  "account": "In Week 4, the Chicago Bears are set to host the New York Jets, with oddsmakers giving the Bears a 3.5-point home favorite. The total for the game is set at 43.5 points. The Bears, currently 2-1, bounced back from a tough loss with a convincing 27-7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Quarterback Case Keenum, who took over after an injury to Caleb Williams, had a stellar performance, throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for another. With Williams likely to miss additional games, it remains to be seen if the Bears will stick with Keenum or start backup Tyson Bagnet in this matchup. The Jets, 1-2, showed improvement in their most recent loss to the Detroit Lions, throwing for 321 yards and three touchdowns. Their Week 2 game against the Packers ended in a narrow 20-17 defeat. The Bears and Jets have previously coached against each other, with Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn sharing coaching experience in Detroit for four years.",
