NFL betting tips: New England Patriots @ Chicago Bears
3pts Chicago Bears (-2.5) to beat New England Patriots at 10/11 (General)
2pts Colston Loveland over 43.5 Receiving Yards at 20/23 (Betfred)
2pts Hunter Henry anytime touchdown at 12/5 (Coral, Ladbrokes)
Thursday Night Football is upon us once again and, this week, it’s the turn of the Bears and the Patriots, two sides rocking 4-2 records as we enter week seven.
A standout name in the player prop markets this Thursday is Bears’ tight end COLSTON LOVELAND.
The Chicago man has been a key component of the Bears’ offence in the last few weeks – picking up 21 targets across his last three outings – and his yardage line of 43.5 looks very gettable against the Patriots, based on previous match-ups.
He hauled in 65 yards last week and, with Caleb Williams looking as accurate as he’s been in the NFL, he looks a good shout.
Speaking of tight ends, HUNTER HENRY of the Patriots is hard to ignore in the touchdown market.
The New England vet has been on the scoresheet in each of his last two games and the Bears defence he faces this week have shown some fragility against his position.
Notably, Kyle Pitts of the Falcons grabbed a brace just a week ago. Look for Henry to make it three in a row.
What's the best bet for New England Patriots @ Chicago Bears?
Caleb Williams looked incredible back last week, and that’s enough for me to put faith in a home favourite. Particularly an in-form favourite, requiring only a field goal to clear the handicap.
The BEARS are experiencing form like they haven’t seen for a number of years and with some of their key men back on the field, I expect that to continue.
