I typically do not like laying double digit points but I do see value here as I see the Saints winning by double digits. This Saints team is on another level when compared to the Bears. The Saints for the most part have not had their complete offense together through out the season, missing Brees and M.Thomas, but today they will be at full caliber. While the bears on the other hand will be missing their leading tackler LB Roquan Smith and second leading receiver Darnell Mooney. I do not see Mitchell Trubisky playing well today, this could be his last game starting as a Bear in my opinion. The Saints defense will be way too much for him. This veteran secondary is the best that he will be up against and hungry; Malcolm Jenkins, Janoris Jenkins, Marcus Williams, and Marshon Lattimore (best secondary in the NFL in my opinion). In addition, the pass rush will not make it easy for him as well as I see Cameron Jordan and Marcus Davenport having a field day. The Saints will start their playoff run by making a statement in this game on their home field. They will show to a true contender that will be making a run for the SB. The Saints have the coaching and player advantage as they are simply on another level. I am taking the Saints -10 against the Bears. *2-0 posting record in NFL playoffs
