CHICAGO +6.5
I think the Bears will be able to win this game outright. I'm still not sold on the Patriots and think they will sorely miss Mayo in this game. They were able to grind out a win against the Jets, but the Bears have too many weapons on offense and an ok defense. The media is making way too much out of Chicago's locker room argument, and I actually think it will motivate them to come out strong in this game. Only thing that I don't like is that the Pats will have a few more days to prepare but don't think it will matter. Brady has done well in New England, but this isn't the same Pats team as in previous years. I expect Chicago to actually win this game outright, but I'll take the points for insurance because it's tough to take straight moneyline with anyone playing in Foxboro.
