rank dead last in the NFL in passing yards per game, and their 15.5 points per game ranks second to last in the league. They will once again struggle to put points on the board in this contest en route to a resounding loss in New England."
