The New York Giants (2-8) will take on the Chicago Bears (4-6) at Soldier Field on Sunday in a game that could result in Big Blue’s elimination from the playoffs.

Expert picks are heavily siding with the Bears — 8:2 — with most of those expecting a a very close contest.

How does the Giants Wire staff see this Week 12 battle shaking out? Here’s a look at our picks and score predictions:

Dan Benton: Bears 24, Giants 20

The Bears are terrible offensively, but the Giants defense may just be what the doctor ordered. I know we’d all like to believe this is a game where the defense can excel, but I simply can’t force myself to believe that’s what’s going to happen. Rather, Mitch Trubisky & Co. play their best game in weeks, while the Giants offensive line can’t find a way to stop Kahlil Mack ends up taking things over.

John Fennelly: Giants 20, Bears 17

The losing streak has to end sometime and where better to end than in Chicago where these Bears are struggling to score points? If the Giants and Daniel Jones can play a turnover-free game, they have a really good chance of coming away with a victory on Sunday. But that is asking a lot. They’ll need to have Saquon Barkley at his beastly best and the defense has to start creating some turnovers.

Doug Rush: Bears 27, Giants 24

The Giants return from the bye week and dive into the final six-game stretch of their season against a Bears team struggling to cling onto playoff hopes.

Mitchell Trubisky has been struggling this season and has a lot of Chicago fans demanding for another quarterback to lead the team. Remember, they traded up one spot for him and passed up on both Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson.

On the flip side, the Bears defense is absolutely ferocious and all eyes have to be on where Khalil Mack is on the field at all times.

This game will be a major test for Daniel Jones, especially against a top-ranked defense in Chicago, on the road and in the cold. Which Daniel Jones will show up — the one who throws several touchdowns or the one who has several turnovers in the game?

Lately, it’s been a bit of both. If the one that shows up causing turnovers, the Giants aren’t leaving Chicago with a win. And in this case, the Giants losing streak stretches to seven games.

Tyler Henry: Bears 28, Giants 24

The Giants are coming off a bye and hoping to put an end to their six-game losing streak. The offensive line should have their hands full with the Bears’ pass rush, as the Big Blue offensive line has not played well this year. If the Giants are unable to get anything going on the ground with Saquon Barkley, the offense could really struggle. The Giants will be without their top two tight ends as both have been ruled out.

Defensively the Giants may have on of their best matchups of the year. The Bears offense has really struggled, but I just believe that the Bears are the better team. With back-to-back matchups against NFC North appointments, this losing streak could continue past this Sunday.

Pat Ragazzo: Giants 20, Bears 17

The Giants are facing a struggling Bears team (4-6), whose playoff hopes are currently on life support. The Bears anemic offense (182 passing and 79.9 rushing yards per week), plus the struggles of Mitchell Trubisky are reason enough to believe the Giants could potentially put the nail in the coffin on Chicago’s 2019 campaign. Expect a low-scoring contest, but the Giants will pull out victorious in the end as the Bears are currently in shambles from the top-down.

Kevin Hickey: Bears 20, Giants 18

This is shaping up to be a sloppy game. While the Bears have some semblance of playoff hopes, the Giants are already looking toward the 2020 NFL Draft. Even though this game is winnable for Big Blue, there will be too much to overcome on the road against a tough defense.

Daniel Jones has impressed just about anyone who has watched him play this season. His ball placement, pocket mobility and poise are all plus traits that have Giants fans optimistic of what the future might hold. But his turnover issues will be on full display in this game. The Giants won’t have any answer for Khalil Mack, who is likely to record a strip-sack or two.

The defense should key on David Montgomery while forcing Mitchell Trubisky to throw the ball. Matt Nagy’s offense is forced to feature the rushing attack, which should funnel the defense toward the run. Allen Robinson is likely in for a big game against the Giants secondary. Markus Golden adds another sack while Jabrill Peppers grabs his second interception of the season.

Still, the Giants are 0-3 in their last three road games. The Bears defense is going to win it for Chicago on Sunday.

Mike Moraitis: Bears 20, Giants 16

While I’d like to think the Giants can exploit a suspect Bears run defense, the health of Saquon Barkley concerns me. With him less than 100 percent, the Giants might be forced to win this game through the air and do so without Evan Engram, which plays right into the the strength of the Bears’ defense.

Granted, the Bears are struggling badly offensively, but the Giants’ defense has more ways to be exploited, and in what will be a close, low-scoring game, a less than 100 percent Mitchell Trubisky and the Bears will be able to lean on the run to win.

Serena Burks: Bears 24, Giants 17

These two teams aren’t that far apart in a lot of ways, but the Bears offense will have more luck against the Giants defense than the Giants offense against the Bears defense. The Bears have the eighth-ranked defense in the league and the Giants still haven’t figured out how to keep their offense on the field. They’re going into hostile territory, and Mitchell Trubisky will work hard to get a win after returning from injury.
