Take the Bears vs the weak Saints defense

Take the Bears (+4.5) against a weak Saints defense, writes Sheil Kapadia in his weekly picks column:

“ESPN analyst Brian Griese created a stir Monday night when he mentioned how Nick Foles said during a production meeting that he didn’t always have time to execute the play calls that Matt Nagy was giving him. Overall, though, the Bears’ offense has a lot of quick throws baked in. Foles has gotten rid of the ball in 2.5 seconds or less on 54.2 percent of his pass plays — the third-highest rate of any starter. New Orleans’ defense continues to suffer coverage busts every week and ranks 29th in TruMedia’s Expected Points Added (EPA) model. As of this writing, it looks like the Saints could once again be without Michael Thomas.”
