*** Chicago Bears to Win the Division +130 ***

Chicago Bears to Win the NFC North

Been watching this line for a while and while I was going to make this bet last week, I knew the line would get better when the Packers beat the Texans. Last week before the Packers beat the undefeated Texans by 20 on the road, the Bears were +120 to win the division. After that impressive win, the line only changes 10 cents against the Bears? Seems Vegas doesn't like the chances of GB winning the division either.

Bears have 1 loss with 11 games to go.
Packers have 3 losses with 10 games to go.

Both teams have similar schedules with a slight edge to GB but Chicago is the MUCH better team here. People forget they were playing better than any team in the league last year before Cutler and Forte got injured and were serious contenders. I love their chances this year especially because they continue to fly under the radar. All this NFC talk about the 49ers, Giants, and Packers but what about the Bears? Did everyone not see what that Dline did to the Cowboys on MNF?

Week 15 Bears face the Packers in Soldier field. Bears win that game and the Packers have no chance of winning the division based on each's schedule. There's also no way the Bears won't be a favorite in Soldier Field so getting them now at +130 is great value.

Even if the Bears lose week 15 they still have a chance at the division but if the Packers lose week 15 the division title goes to the Bears.

I'll gladly put my money on the more complete, overall team that is flying under the radar, has a 2 game lead in the loss column, and have homefield for the final head-to-head game of the year.

Bears #3 overall defense.
Bears #1 rush defense.
Bears #1 in sacks at 3.6 sacks per game.
Bears with a 2 game lead over the Packers.
Bears at +plus money.

Great bet Bears will beat GB at home and division is theirs.

has this one in early myself

Agree totally.

I like this bet too, not only because they are my favorite team, but because they are good this year, like you said last year they were contenders until Cutler & Forte got hurt, and this year they've added Brandon Marshall who's been a really good addition so far.

Unfortunately my book Bovada only has them at even right now with the Packers at +150, wish I could get the Bears at +130 like you.

Sorry buddy, I researched this exact same situation and I believe the Bears won't finish as well as it looks.

I think your underestimating how good the Bears are this year. Road game in Arizona will be trouble? Chi D vs Arizona's offense? Even if the Bears lose 4 more games this year they will win the division at 11-5 but I don't even think they'll lose 5. Bears are legit contenders. I'm not 100% sold the Packers will even get by the Rams this weekend

Hyping up Mondays game already??!! Good try.....

I love cutler - he's an elite QB...they say.

Time will tell LC. Good luck with the Bears.

haha, +3200 is great odds though nice.

Line just dropped back down to +120, the same odds it was before the Packers just blew out the undefeated Texans on the road

What about ny VIKINGS

 

meant my not ny duh

Too early to tell... But Green Bay takes the win.

Vikings are playing great but they will go 0-2 when traveling to CHI and GB. They might get lucky and get 1 win in Minnesota against the 2 but going 1-3 against those 2 teams isn't gonna cut it. They need another year or two still to really compete.

Bears look good...Good chance the Packers dont make the playoffs..

as always  ( post #19 )

Bears have been playing mostly sucky teams thats why they look good

 

 

tell that to the texans

I like the play but would like a little better value than +130.  I'll keep my eye on it, and if they have a let down game that takes it in the +150 range I may play it then.
