The Chicago Bears and New England Patriots will clash in Week 7 Monday Night Football in the NFL on October 24.
The Patriots enter play a respectable 3-3. Given the schedule they had to start the season, their start is most likely what most bettors would have predicted. They are last in their division, but given how the rest of the league is playing, the Patriots are still in playoff contention.
Meanwhile, Bears fans should have a less optimistic outlook on the season. They are 2-4, having lost their last three, and given their schedule ahead, it may be a while before they have another win. Unfortunately, Fields does not appear to be the answer to Chicago's struggles; he's averaging an embarrassing 145 passing yards a game. You can't win in the NFL with numbers like that.

Chicago Bears vs New England Patriots Best Pick
When the lines are released every week, it's a treat seeing what Justin Fields' passing prop is set at. He consistently offers the lowest passing props ever presented by sportsbooks.
His passing totals have been on the rise since throwing 70 yards in Week 2. Two weeks ago, he eclipsed 200 yards, and last week he threw 190. Considering this trend, it's difficult to imagine him taking a significant step back. Grabbing the over is the way to go in this one.

Chicago Bears vs New England Patriots Prediciton
The talent being featured in this game is on par with a Thursday Night Football game, but this is what we have on Monday night.
Chicago has looked horrible this season, and the Patriots have been anything but impressive. Anything can happen in prime time, though. While the Bears will likely not win, there's no way this game would be a blowout. Bettors should expect a close game, making Chicago the smart bet.
Chicago +7.5 (-105)
