Two of the league's top defenses square off in the playoffs this week as the Chicago Bears and their second-ranked unit host the Carolina Panthers and their third-ranked unit.
The Panthers clashed with the Bears at Soldier Field back in Week 11 of the regular season, with the Bears victorious, 13-3, as a 3-point home dog.
The Panthers come in as a slight 3-point road underdog and look to improve on their 10-7 ATS Mark. The Bears, 9-5-2 ATS, will try to cover the 3 points at home. Totals bettors see the line opened at 31.5.
The Panthers come off a 23-0 win against New York in the Wild Card round, a game where they were 3-point underdogs. The game went under the closing total of 44.
The Bears were on the losing end of a 34-10 contest versus the Minnesota Vikings during the final week of the regular season. Chicago was a 6-point underdog in that game, while the final score went over the closing total (35).
Chicago has battled to get its passing game on track to no avail so far. They average just 125.1 yards per game through the air, among the bottom three in the league. More production is needed from the receivers this week.
Some trends to consider:
Carolina is 1-6-0 ATS in its last 7 games after scoring 21 to 30 points
Carolina is 1-4-0 OU in its last 5 away
Carolina is 2-7-0 OU in its last 9 games
Carolina is 9-17-0 SU in its last 26 games after scoring 21 to 30 points
Chicago is 8-1-0 SU in its last 9 games after scoring 10 to 20 points
Chicago is 5-1-0 ATS in its last 6 home games
Chicago is 3-10-1 OU in its last 14 games
