[Ditka]

The Chicago Bears (6-9) will host the Atlanta Falcons (7-8) on New Year’s Eve in Week 17, where Chicago is looking to record back-to-back wins for the second time this season. The Bears are coming off a 27-16 win over the Arizona Cardinals (3-12), where Chicago was able to close out the game after jumping out to a 21-7 halftime lead. It marked the Bears’ first win against the Cardinals at Soldier Field since 2003. Now, the focus shifts to the final two games before an important offseason. Chicago has opened as 3-point home favorites against the Falcons in Week 17, according to BetMGM. The over/under is set at 38.5. Oddsmakers are feeling confident in the Bears recording back-to-back wins as the season winds down. Chicago are favorites for just the fourth time this season. They were previously favored in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers, Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers and Week 16 against the Arizona Cardinals. The Bears were underdogs 12 times this season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2, Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3, Denver Broncos in Week 4, Washington Commanders in Week 5, Minnesota Vikings in Weeks 6 and 12, Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7, Los Angeles Chargers in Week 8, New Orleans Saints in Week 9, Detroit Lions in Weeks 11 and 14 and Browns in Week 15.
