Patriots-Bears Betting Preview Backs Under 50.5 as New England Gets +3

Summary
Under 50.5 and Patriots +3 are the main picks for Week 7, with the matchup framed as a low-scoring game despite Chicago being a slight favorite.
Top-10 scoring defenses drive that view: New England allows 209 passing yards per game, while Chicago is expected to keep up a 50%-plus blitz approach against Drake Maye.
Maye still offers prop appeal as a runner, with at least 24 rushing yards in three straight games, even as New England deals with a banged-up offensive line and Romeo Doubs landing on IR.
Chicago's offense looked sharper in Week 6, with Caleb Williams completing 24 of 26 pocket throws and Colston Loveland drawing seven targets, making Loveland over 43.5 receiving yards a highlighted prop.
