BookMaker has the New Orleans Saints listed as 7.5-point favorites at home against the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon in week 9 of the NFL season. New Orleans has won seven of the last ten including the last seven meetings in a row while going 5-4-1 ATS in the last ten and 2-1 ATS in the last three games in the series. The Chicago Bears are 2-5-1 ATS overall, 1-3 ATS on the road, and 2-4-1 ATS as an underdog this season while the New Orleans Saints are 2-5-1 ATS overall, 0-3 ATS at home, and 1-5-1 ATS as a favorite on the year.

Neither team has been great at covering the spread this season as New Orleans has not covered the spread in any of their home games going 0-3 ATS at home while Chicago is 1-3 ATS on the road. However, New Orleans has dominated this series, winning the previous seven meetings in a row while going 5-4-1 ATS in the last ten and 2-1 ATS in the last three contests which is why I am buying the .5 point and laying the points with the New Orleans Saints when they host the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon in week 9 of the NFL season.
