If you said a month ago that Week 10’s Denver Broncos-Chicago Bears contest could be a close one, you would’ve been laughed at. But thanks to a bizarre Week 9 that saw a ridiculous amount of underdogs triumph and some big players crumble, the Bears and Broncos could be headed for a tight battle at Soldier Field.
- The Bears are 1-11 SU and 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games as home underdogs.
- The Broncos are 4-1 SU in their last five games on the road.
- The Bears are 3-0 ATS in their last three games after winning as an underdog.
Peyton Manning looked atrocious in last week’s 29-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, tossing four interceptions before being replaced by Brock Osweiler. On Monday it was revealed that Manning was battling a foot injury, which has ruled him out for this game. Osweiler will start in his place.
Chicago, who opened as 2-point underdogs at most sportsbooks, has been a solid play when facing the Broncos as of late. The Bears are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four meetings with Denver
