Looking closer the Jets have been a very solid 5-2 ATS on the road and 4-0 ATS when playing on natural grass, like they play on at vintage Soldier Field. \u00a0They are also perfect in expected tight games, 2-0 ATS when the spread is 0 to +3 like it is this weekend.  <a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ykgz0JMEjDFP2Nd7ZgqdRLk\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"width: auto; height: auto; margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/media.partners.betus.com\/BANNERS\/football\/sportsbook_kickoff_300x600_mybanner2.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chicago Bears<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Bears also needed to get back on the winning track last week after being pummeled by the Patriots&#8230;and they did with a good victory in the cold against the Vikings. \u00a0One more win could guarantee them a first round bye and making sure that everyone, save Atlanta, would have to come through the Windy City.<\/p>\n<p>The Bears looked very good on Monday. \u00a0Defensively they were helped by facing rookie QB Joe Webb in his first real taste of NFL action but what was most impressive was the offense. \u00a0Cutler proved that he can operate in the cold by throwing for 3 TDs and RB Matt Forte looked very fresh running for 92 yards on only 17 carries. \u00a0It was the kind of total performance that a division winner should have.<\/p>\n<p>The Bears should be expecting another bout of cold weather when they host the Jets on Sunday. \u00a0This team is only 4-3 at home this season so it would be good if they can establish their ability to play in bad weather given the likelihood of them hosting a playoff game in just a few weeks. \u00a0This week they play against a playoff calibre opponent in the Jets so it will be a good test.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Pick: <\/strong> Two tough defenses in this one. \u00a0I like the Jets offense a little better and I think they should feel a little more urgency to punch their playoff ticket this week on the road. \u00a0I am on New York in what should be a real defensive battle. \u00a0Jets are 6-1 on the road this year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NFL Gambling Trends<\/strong><br \/>\nJets are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games on grass.<br \/>\nJets are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog of 0.5-3.0.<br \/>\nJets are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog of 0.5-3.0.<br \/>\nJets are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 road games.<br \/>\nBears are 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.<br \/>\nBears are 6-13-2 ATS in their last 21 games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game.<br \/>\nBears are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite of 0.5-3.0.<br \/>\nBears are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games in December.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Score Prediction: \u00a0New York 24 &#8211; Chicago 17<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<em><strong><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/go\/bovada\">NFL BETTING SEASON PROMO: A 100% match play bonus for 1st Time players Up To $500.
