New England Patriots Daily Fantasy Spin
Patriots defensive end Yannick Ngakoue (personal), safety Kyle Dugger (ankle), linebacker Christian Elliss (abdomen), and defensive tackle Christian Barmore (illness) will all sit out Sunday’s road date with the Bears.
New England guard Layden Robinson (ankle), guard Michael Jordan (ankle), defensive tackle Daniel Ekuale (abdomen), defensive tackle Jaquelin Roy (neck), offensive tackle Vederian Lowe (shoulder), and safety Marte Mapu (neck) are all officially listed as questionable to play against Chicago this weekend.
Chicago Bears Daily Fantasy Spin
Bears offensive tackle Kiran Amegadjie (calf), offensive tackle Braxton Jones (knee), offensive tackle Darnell Wright (knee), safety Jaquan Brisker (concussion), and defensive tackle Andrew Billings (pectoral) will all miss Sunday’s game against the Patriots. Jones and Wright are listed as the team’s starting tackles. They’ll likely be replaced by Larry Borom and Matt Pryor on Sunday.
Chicago center Ryan Bates (shoulder), defensive end Darrell Taylor (knee), and linebacker Noah Sewell (knee) are all officially listed as questionable for this weekend’s contest. Bates was activated from injured reserve on Saturday, so there seems to be a real chance of him playing on Sunday.

Patriots vs. Bears Betting Prediction:
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has given the team a unique identity since he took over the starting job. New England is 1-4 straight up in games that Maye has played. Despite that, his QBR of 53.2 is solid for a rookie who has only thrown 125 career NFL passes. If Maye played enough snaps to qualify, his QBR would rank tied for 22nd in the NFL. The player that Maye would be tied with is Jets QB and future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers.
Maye’s ability to run the ball (21 carries, 209 rushing yards, 1 touchdown) sets him apart from many other young quarterbacks. The UNC alum will likely have some extra juice for this game as he’ll be facing Bears QB Caleb Williams. Williams was selected as the #1 overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, two picks ahead of #3 overall selection Drake Maye. Largely because of Drake Maye, I like the Pats to cover their third contest in a row here.
