The Las Vegas Raiders (3-3) and Chicago Bears (1-5) meet Sunday at Soldier Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Raiders vs. Bears odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
Just what everyone wanted to see — a game featuring backup quarterbacks.
The Raiders are rolling with QB Brian Hoyer under center as Jimmy Garoppolo is out with a back injury. The Bears are going with Tyson Bagent as Justin Fields is out with a dislocated thumb.
The Raiders covered as 3-point favorites with a 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots last week. They’re now 3-2-1 against the spread (ATS) and 1-1-1 on the road. Hoyer came in and connected with 6-for-10 passing for 102 yards. RB Josh Jacobs continues to struggle with just 2.9 yards per carry.
The Bears’ season continues to unravel. They failed to cover as 3-point dogs in a 19-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. They’re now 1-4-1 ATS and 0-2-1 at home. With Fields and RB Khalil Herbert out, expect a large dosage of RB D’Onta Foreman, who had 15 carries for 65 yards last week.

Raiders at Bears picks and predictions
Prediction
Raiders 24, Bears 10
Moneyline
The Raiders have enough talent to get past the hamstrung Bears. WR Davante Adams was vocal about his role in the offense last week, and I look for Hoyer to dial him up as much as possible.
I like the Raiders here, but I’d rather lay the points than pay the -145 for the ML. Also, give DAVANTE ADAMS OVER 69.5 RECEIVING YARDS (-110) a look.
Against the spread
The only way the Bears make this competitive is if Hoyer shoots himself in the foot with turnovers, and the Bears can run the ball effectively. Take the RAIDERS -2.5 (-110) here as it should be an easy cover.
Over/Under
The Raiders are 1-5 O/U this season, and the Bears are 5-1. The last time these teams met, in 2021, it was a 20-9 Bears win. The backup quarterbacks have this line a little low, but it’s still well within the realm of cashing an Under.
Take the UNDER 37.5 (-110).
