The Chicago Bears had a moment in the NFL draft that could have complemented the strong defense the team has had. They had a choice of Watson, Mahomes, or Trubisky, and that decision has set this franchise back as the offense has been one of the worst in the NFL. While the Houston offense has moved the ball rather well it just hasn't translated to a lot of points, outside of their 41-point outburst vs. the hapless defense of the Detroit Lions. Meanwhile, after allowing 77 points in back-to-back games vs. Tennessee and Green Bay, the Houston offense has improved considerably and has allowed just 21.2 points per game over its last five contests. I think the total has accounted for most of that, but the Bears are too one-sided of a team to keep up, and last week vs. the Lions they were burned for 400 yards in the air and 34 points. I get a sense that the Bears, after opening the season 5-1 and then losing six straight, are packing it in. Make the play on Houston.
