New York Giants -3
(NFL) Chicago vs. NY Giants,
Point Spread: -3.00 | 100.00 NY Giants (Home)
Result: Win
I’m fading the Bears. Justin Fields has been horrible to start this season and I don’t see them scoring enough points to cover this spread against the Giants. New York will be looking to bounce back from their primetime loss and I see them running the ball all over the Bears. The Giants are running for 169 yards per game and the Bears are allowing 157 yards per game. They’ve struggled to stop the run all season and that trend will continue in this game. Green Bay ran for 203 yards against them in week 2 and San Francisco ran for 176 in week 1. The Giants will lean on the run game and Barkley, as I see him having a monster game. He has already scored two touchdowns this season and I wouldn’t be surprised if he ran for another one in this game. Fields is also 23-45 this season for 297 yards, 2 touchdowns, and four interceptions. No, those aren’t his stats from last week. Those are for the entire season. He is horrible and he’s not going to be able to consistently move the ball against the New York defense! The Giants are only allowing 19.7 points per game and 347 yards, as it hasn’t been easy to move the ball through the air against New York this season. They are only allowing 208.7 passing yards per game, as Fields will continue to struggle. I expect him to make multiple mistakes and throw a few interceptions in this game. The Giants are better than people expect this season and they will show up at home in this game. The Bears are also 2-6 ATS in their last six meetings against the Giants. New York is the better team in this game and they will show that. The Bears offense will continue to struggle and they will continue to slide in the wrong direction. Take the Giants and lay the points (-3).
