Chicago had been living on borrowed time, eking out wins against mostly mediocre opponents while being at the bottom of the rankings on offense, but the Bears' fortune ran out in a 24-10 loss to the Rams on Monday Night. Nick Foles passed for 261 yards, but the Bears managed just 49 yards rushing, and they have gained a paltry 175 yards on the ground the past four games. Meanwhile, the vaunted defense gave up 372 yards, including 165 rushing yards on 5.0 yards per carry. New Orleans has won three in a row, and Drew Brees continues to defy Father Time as he completed 80.6 percent of his passes for 287 yards and two touchdowns as the Saints beat Carolina, 27-24, on Sunday. New Orleans converted 12 of 14 third downs, and it's ranked #8 in scoring with 30.0 points per game while Chicago averages only 19.7. The Saints are 6-0-1 ATS in Week 8, and they have covered the spread 36 of their last 53 road games. New Orleans won last year's meeting, 36-25, and Chicago is 2-8 ATS following a loss and 6-13 ATS its last 19 games overall. Also, the Bears have gotten the money just twice their last nine games versus teams with winning records. Lay the points with the Saints.
