  "account": "Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season is set to kick off with a Thursday Night Football showdown between the New England Patriots and Chicago Bears. The Patriots boast an edge in the all-time series, having triumphed 11 times to the Bears' 4. In their last seven matchups, the Patriots have claimed six victories. Their most recent meeting occurred in 2024, where New England emerged victorious at Soldier Field with a score of 19-3.\n\nSeveral familiar faces are expected to take the field Thursday night, including several former Eagles now playing for either the Patriots or Bears. For the Patriots, wide receiver A.J. Brown has returned from injury, while cornerback Kevin Byard, linebacker Christian Elliss, wide receiver Mack Hollins, tight end Cameron Latu, and inactive defensive lineman Milton Williams will also be on the roster. On the Bears side, linebacker T.J. Edwards is listed as doubtful due to a hamstring injury, while defensive linemen Kentavius Street and running back D’Andre Swift are also questionable.\n\nThe game will air on Prime Video at 8:15 PM EST, with Al Michaels, Kirk Herbstreit, and Kaylee Hartung serving as the primary announcers. Radio coverage will be provided by Westwood One, and fans can stream the match online via FuboTV and Prime Video. The current betting odds have the Patriots as 3-point underdogs (+3, +134), with the Bears as 3-point favorites (-3, -158). The over/under for the total points scored in the game is set at 50.5.
