Curious to hear your reasoning behind Chicago. There are many theories out there but I would like to hear yours. I live in Tennessee and ahve seen every Titans game. I really thought they would be overvalued here with Rex in but to me the line is about right.
No disrespect to your Titans, but there 8-0 record to me is a lot of smoke and mirrors. Only 1 team in the 8 has a record over .500 and Kerry Collins isn't the second coming of Roger Staubach. I look at it this way. The Titans closed at -3.5 at home against Green Bay last week. Assuming home field advantage is worth 3 points each way, had Tennessee played at Green Bay, they would be 2-2.5 point underdogs (3.5 minus 3 for losing home field and minus 3 more for playing at Green Bay). Now they are at Chicago and are 3 point favorites. Am I supposed to believe that the Packers are 5.5 points better than the Bears meaning the Pack would be 8 point favorites over the Bears if the game was played in GB? I just don't see that. This line to me is super-inflated due to Tennessee's record. The Bears have a great front 7 and should neutralize the Titan running game. Forte is doing a nice job for the Bears and honestly, Grossman doesn't bother me at all. He is more than capable. This is the toughest test of the season so far for the Titans and I think the Bears win this one outright.
