The Chicago Bears (3-2) are in first place in the NFC North barely ahead of the Packers and Vikings for Week 7 action.

However, a tough matchup this week for the Bears as the Patriots (4-2) return to Soldier Field on Sunday at 12 p.m. CT on CBS.

Vegas Insider had the Patriots opened up as a 2.5 point favorite with the over/under at a high 49. It should be a fun and high scoring game.

One injury to monitor before betting is the status of Bears linebacker Khalil Mack who is still day-to-day with an ankle injury. He will probably be a game-time decision. I wouldn't advise betting on this matchup if he is a no go because the Bears need their star pass rusher.
