To claim the offer, new users must sign up for Hard Rock Bet, download the app, and create an account. After completing verification, a first deposit of at least $5 is required. The promotion applies to a wager of at least $5 on a selection with odds of -500 or longer.

The Patriots and Bears are both entering the game with a 4-2 record. The Patriots are second in their division, trailing the 5-1 Bills, while the Bears are behind the 5-0 Vikings and the 4-2 Packers. Both teams have positive point differentials this season.

Offensively, the Patriots are averaging 374.2 total yards per game, ranking seventh in the league. They are tenth in passing yards per game with 243.5 and sixth in rushing yards per game with 130.7. However, they are in the bottom half of the league in points scored, averaging 22.7 per game.
