The Chicago Bears (5-7) and Houston Texans (4-8) are lined up for a Week 14 Windy City tussle on Sunday. Kickoff at Soldier Field is slated for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we take a look at the early Week 14 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The Texans are coming off a 26-20 home loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. With a fumble lost and an interception, Houston finished as a minus-2 in turnover margin. QB Deshaun Watson was also sacked five times, marking the most sacks the Texans have yielded in a single game since September 27. Against the Colts, Watson failed to throw a touchdown pass for the first time since last season (Dec. 21).
The Bears let a late lead slip away against the visiting Lions, as Chicago lost to Detroit, 34-30, on Sunday. RB David Montgomery logged a pair of rushing TDs as part of a 17-carry, 72-yard afternoon. The Bears led the game from the 12:37-mark of the opening quarter until there were 11 seconds remaining in the fourth. The loss marked their third straight at Soldier Field and their sixth straight overall.
