Bears open as underdogs vs. Falcons in Week 11

The Bears are underdogs for the eighth time this season ahead of their Week 11 matchup against the Falcons.

The Chicago Bears (3-7) will battle the Atlanta Falcons (4-6) on Sunday, where Chicago is looking to break a three-game losing streak.

With the Bears coming off a 31-30 loss to the Detroit Lions (3-6) and quarterback Justin Fields’ continued dominance, oddsmakers believe this Week 11 matchup against Atlanta is a toss-up (but they believe a lot of points will be scored).

The Bears have opened as 3-point road underdogs against the Falcons in Week 11, according to Tipico Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 50.5.

While Chicago’s defense has struggled mightily over the last three games, the Bears offense has thrived. Fields has emerged as one of the league’s most electric players and the offense is averaging 31 points per game over the last month.

This is the eighth time this season that Chicago are underdogs (previously against the San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins). They were favored in Week 3 against the Houston Texans, Week 6 against the Commanders and Week 10 against the Lions.
