The Bears continue to slide down the rankings in terms of rushing yards allowed this season, now surrendering an average just shy of 150 per game over their last three outings. Chicago’s rush defense has also been even worse on the road, compared to home games this season. It sets up a nice spot for Aaron Jones on Monday Night Football, with a familiar matchup that he’s dominated recently, while priced as a heavy home favorite.
Jones has been somewhat bottled up over the last several weeks, but broke out of his slump last week, and is in position to carry some of that momentum into this matchup with the Bears. In a win over the Falcons last Sunday, Jones finished with a 13-73-1 line on the ground, good for 5.6 yards per carry. That was his best mark in terms of YPC in almost two months. Let’s see if he can build on that against a team he’s familiar with — Jones just had 106 rushing yards and a touchdown on 22 carries against the Bears on November 24.
With Chicago’s run defense only getting worse, the game script and matchup sets up well for Jones to have a big game on the ground on Monday night.
PLAY: Aaron Jones OVER 65.5 Rushing Yards (-115) 1-unit
