Scouting report

Sprinkle's read:Under 50.5 total★★★

A total that asks for more than these offenses give

These two combine for 47.7 points a game against a 50.5 total, and the under is the play.

The number

The number sits 2.8 points over their combined average.

The decider

Bears are without Case Keenum at quarterback (out), and a quarterback change moves every number on this page. Patriots' offense meets a Bears defense that has been average; the edge in that matchup belongs to Patriots. Patriots score 22.7 a game and Bears allow 19.8.

The context

Bears have been the cleaner team with the ball, and in a close game that is usually the difference.

Situational

Patriots are missing Mack Hollins (WR); Bears are missing Dayo Odeyingbo (DE) — worth a notch of caution.
