Fans may be unwilling to admit it, but the Giants are a very bad football team. Eli Manning has never been elite, and it's possible that he's regressed from his previous top-10 status to a middle-of-the-road starting QB. The Giants are very good at wide receiver, but can you find another position on the roster that isn't a weakness? The defensive line could still potentially bounce back, but the running backs, offensive line, linebackers, and secondary are all downright atrocious.
On the other hand, the Bears are a pretty underrated team. The defense isn't quite as good as it used to be, but it's still solid, and the offense appears to have made some significant strides. The Bears are the far superior team and should be favored by two touchdowns. As for the total, this a matchup between a team that's horrible offensively and horrible defensively against a team that's good defensively and average offensively. The total should be below the league average (roughly 44-45 points) and not above it at 47.
