New England Patriots @ Chicago Bears
Sunday, December 12, 2010  at 4:15 PM EST on CBS

The Patriots left little doubt as to which team still rules the AFC East with a 45-3 thrashing of the New York Jets on Monday night. Given that their overall record is now 10-2, it would be easy to make the argument they are the best team in the league.

The Bears are 9-3 and 5-0 in their last five games, but still have a number of question marks especially on the offensive side of the ball. The offense remains ranked 29^th overall in the league; 26^th in passing and 22^nd in rushing. They are ranked 21^st in scoring; averaging 20.5 points per game.

New England is 6-2 ATS in its last eight games in December and 6-2-1 in its last nine games overall. Chicago is 1-6-1 ATS in its last eight games in December. The Bears third-ranked defense gets tested again, but this time fails.

The odds makers have the New England Patriots as a -3 point favorite with an over/under of 41.
