Since it is the Patriots, and since their coach is Bill Belichick, and since the Bears have been rather bi-polar this season, I am going with New England. Why? It’s just common sense.

Patriots 35 – Bears 17

We are supposed to lose this game. Believe it or not, we match up pretty well against this year’s Patriots. Typically, I would say going on the road would be tough for us. Not this year. Home is terrible, the road is good, though not perfect. Hopefully after future HOFamer Brandon Marshall’s rant, the team will step it up. We win our next two on the road, and all will be forgotten. We will also be back in the hunt for the playoffs. Playoffs? Playoffs?

Bears 24 – Patriots 21
