The Chicago Bears (7-7) will look to win their third straight game when they face the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-13) on the road in Week 16. Chicago is aiming to keep its playoff hopes alive. Kickoff from TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville is set for 1 p.m. ET Sunday. Below, we take a look at the early Bears-Jaguars Week 16 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The Bears have won back-to-back games after dropping six in a row, beating the Houston Texans and Minnesota Vikings the last two weeks. The offense still ranks near the bottom of the league in scoring and yards, but it has improved with the Bears scoring 99 points in their last three games.
The Jaguars continue to stall on both sides of the ball, most recently losing 40-14 to the Baltimore Ravens Sunday. The offense didn’t improve with QB Gardner Minshew under center, while the defense had no answer for QB Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense. Jacksonville has lost 13 straight after starting 1-0.
