New England Patriots v Chicago Bears NFL picks & odds | 10/24/22

The NFL’s week seven slate is set to finish with an interesting Monday Night Football feature between the New England Patriots and the Chicago Bears. These two teams are trending in the opposite direction and the 3-3 Patriots are expected to win big in their home stadium. While this isn’t the best game, it should be a fun one and we have some picks to make it that much better.

New England Patriots vs Chicago Bears

While the Patriots are a flawed team, they should have an easy time with the lowly Bears. The Bears are 2-4 and their season has been defined by offensive ineptitude. The Bears have the worst passing offense in the league and while they have one of the best rushing offenses, the Patriots should be able to stop them.

The Pats have played very well against the run in recent weeks and if they can shut that down, the Bears will really struggle to move the ball. As a result, the Patriots will be able to do whatever they want on offense and control the clock in this game. This game has a chance to get ugly and the Patriots are simply a better team. Take the Pats and watch them dominate in their home stadium.

Jakobi Meyers Anytime Touchdown Scorer

This season, Meyers has emerged from the Patriots’ wide receiver room as the number one option. He only has one touchdown on the season but Meyers has had at least 50 yards in each game he’s played and seems like he is carving out a bigger role for himself. The Bears have been pretty good against the pass in recent weeks but that shouldn’t matter here. The Patriots will dink and dunk their way down the field with relative ease and Meyers will be a big part of that. At +180 with the top betting sites, Meyers to score is a great value bet given his role in the offense.

Justin Fields Over 44.5 Rushing Yards

This line makes no sense. Justin Fields is the QB for the Bears and he is never scared to scramble for extra yards. He would have cleared this number in each of his last four games and just last week, Fields rushed for 88 yards. Sure, the Patriots know that Fields will want to run and they will try to stop him but it won’t matter. Fields may not be the most accurate, but he is great with his legs and he should be running a lot in this game. Take Fields’ over on his rushing total and watch one of the most athletic players in the league flash the ability that made him a first round pick just two years ago.
