The Bears got off to a 0-2 start to their season, but have since strung together three straight wins, including back-to-back 25-24 victories over the Raiders and Commanders. The Bears will now try to extend their win streak to four when they host the lowly Saints on Sunday.

Saints vs. Bears Key Player to Watch
- Spencer Rattler, QB - New Orleans Saints
Despite the Saints' record, Spencer Rattler has put together a solid start to the season. He's completed 68.5% of passes for 1,217 yards, six touchdowns, and just one interception. He's not playing well enough to drag the Saints to victory, but he's not losing them games either. We'll see how he can perform against a struggling Bears defense on Sunday.
Saints vs. Bears Prediction and Pick
In this week's edition of the Road to 272 Bets, I broke down why the Saints are my favorite upset bet of the week:
The Saints may just have one win on the season, but I firmly believe we've seen enough to know that they aren't quite as bad as their preseason projections. Spencer Rattler has shown flashes of competence at quarterback, and their defense ranks in the top half of the Majors in stopping the run, including allowing just 3.8 yards per carry.
I'm out on the Bears. Ahead of their Monday Night Football game against the Commanders, the Bears are 30th in the league in Net Yards per Play (-1.4), 25th in DVOA, and in the bottom 10 in both EPA and success rate.
