The New England Patriots are entering their Thursday Night Football matchup with the Chicago Bears as winners of three straight games, tied for the fourth-longest such streak in the NFL right now. And yet, they are not seen as favorites in Week 7.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, New England actually opens as 3-point underdogs on the road.
Odds for Patriots vs. Bears in NFL Week 7
- Spread: Bears -3
- Moneyline: Patriots +128 | Bears -152
- Over/under: 49.5
Like the Patriots, the Bears are also 4-2 this season. However, one of those losses (plus two of their wins) came with starting quarterback Caleb Williams sidelined
due to a hamstring injury. Williams returned on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, and promptly led Chicago to a convincing 31-23 victory. The third-year passer completed 30 of 36 throws for 305 yards and a touchdown in the game.
Kickoff between Patriots and Bears is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET on Thursday, Oct. 18 at Gillette Stadium.
