As if the Bears didn't have enough trouble scoring points, now they have to deal with fog in Foxborough? There could be some mist/drizzle as well. Struggle to see Chicago even get to 13 points and the Bears should be able to hold the Patriots to under 27 even with Mac Jones back. I'm not sure he's even better than Bailey Zappe.
The Patriots defense has had trouble stopping the run at points this year, so it's possible the Bears offense can get into a rhythm. But if that unit falls behind at all, it could be lights out as New England pours it on against Justin Fields. The Patriots offense is now eighth in yards per play, including third passing the ball, and Bailey Zappe has looked surprisingly solid running the offense. I expect New England to dominate in the trenches on both sides of the ball, and while I'd rather not have to lay the hook, I don't think this line is going down with the Patriots on a roll. I'm not as down on the Bears as I was at the beginning of the season, but this is a brutal matchup for them.
