The Bears are the better team, but I don't think they should be laying more than a field goal on the road with their backup QB. The Bears offense has already had some issues away from home this year, and having Chase Daniel at QB should exacerbate them. I can see Saquon Barkley doing enough on offense to keep the Giants in the game and a few key turnovers giving them the chance at the outright win.
I love Chicago in this game. Chase Daniel played well last week, he's been around a while, he knows the offense. The Bears will be fine if he has to start again for Mitchell Trubisky. Saquon Barkley isn't going to get 100 yards against this defense. And they're not going to allow Eli Manning to feel comfortable. Lay the points.
The Bears are a very fun team to watch defensively. They're aggressive at all three levels of the field. And while the Giants OL has played much better as of late, you still worry about Eli Manning's skittishness in the pocket. On the other side of the coin, I worry about the defensive depth of the Giants. Especially when you consider they'll have to chase both Tarik Cohen and QB Mitch Trubisky around the yard all game long.
