The New York Giants (2-8) and Chicago Bears (4-6) will be attempting to make runs to salvage their seasons beginning this Sunday at Soldier Field in Chicago.
The Giants are coming off their bye week, while the Bears are reeling from a frustrating 17-7 road loss on Sunday Night Football at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams.
Our friends over at BetMGM have made the Bears an early 6.5-point favorite over the Giants, who have lost six straight. The over/under opened at 41.5.
Both clubs are only 3-7 against the spread this season, so this one should be interesting. The Bears’ loss to the Rams was also marred by another uneven performance from quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, who left the game after suffering a hip injury in the fourth quarter.
Trubisky and the Bears’ front office are under fire for not only their losing record, but the fact that the Bears may have made a huge miscalculation by drafting him.
In the 2017 NFL Draft, the Bears moved up one spot with San Francisco — from No. 3 to No. 2 overall — surrendering their first-, third- and fourth-round selections (3rd, 67th, and 111th) in that draft as well as a third-round selection in 2018 to land Trubisky, who is being labeled by many as a bust.
