Chicago held tough despite losing to the Houston Texans in Week 2, but still need more from its offense in order to get back into the win column.

Week 3 NFL picks for Bears vs. Colts

Before tuning into Sunday's Colts vs. Bears game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season on an incredible 187-130 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 41-22 roll on top-rated NFL betting picks since Week 7 of 2022.

For Colts vs. Bears, the model is picking Chicago to cover the spread. While both teams have young quarterbacks struggling on offense, the Bears have a defense that can help keep games close. Indy's defense ranks 31st in the league, which gives Williams room to finally throw his first NFL touchdown. The Colts are particularly bad against the rush, so Bears running back D'Andre Swift could get into the endzone as well on Sunday. The Bears may not run away with this game, but the model is confident in them to cover the spread. You may be able to stream the game here.
