Da Bears have 5 wins...Can anyone name those teams they beat???

 Well said!!!!!

Good luck to us.

Week 2 - beat Pittsburgh (8-7, 2-5 away) @ home 17-14

Week 3 - beat Seattle (5-10, 4-3 home) on road 25-19 (Note: Seattle's 4 home wins vs Rams, Lions, Jags, Niners - combined road record 4-26) 

Week 4 - slaughtered Detroit (2-13, 0-8 away) @ home 48-24

Week 8 - slaughtered Cleveland (4-11, 2-6 away) @ home 30-6

Week 13 - beat St. Louis (1-14, 1-7 away) @ home 17-9

Some simple math tells us that their 5 wins came vs teams with a combined record of 20-55...and, as outlined, look at the calibre of teams those 20 wins came against

Vikings coming off an embarrassing, inevitable "letdown" last Sunday, after Green Bay lost to Pitt, clinching the division for the Vikes. The Bears are done. Lovie is done. Favre has played, and thrived, in cold weather his entire career. Favre has played at Soldier, in December, many times.

Vikings bounce back BIG tonight. Plus a little extra motivation from the Saints back-to-back losses...This game is over before it began.

Vikings -8

ANYONE PUTTING  HARD EARNED  ON DA BEARS DID NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE WEAKNESS OF THE TEAMS THEY HAVE MANAGED TO BEAT.

I love the over-confident factor you have. Over before it begin??, haha, don't even watch the game man, turn off the TV and call it a night. ..BOL.

Vikings coming off an embarrassing, inevitable "letdown" last Sunday, after Green Bay lost to Pitt, clinching the division for the Vikes. The Bears are done. Lovie is done. Favre has played, and thrived, in cold weather his entire career. Favre has played at Soldier, in December, many times.

And now....for the real facts...

Favre has not played well and thrived in cold weather his entire career, most notably stinking it up to the tune of 1-7 in his career on the road when kickoff temperature is 34 or below. He's lost 6 straight games under such conditions, throwing 3 TDs and 12 INTs.

The Bears have owned Minnesota at Soldier Field, with wins in seven of the last eight meetings.

Favre led the Vikings to a 10-1 start by throwing 24 touchdowns and three interceptions, but the 40-year-old has had three TDs and four interceptions in the three games since.

Vikes have lost 2 of 3 with both those losses coming on the ROAD...at ARIZ they were humiliated on SNF and just last week the Panthers drilled them.....throw in the fact that the sissy Favre is throwing fits and creating locker room turmoil and I have no idea why anyone would lay that kind off of chalk on the ROAD, in a MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL DIVISIONAL TILT.

The home team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 series meetings, with the Bears holding a 5-1 ATS edge in the past six clashes in Chicago.

Finally, Monday Night road faves are a poor 38% ATS over the last 30 years off an upset loss, and the Vikings are 12-23 ATS as a favorite vs. the Bears.

Don't let anyone sway your picks master_fader...for one set of stats one direction there is always some the other way.

IMO....Da Bears arguement I presented is far more compelling

If you dig up the past, you muddy up the present

How many of those 7 losses was Brett Favre behind centre?

How many of those 7 losses was AP running rampant?

How many of those 7 losses was Jared Allen running down Jay Cutler?

As for the two road losses to speak of??? I WAS ON ZONA +3.5 and CAROLINA +9. Zona game was a REALLY bad spot for the Vikes, and Carolina last week was right after they clinched the division with the Packer loss. THIS IS A MUCH BETTER SPOT. Need the W vs a team tryin to just finish out the season.

Make sure to come back after the game...

I doubt I'll be back after the game....

Just presenting opposite sides of the arguement...isn't that what forums are for

The only arguement you brought was of the teams that Da Bears beat...then you say "The Bears are done. Lovie is done. Favre has played, and thrived, in cold weather his entire career. Favre has played at Soldier, in December, many times."

That's hogwash man, and nothing more than an opinion....base it on facts/numbers/trends/stats something than your opinion.

Let me re-iterate again for the mentally challenged in this thread...Favre has stunk it up to the tune of 1-7 in his career on the road when kickoff temperature is 34 or below. He's lost 6 straight games under such conditions, throwing 3 TDs and 12 INTs.

AP hasn't run rampant in 5+ games...so what makes you think he'll all of a sudden just turn it on...sure he could, but recent history says not.

I presented facts...you presented an opinion...

I'm not even 100% certain I am playing Da Bears but I'll be damned that I read a thread where opinions are put forth and the guys riding the short bus jump off for a 2 minute circle jerk with their blinders on.

BOL

Who cares...trends just happen sometimes.

Bears +16 teasers are dead in the water

The only people watching the second half of this one will be fantasy players who are playing in the ship

ALL DAY goes for 150 and 2 TD's. Forte goes into the Williams wall repeatedly. Once Da Bears fall behind, Cutler will be forced to drop back, avoid the heat from Jared Allen, and throw into one of the best secondary's in football.

Couple of Props

Jared Allen O/U 2.5 sacks

Cutler O/U 2.5 INT's

I'll take OVER on both 

I love the over-confident factor you have. Over before it begin??, haha, don't even watch the game man, turn off the TV and call it a night. ..BOL.
