Overview

  • Chicago enters Week 12 at 7-3 and a slight favorite (around -2.5, total mid-40s) against Pittsburgh, with Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers listed questionable due to a wrist injury.
  • The Bears will be without their entire starting linebacker group and top cornerbacks, putting added pressure on Caleb Williams, who has topped 2,300 passing yards with 13 touchdowns and few turnovers.
  • SportsLine’s simulations back the Ravens (-13.5) to cover versus the Jets and the Seahawks to cover at Tennessee, with prop targets including Chicago rookie TE Colston Loveland over 24.5 receiving yards.
  • Monday night’s Panthers-49ers matchup spotlights Christian McCaffrey, who leads the NFL in touches and scrimmage yards, Brock Purdy’s return to form, and Bryce Young coming off a franchise-record 448-yard passing game.
  • In college football, Texas QB Arch Manning accounted for six touchdowns and a career-high 389 passing yards against Arkansas, while Bill Belichick’s North Carolina fell to 4-7 and will miss a bowl.
