    now 30-1 on exchange, can offset for profit now

    You should wait. They won't win it all, but your sale odds will be better in a few weeks after they play the AFC West.

    The Bears lost their RG for the season. That's a problem. Doesn't look like their starting RT is not going to get back anytime soon, either.
    Whilst they are playing really good football and are a good team with a solid QB and RB and above average D, I am not so sure those odds will work much higher. I see no value at 30-1, obviously, but if you got in early enough, enjoy your easy money.

    I think it's a good value play actually.

    Man what this team would be with a good WR or 2.

    Pretty good as is.

    You have the option to take field vs. the Bears to win the Super Bowl?

    Bears are making the playoffs with little doubt at this point. Odds on the field will probably be cut a lot, probably around 15-1 like you said

    Bears are good but when it's crunch time they'll find a way to fukk up and fail.

    Obviously not good, but I think he's the one guy on the line they could most afford to lose. Edwin Williams is capable at that spot. However, if anyone else goes down then they have a big problem.

    Not sure where the 90-1 was but that's definitely a great value. 30-1 is probably pretty close. Bears should now be a good 60-65% to make the playoffs as a wild card. If they get one of those spots, you're probably looking at something like 16 or 18-1 to win the SB. Out that together and 30-1 now makes pretty good sense. Again, 90-1 is a great value.

    Bears will not even make the playoffs. I say that as a fan.

    The bears just really aren't that good...Hence the reasons for the outlandish odds to win the superbowl...

    Anything's possible, but the odds are strong that they will. They've now played the tougher part of their schedule (all NFC) and have good H2H splits. 10-6 should get them in almost for sure (and quite possibly 9) which means 4-3 (SD, Oak, KC, Den, Sea, GB, Min). They should be able to find 4 wins in there, if not 5. The only teams that are serious WC threats are Det themselves and then the loser of NY/Dal. Atlanta is a game behind but Atl lost H2H. Nobody else is a threat. So really they're one of 3 teams, maybe 4, fighting for 2 spots and the Bears are in the best position record and schedule wise. I'd bet very large on Bears making the playoffs at anything under -120.

    90-1 is just stale. 30-1 is closer. Not outlandish. In terms of NFC odds right now, GB obviously best chance, SF next and then it's the Bears. Dallas might be dangerous too, but they have a tougher road to playoffs.

    A Bears fan and a Lakers fan?

    Bears are through the hard part of their schedule and 6-3. Why won't they make playoffs?

    what the hell are you smoking??? The bears have a chance to go 12-4 this season


    the only game I see them losing rest of the year is that matchup at Green Bay. Look at their schedule and tell me how many losses you see there

    I could see them losing at gb/minny/oakland and denver. 3 road games out of last 4 to end the season is not good. i could also see them losing at home to the chargers. they are way overpriced at -4 already.

    ridiculous, minny and denver??? are you kidding me??



    the bears will eat Tim Tebow alive and we own the vikings - that should be the 3rd straight double digit win against that team



    and how in the hell is a - 4 line overpriced with how hot the bears are and how awful the chargers have looked recently?? That's -1 plus homefield advantage, you don't think the bears are the better team right now???

    the bears were 90-1 two weeks ago BEFORE their last two games, thus the huge market move

    Their remaining games are not the hardest, there is only 1 really tough game in GB.
    I'd wait.

    Yeah, I can't wait for that Denver game. I don't see them just being up to run all over Bears. Bears are always able to pen Vick in, and that's with the threat of a pass.

    Most people tend to pick a team close to their geography. I was just curious, I am always curious when someone likes a random set of teams.

    I honestly don't know how the Bears won't make the playoffs. They've played one of, if not the hardest schedule in football, and yet they're 6-3 and now it gets a whole lot easier and they are getting better and better.

    I mean their losses are:

    Packers (who wouldn't lose to them?0
    At Saints when they Saints started 0-1 - walked into a buzz saw
    At Lions - first MNF in how many years? Another buzz saw

    lakerboy is just a fukking retard


    the bears will finish with no less than 11 wins and they have the tiebreaker over atlanta (the other likely NFC wildcard team). I'd give you about 90% chance that the bears make the playoffs
