Experts heavily favor the Bears over the Falcons in Week 11

After suffering back-to-back losses, the Atlanta Falcons (4-6) desperately need a win in Week 11 to stay alive in the NFC South with seven games left to play in the season. The Falcons were leapfrogged by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who currently hold a one-game lead in the division.

On Sunday, Atlanta hosts the struggling Chicago Bears (3-7). Chicago blew a 14-point fourth-quarter lead to the Lions in Week 10, but despite each team’s recent struggles, the experts are favoring the Bears over the Falcons in Week 11.

The Falcons are not an attractive team for experts to hedge their bets on as the quarterback play has been suspect as of late. On the other side, Bears QB Justin Fields has been taking off over the last few weeks following a slow start to the season.

These two NFC teams split their last six meetings. Chicago’s most recent win came in 2020, and Atlanta’s last victory was way back in 2017. Since both teams love to run the ball, Sunday’s game will likely come down to whoever controls the line of scrimmage.
