Chicago Bears vs New England Patriots
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Chicago Bears vs New England Patriots is an inter-conference matchup: the NFC Bears hosting the AFC Patriots. Our model leans Chicago Bears's way (62% to 38%, CHI -1.5), but New England Patriots are live enough to make it interesting.
Tactically, Chicago Bears will want to lean on high-ceiling QB to attack New England Patriots, whose wR talent is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, New England Patriots's promising young QB could punish Chicago Bears if line continuity goes unaddressed. Whoever wins that exchange likely wins the game.
Keep an eye on Caleb Williams (QB) and Drake Maye (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. With Bears at home, the model already bakes in roughly a field-goal's worth of home-field edge.
