Tell me if you’ve heard this one before: The New England Patriots are big betting underdogs this weekend.
The betting lines for Week 10 currently have the Chicago Bears favored by about a touchdown as the Patriots come to town. The game marks an enticing battle between two of this year’s top rookie quarterbacks: No. 1 pick Caleb Williams and No. 3 pick Drake Maye.

Here’s a look at where the betting lines sit as of Monday morning:
DraftKings Sportsbook: Bears -6.5 (-310)
FanDuel: Bears -6.5 (-330)
BetMGM: Bears -7 (-350)
ESPN Bet: Bears -6.5 (-310)
The Patriots continue to flounder in Jerod Mayo’s first season as head coach. Despite a miracle touchdown pass from Maye on the last play of regulation, the Patriots lost to the Titans in overtime to fall to 2-7 on the year.
Meanwhile, the Bears fell to 4-4 last week after a rough 29-9 loss against the Cardinals.
The Patriots are set to take on the Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday, Nov. 10 at 1 p.m. EST. The game will air on TV via FOX.
