The Houston Texans take on the Chicago Bears Sunday at 12:00 p.m. CT at Solider Field.
The Texans are 4-8 and their playoff chances are dependent on a combination of winning out and the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts, both of which are 8-4, losing out. The odds of it happening are very, very slim.
For the Bears, they are 5-7 on the year, third place in the NFC North. The Green Bay Packers are 9-3 atop the division, and the Minnesota Vikings are 6-6. They would need the rest of the division to take on losses at the end of the season while also winning out themselves. Chicago just needs their first win to break their six-game losing streak.
According to BetMGM, the Texans are one of 10 road favorites, favored to beat the Bears at -1.5. The Texans’ odds are tied with the Atlanta Falcons (-1.5) and Buffalo Bills (-1.5) for the slimmest of Week 14.
The Bears and Texans’ over/under is 45.5, which is tied with the Denver Broncos at Carolina Panthers for the sixth-lowest of the week.
