Gary Pearson's pick: Patriots +3 (-114 via FanDuel)
The Patriots have shown more than enough recently to have faith in them keeping things close in the Windy City. They averaged 33.3 points in the previous three games and thrashed a Las Vegas Raiders team that only lost to the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs by three points.

Liam Fox's pick: Luther Burden Over 55.5 receiving yards (-114 via FanDuel)
While Rome Odunze battles All-Pro corner Christian Gonzalez on the outside, Luther Burden will feast against the Patriots in the slot. That's been a weakness for New England, and Burden will exploit it by finding soft spots in the second level of the defense.

LJ Blut's pick: A.J. Brown to score a touchdown (+135 via FanDuel)
Brown should have a better opportunity to make an impact as he continues to get comfortable in the offense. His combination of size, speed, and physicality makes him a difficult matchup for any secondary, and the Bears' pass defense could struggle to contain him throughout the game.

Brenden Schaeffer's pick: Under 50.5 (-105 via DraftKings)
The Over is 0-3 in Bears home games, falling short of the total by a league-most 17.2 points per game. The two teams have combined to average 47.7 points per game this season.
