Thursday night’s matchup between the New Orleans Saints (7-6 SU, 9-4 ATS) and the Chicago Bears (7-6 SU, 6-6-1 ATS) is like oil and water. (AP Images)

The Saints lead the league in offense at 6.3 yards per play and 7.8 yards per passing attempt, but their defense is below average. The Bears lead the league in turnovers created at 27, but their offense is below average.

It figures to be a close contest. The Bears, however, are 3-point favorites for Thursday (even money). Chicago gets the chalk because of Soldier Field; temperatures for this primetime affair are expected to dip below 30 degrees, which should be enough of a challenge for the dome-based Saints even under mostly clear skies. The Saints are 1-5 SU and 3-2 ATS on the road this season.

As usual, we’ll have live betting available for this NFL Network broadcast, starting at 8:15 p.m. Eastern.
