Take Georgia -2.5 over Chicago
Chi 11-4 4-3 on the road GA 9-6 5-3 at home
Chi has clinched playoff berth and is trying to secure home playoff game
GA is on the way to cliching playoff, but still needs wins
Chi plays at Dallas next week and winner of that game should secure home playoff game no matter what Chi and Dal do this week.
GA plays last two games on road vs weak opponents
Both teams are missing all league players for this game. GA will not have top WR who was tied for league lead in td catches. CHI will not have the league best DB, who was leading league with picks. These losses cancels each other out.
Chicago brings the league 2nd lowest scoring defense, but will not have best Def player on field. Last week at home Chi was tied at half against a weaker team than GA and blew game open after they knocked out the road teams QB.
QB is most important pos in AFL =we have a mismatch here!
GA Brett Elliott 87-15 Started all year
4th in league for TD passess, has three wr with over thousand yards [one is out of this game though] 6th in the league for QB rating
Chi JJ Raternik 69-17 traded to Chi this will be his 2nd start for them
was so good that Kansas City traded him away to Chicago. He is 2-5 on the road this year while at KC.
Chi is playing third week in a row while GA is coming off bye week!
GA averages only 4000 fans for home games, but gave away tix for tonight and will have 10000 in the bldg for season tix promotion
So we have Chi on the road with div rival game looming next week, with qb in his first road start with team and 2nd start overall with team and a playoff position secured, vs GA off a bye, first sellout crowd, a top five qb and fighting to make playoffs.

good situational spot, how do teams off a bye usually do?
