Live chat for the NFL London game, open thread: Jaguars vs. Bears

The Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears battle across the pond and will open Week 6 games on Sunday. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England will host this week's cross-conference clash.

The Jaguars (1-4) dropped their first four games of the season, but were finally able to secure a record in the win column in Week 5, beating the Colts 37-34 with a field goal in the final minute of the game. The Bears (3-2), like all teams in the NFC North, have a winning record and are coming off a win over the struggling Rams.

Betting line and tip for the game

Despite only having one win this season, the folks at FanDuel Sportsbook are leaning slightly toward Jacksonville and have set the betting limit at Jaguars -1.5 points.

The Jaguars are 6-5 entering London and have won there twice in 2023, but they will need to step up their defense in this game to maintain their winning streak. Both offenses performed well last week, but while the Bears' defense looks balanced, the Jaguars' pass defense is struggling.

Here's how to watch the game this morning:
