Chicago Bears at Atlanta Falcons: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 11 matchup

It feels like Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears (3-7) have finally figured things out, but can they pull out a road win over Kyle Pitts and the Atlanta Falcons (4-6)?
Fields is looking more like a legitimate top-tier quarterback each week and he'll play in the friendly conditions of a domed stadium Sunday. Will the Falcons contain the second-year running threat? And can quarterback Marcus Mariota and Atlanta bounce back in a big way? The game kicks off Sunday at 1 p.m. ET from the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Lorenzo Reyes: Bears 28, Falcons 24
Chicago, with Fields fully activated as a dual-threat QB, looks like a team that is poised to break out … as long as it can solve its defensive lapses. The Falcons, meanwhile, have hit a skid, failing to cover their last four games after they ripped off six covers to start the season. I think Fields elevates the Bears. I also love Chicago on the moneyline here.
Safid Deen: Bears 30, Falcons 28
Fields and the Bears' offense have been rolling in their last three games, but haven’t been able to get over the hump with a win. They’ll do so this week against the fluky Falcons.
Lance Pugmire: Bears 34, Falcons 20
Fields’ breakout performances the past two weeks have been among the league’s most compelling stories. There may be fear about the risk of his daring runs, but his keenness to the openings is exhilarating theater.
Jarrett Bell: Bears 27, Falcons 23
Nate Davis: Bears 27, Falcons 24
Tyler Dragon: Falcons 20, Bears 17
