The current NFL odds have the New Orleans Saints as a big ten point favorite and the over/under is at 47 total points. The betting public has 58% of their money on the Saints as the home favorite.

These two teams last met in Week 8 of this season, where the Bears took home the 26-23 overtime win. In that game the Bears Quarterback at the time was Nick Foles who went 28 of 41 completions for 272 total yards, 2 touchdowns and an interception, but this go around, Mitch Trubisky will get the start.

They squeaked into the playoffs at 8-8 overall after dropping their game in Week 17, 35-16 to the Green Bay Packers. Mitch Trubisky completed 33 passes for 252 total yards, but had 0 touchdowns and one interception. Chicago can’t depend on Trubisky to win the game for them, they’ll need to have their defense step up and get momentum-changing turnovers to have any chance in the upset.

It was a great team win, with Brees putting throwing for 3 touchdowns and running back Ty Montgomery putting up 105 yards along with the defense holding the Panthers to just one touchdown in the first quarter. Running back Alvin Kamara missed that game, due to health issue, but on Sunday he will be eligible to play.
