The teams' situations are similar and very different at the same time. Both teams have won a desperately low number of matches on the one hand. One team has won half of its games from its losses (Chicago have five wins and ten losses this season), the other is even worse (New York have somehow scraped together four wins in 11 losses).
At the same time, while Chicago have shown a year-to-year deterioration in performance, the team's core has not changed much. For that reason, it's hard to explain their decline since only two years ago, they were one of the strongest teams in the regular season, and their defence terrified any opponent.
But then, to be fair, injuries intervened. Khalil Mack, one of the NFL's most potent defenses, has already forgotten the last time he had a full season. And he's not the only one.
Nor does the team's offensive line, which has allowed the most sacks to its quarterbacks this season, add any confidence. And yet rookie Justin Fields has played most of the season as a starter. He's certainly talented. But when every other play, your line falls apart like a house of cards and resembles Swiss cheese with holes, it's almost impossible to prove yourself.
It's even worse for the Giants
The Giants have problems of their own. They, unlike the Bears, have forgotten about the good times. The team has been unimpressive since New York beat the Patriots twice in the NFL Finals. And yet this event is about to turn ten years old.
No, sure, there have been some small blips in those ten years, but they've been more of an over-the-top affair. Barkley is constantly injured and can no longer reach the league's best back runner level. Daniel Jones fails to live up to the advances made at the time. The defence, the special teams, the coaching staff are unimpressive. All in all, it's even worse here!
Expert Betting Tips
Both teams have significant problems. That said, Chicago still look more like a National Football League-level football team. The Giants, on the other hand, aren't impressive, not at all. More than that, the Giants are disappointing.
We shouldn't expect a shootout. But betting on Chicago to win the game with Total Under is a better bet.
