    MNF Bears/Jets

    Just made a bet which has a chance of losing 95% of the time but had to do it.

    My local doesn't put up ML until Thursday but for some reason this game had the spread and the ML

    Bears +3 -110
    Jets -3 -110
    Bears ML -110
    Jets ML -110

    Just took Bears +3 and Jets ML -110 and now hoping it lands in between.
    At least I can brag that I have $500 on this game but in all seriousness I think its worth a shot....risking $50 to win a $1000 or maybe even $500.

    What do you guys think is this a good bet?

    Worth a shot I guess. Those lines are bad, obviously. Will he honor it?

    i dunno..jets outta be able to do some damage on offense but now that their secondary is much worse than years past i find myself thinking any gm they playing a legit offense they gonna have trouble keeping up. i like geno but he has to learn to be more efficient in the red zone, now that his d has holes settling for fgs or turning it over after driving the field not gonna cut it.. really like the over at anything less than 47, worry bout bears wrs still being a little gimpy but think marshall set cutler straight in second half of sun night gm and told him to stop throwing it where him and jeffery had to run under it and just under throw it or throw it high and let them go get it, their speed may be down but that strategy should continue to work..also worry bout decker's health but with a strong run gm think geno will make plays with whoever out there..

    Oh yeah without a doubt, that's why I like betting with a local and I think now with these pph shops the bookies don't even look at individual bets...they just look at the plus/minus report at the end of the week.

    I don't think its taking a shot....our understanding is that if a line is posted and the bet is accepted then its final.
    Again one of the advantages of betting with a local.

    Jets D is legit, they hung with the Pack in GB and it took an awful and technically not allowable timeout for them to lose. Also Chicago WRs still banged up and on the road after a big win and the loss of Tillman. Bears are a good enough team to bet the value in the points, this game is definitely not a layup. Like the over more and more I look at it.
