UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: The Bears opened -2.5 and within a few minutes Sunday night advanced to -3 at PointsBet, a Fanatics Experience. Chicago went to -4 Monday morning, toggled between -4 and -3.5 until Wednesday afternoon, and has since bounced between -3.5 and -3 since.

The Bears are now -3.5 (-105), while taking 64% of spread bets/56% of spread money.

UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: TwinSpires Sportsbook has bounced back and forth between Bears -3 and -3.5 so far this week and currently stands at -3. Ticket count is 2.5/1 and money 2/1-plus on Chicago, in arguably one of the most nonriveting Thursday night games ever.

"It's ugly, but the public is on Chicago. Another prime-time game in which we'll need the 'dog," TwinSpires director of retail sports Zachary Lucas said.

The total is down to 38.5 from a 40 opener, with 56% of early tickets/63% of early money on the Under.

"Prime-time Unders are 22-7 this season, and bettors are riding it again," Lucas said.

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Carolina's win streak was short-lived, ending at one game after a Week 9 home setback to Indianapolis. The Panthers (1-7 SU/1-6-1 ATS) fell 27-13 as 1.5-point underdogs.

Chicago (2-7 SU/3-5-1 ATS) mustered just 3 second-half points in a 24-17 loss at New Orleans. But the Bears cashed as 9-point pups.

"This Carolina team, and unfortunately Bryce Young, look totally broken right now," SuperBook risk supervisor Chase Michaelson said. "Chicago fought hard on the road against New Orleans, and though we closed Bears -1.5 on [last week's] lookahead, the Bears are going to be power-rated higher than Carolina right now. I would think the public will bet the Bears at home."

Chicago is already getting some attention, opening -2.5 this evening, quickly going to -3 and then to -3 (-120).
