Chicago Bears

New York Jets

The Chicago Bears make their second trip to New York this year but face different opponents in the form of the AFC East’s New York Jets. Will the memories of their first trip to face the Giants in October drive them forward in this Week 12 matchup? We look at how the NFL betting odds envision this one, as well as offering up some expert analysis on which way this matchup will go.

Winter conditions in New York will be no concern for this Week 12’s visitors, and neither will worry about historic performances against their opponents, since the Bears have dominated this series 9-3. The two last met in a 24-10 Bears victory at Soldier Field in 2018, which was reminiscent of their previous 5 interactions in which the Jets failed to come away with a single win.

Much like their neighbors, the Giants, the Jets have struggled to find their footing in their division in recent years, with a number of draft picks wasted on players that no longer make the active roster. They will be hoping for success under new head coach Robert Saleh, and if the preseason was anything to go by, they might be in luck, winning 3 out of 3 of their games.

As for the major showdown between Chicago Bears vs New York Jets in this Week 12 matchup, we recommend wagering on the Bears if you want to bet on NFL games. This is likely to be a well-contested matchup, and much will depend on the physical state of both quarterbacks, particularly with the Jets losing Zach Wilson to injury before the start of the season. The Bears defense might prove too strong for a Jets offense that could only muster an average of 306 yards per game last season.
