Story summary

The New York Jets face the Chicago Bears in Week 4 with significant injuries impacting their roster. Breece Hall, who is week-to-week due to a quad injury suffered against the Detroit Lions, will likely miss the game, leaving backups Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis to carry the load. The team also lacks key players like WR Adonai Mitchell (finger), OL Dylan Parham (knee), TE Mason Taylor (thumb), and LB Kiko Mauigoa (quad). Head coach Aaron Glenn aims to avoid a three-game losing streak, emphasizing that performance is more important than blaming injuries. Meanwhile, the Jets' offensive line struggles continue, with protecting QB Geno Smith from Chicago's defensive front being crucial for any chance of victory. Additionally, this game marks a meeting between former Detroit Lions assistants turned head coaches: Aaron Glenn and Ben Johnson, who will now face each other on opposite sidelines.

🔮 This week’s primetime Sunday game between the Eagles and Commanders will broadcast the dysfunction that has engulfed both teams since their Week 1 thriller went down to the wire.
🔮 Points could come in bunches with the total set at 54.5, as both defenses rank among the NFL’s bottom five in opponent EPA per play and yards allowed per play. 21+.
🔮 The two-time NFL MVP and his rival Josh Allen will face one another for the eighth time in their generational careers.
🔮 Their three-game winning streak came to an end against the Lions last week, and perhaps correcting a couple of botched kicks could have saved them.
🔮 This is a bet-and-get offer, so if you bet $10 on Packers -4, you will get the $200 bonus whether they win or lose.
🔮 |---|---| | Dodgers | +310 | | Brewers | +500 | | Yankees | +700 | | Red Sox | 11/1 | | Mariners | 18/1 | | Phillies | 18/1 | | Rays | 22/1 | | Mets | 22/1 | | Padres | 25/1 | | Guardians | 25/1 | Both the Dodgers and Brewers are expected to bring back the core of their championship-caliber lineups in 2027.
🔮 Green Bay’s NFL-worst rushing attack could finally find some traction against a Panthers defense surrendering a league-high 5.2 yards per carry, particularly with Josh Jacobs back in the lineup.
🔮 An example would be placing a $500 bet on Jaxon Smith-Njigba to score an anytime touchdown.
🔮 It may not be your casual sports viewer’s cup of tea, but it’s a baseball purist’s dream: In an era where front offices spend exorbitant sums of money on power hitters, the two best clubs came to be through speed and smarts.
🔮 Jake Allen has fared worse, allowing 3.7 goals above expected to rank 60th.
