Atlanta has lost two straight following its miraculous win over Carolina three weeks ago and the Falcons' offense has stalled scoring an average of just 16 points in the two games since. Marcus Mariota was 19 of 30 for 186 yards and two touchdowns with an interception in the rematch with the Panthers, but he also was the leading rusher with 43 yards on three carries. The Falcons have gone UNDER five of their past seven games and this game's posted total is inflated somewhat due to Chicago's recent defensive woes. The Bears suffered a costly miss on an extra point and lost to Detroit 31-30 on Sunday although Justin Fields threw for 167 yards and ran for another 147 and the Bears became the first NFL team in the Super Bowl era to run for at least 225 yards in five straight games. All of which is time-consuming and will help keep the Atlanta offense off the field. The Falcons are 3-7 ATS their past 10 home games and 0-4 ATS their last four overall. Also, Atlanta is 35-16 UNDER its past 51 November games and 7-3 UNDER its past 10 home contests. Chicago's last two losses have been by a total of four points. Take the Bears and the UNDER.
