It's hard to take Chicago ML when the line keeps moving up with 67 % on the ML for Chicago... If Vegas doesn't want to give away money they would adjust accordingly.

Just a thought and good luck.

Negligible factors.

That was much ado about nothing.  That was a media-created controversy.  We can only imagine the shouting matches that take place every week behind closed doors between teammates and/or players and coaches (and I mean throughout the league).

These guys seem to play with a nothing to gain attitude.

They lost that game and failed to cover the spread.

Has nothing to do with tonight's game.  The public also had the over and lost, which also has nothing to do with tonight's game.

Maybe just maybe there is a shred of pride and professionalism in this team that will get triggered tonight after they have received a beatdown on the field and in the press all year long.

 

 

That's funny.  Seriously, it's a real gamble to hope they care.  These guys haven't cared to cover a spread in two months.

Was there any rationale reason to take Tampa Bay on road yesterday as 14 point dogs against an angry Saints team coming off a loss? No, not really.

 

 

Shit, yes there was!!!  I don't have time to get into it, but I loved the Bucs yesterday with 14 points.  I put 12 units on it.  That was a doggie I just knew was going to bark loudly!  The Buccaneers aren't miserable quitters like these pathetic Bears, as evidenced by Tampa's thorough beating of the Seahawks in Seattle last week.

Correct.  So why are you about to bet on this guy?

Good luck to you

 

 

I'm on the Vikings -8 +100 and -9 +110.  Five units each.

Wait the Bears win outright??. Isn't Cutler still the QB.  He has been colored blind all year throwing to the wrong team.  Favre still a big primetime player.  3 units on Vikes at -7 (tuesdays line) and 2 on the Vikes over 23.5   GL

Nice comments Bator and ATG.  No one seems to be mentioning the pathetic offensive tackles for the vikings.  these guys are really bad and couldnt block the one legged man in the ass kicking contest mentioned earlier  in this thread after a long day of ass kicking.  I also cannot find good reason to like the bears either.  I think a no play for me

In fact the bad O Tackles is probably the real reason childress wanted to pull Brett.  He didnt want him to get killed.

The reasoning wasn't apparent but somehow the Bears look playoff-bound while it's the Vikes who appear to be the ones playing out the string.  I concede defeat.

I'm liking the Bears more and more at plus anything at half time.  Any chance of Childress resting his players in second half?
