Bears at Jets picks and predictions
Prediction
Bears 20, Jets 17
Moneyline
SPRINKLE BEARS (+250).
The Jets are just a mess right now, and while their defense is strong, White isn’t a great option to lead the offense. He had 5 TDs and 8 INTs last season in 4 games. He has yet to throw a pass this season. Getting anything going offensively may be difficult.
Similarly, while the Bears have a faulty offensive line, Fields, assuming he plays and he’s a game-time decision, makes the difference. He is going to be the game’s best playmaker and, although CB Sauce Gardner has been terrific for New York, Fields’ strength is on the ground. The Jets allow 109.7 rushing yards per game which ranks 10th in the NFL.
Trusting Fields against a releasing Jets team is a great option.
Against the spread
BET BEARS +7 (-110).
The Jets rank 29th in total yards and 22nd in points per game, scoring just 19.9 per outing. They allow 18.6. While the Bears aren’t a strong opponent, the lack of firepower offensively for the Jets is concerning.
They haven’t scored more than 20 points in a game since Week 6. Chicago may not outright win this game, but it should be able to hang without a touchdown spread.
Over/Under
PASS.
If White (8 INTs in 4 games last season) gives up turnovers, the Bears could capitalize with ease which may just increase the tempo of this game.
Similarly, neither team has terrific offensive playmakers outside of Fields, so betting the Over 38.5 (-110) doesn’t feel wise either. I would ultimately pass here as the total is too low to justify taking the Under.
