Chicago +6 @ N.Y. Jets

1:00 PM EST. The status of Bears quarterback Justin Fields looms large here, but the fact that the oddsmakers posted a number like this tells us all we need to know. Fields is unlikely to play and even if he does, the books don’t give a shit about getting caught with their pants down. Fields is “questionable” with a sore shoulder which he injured in the Bears loss at Atlanta last Sunday, and although he did take a few reps in practice head coach Matt Eberflus said, "My preference is to play if he's 100% ready to play.” Fields’ injury is to his non-throwing shoulder, but he separated and partially tore ligaments in it so we’re not going to hold our breath on his return. In fact, we hope he’s out. Trevor Siemian would get the nod if Fields can’t go.

The injury chasers are buzzing here, but the Jets are not the kind of team one should be spotting points with. New York has its own problems, as starting quarterback Zach Wilson will be in street clothes after getting benched this week. Wilson was brutal in the Jets’ 10-3 loss in New England on Sunday, and did not handle himself well at the post game press conference. When asked if the offense was letting down the defense, Wilson answered with a simple, “no,” which did not sit well in the Jets locker room. Jets’ coach Robert Selah made the call that Mike White would start at QB this week, but he made it clear that Wilson wasn’t done in New York, “The full intent is to make sure Zach gets back on the football field this season. When that is, I'll make that decision. I'll take it day-to-day."

Mike White has not thrown a pass this season, but he is now tasked with running a limp offense that is spotting a touchdown to the Bears. Is White really that much of an upgrade over Wilson? Is Siemian really a significant downgrade over Fields? This line is inflated by those perceptions. Even if Joe Namath was suiting up for the Jets, Gang Green can be favored in this range over anyone in this league.
