Odds and Betting Insights

The Jets are at a crossroads for their season, needing a win to keep pace with Buffalo, Miami and New England in the AFC East.

The Jets game plan will focus on exploiting a porous Bears’ run defense. Chicago ranks 29th, allowing 142.6 rushing yards per game on the ground. Michael Carter and James Robinson find a favorable matchup to add to their touchdown totals versus a Bears defense that has surrendered 14 total touchdowns to opposing running backs.

Veteran Trevor Siemian could be starting for Chicago, if Fields is unable to go. The Bears, who are 1-5 SU and 2-4 ATS away from Soldier Field this season, could struggle to move the ball against a ferocious Jets defense that has only allowed four touchdowns to opponents over their last five games.
