| Chicago Bears | -4.5 (-115) |
| New Orleans Saints | +4.5 (-105) |
Chicago jumped out to a 13-0 lead but trailed 17-16 heading into the final frame. Like their victory against the Raiders heading into the bye week, this game came down to the final moments.
Washington was ahead 24-22 and had an opportunity to ice the game. But a botched handoff between Jayden Daniels and Jacory Croskey-Merritt gave the Bears new life. Caleb Williams engineered a 36-yard drive that resulted in the game-winning field goal from Jake Moody, his fourth of the evening.

Williams finished 17 of 29 for 252 yards and a touchdown. D'Andre Swift rushed for 108 yards on 14 carries and had two receptions for 67 yards with a touchdown.
Despite reaching the end zone only once, the Saints were driving for a potential go-ahead score late in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, a video review ruled that tight end Juwan Johnson fumbled the football after it was initially called a first-down reception at midfield.
While the Pats failed to produce points off the turnover, they forced New Orleans to punt with 3:55 left to play and ran out the clock en route to a 25-19 victory.

Spencer Rattler completed 20 of 26 passes for 227 yards and no turnovers. Chris Olave caught six passes totaling 98 yards.
Following their third straight victory, the Bears enter this contest as a 4.5-point favorite. Here's a look at what you need to know for both teams ahead of this Week 7 matchup.
Although Chicago had dropped all five of the previous head-to-head matchups in this series, New Orleans is just 1-5 this season. With that in mind, the edge goes to the home team in this NFC matchup.
