The New York Giants (2-7) travel to the Windy City to take on the Chicago Bears (5-3) in Week 10 of the NFL season.
In Week 9, the Giants jumped out to an early 7-0 lead over the San Francisco 49ers after tight end Theo Johnson scored the first on their opening drive at MetLife Stadium.
Then the 49ers took over. San Francisco went on to score 20 unanswered points and cruised to a 34-24 victory over the Giants with 49ers fans making their presence known throughout the afternoon.
Now the Giants face a Bears team that just scored a season-high in points on Sunday. It was a rollercoaster, late-game back-and-forth 47-42 Bears win over the Bengals that saw three touchdowns scored in nearly a 90-second span following the two-minute warning.
Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland, the No. 10 overall pick from April’s draft, scored the game-winning touchdown with 17 seconds left as he bounced off multiple Bengals defenders and raced to the end zone to cap off a career day.
Can the Giants avoid a season-high four-game losing streak and win their first game in Chicago for the first time in nearly 18 years when they last did on Dec. 2, 2007?

Here are our staff predictions for the Giants vs. Bears from Soldier Field in Week 10:
Bert Bainbridge
The pick: Bears 27, Giants 23
Here’s why: The Giants defense has been gashed the last three weeks, giving up 33+ points and at least 380 total yards since their upset win over the Eagles in primetime back in Week 6. Now they have to head to Chicago and face a Bears offense that just erupted for 47 points and a whopping 576 yards in Cincinnati last weekend?
Big Blue’s defense isn’t as bad as the Bengals, but it’s also not that much better. The Bears offense should have no problem moving the ball consistently here, as Rutgers grad Kyle Monangai will be a focal point even if D’Andre Swift returns from injury. The G-Men will be able to keep up against the Bears, but ultimately they’ll fall short in the Windy City.
Bob Jordan
The pick: Bears 30, Giants 13
Here’s why: Suffice to say very few people outside the Rutgers and Don Bosco Prep communities had heard of Kyle Monangai before the Bears’ rookie (a seventh-round draft pick) carried the ball 26 times for 176 yards and caught three passes a 47-42 win over the Bengals last week. D’Andre Swift, out with a groin injury, will likely be the primary back when he returns but, man, the Cubbies did look energized.
Brian Marron
The pick: Bears 23, Giants 17
Here’s why: The Bears’ offense is not as good as it looked last week against the Bengals, but it should still have an advantage against a struggling Giants defense that gives up the second-most rushing yards per game in the league. Add in that the Giants are tied for 30th in takeaways and the Bears are tied for third-best in giveaways this season, Chicago should be able to grind out a win.
