Chicago Bears Form
The Chicago Bears were dealt a tough blow last week when they lost 20-25 to the Philadelphia Eagles. The defeat extended their losing streak to seven games, leaving their overall record for the past 10 games at 1-9.
The Chicago Bears’ offensive unit has been steadily productive, putting up an average of 20.6 points in its last five matches—close to the team’s season average of 20.7 points per game. The defense, meanwhile, has been just average. In its last five games, opponents have averaged 28.4 points points against them—right around the unit’s season average of 25.6 points points allowed per game.
Unfortunately, the Chicago Bears are already eliminated from playoff contention. While expectations weren’t high going into this regular season, the 3-11-0 hosts are already down and out. Locking onto a strong pick in the NFL draft order is the best they can hope for now.
Buffalo Bills Form

The Buffalo Bills rank up in fourth-place in the NFL’s offensive rankings, with 27.5 points per game this season and 23.7 points on the road. On the defensive side of the ball, the visitors have the second-best unit in football, allowing just 17.9 points on average and 18.0 points on the road.
Despite winning their division, the Buffalo Bills can’t rest on their laurels just yet. The next step for the AFC East champions is to hold on to first seed in the AFC Conference. This will hand them a bye week for the wild-card round of the playoffs.
