Interesting Tidbit On Bears Win Total from Bovada

"#Bears over 8.5 has taken over 95% of the money but we are comfortable holding the number (win total) at 8.5" - Kevin Bradley @BovadaLV

prob unreal juice on over

[Dollars2Donuts]

With Detroit looking to be better, Green Bay back at full strength and a reasonably tough schedule.....the Bears winning 9 is not assured.

[thechaoz]

hmmm so they are counting the money on the under. Bears do have a tough schedule

-$146 @ Bookmaker

hmmm so they are counting the money on the under. Bears do have a tough schedule

and a very necessary qb that is somewhat injury prone (cuz of hits taken)

and still no safety

[MoneyIsWater]

No doubt about it.

Bears EASILY win 9 games this year.

[GunShard]

I'm considering fading the public by taking the Under.

Bovada has -165. A good bet, but damn the hold.

[Dollars2Donuts]

I NEVER bet futures more than 10 days out (or a 7 game series). But if I was going to, I would bet the under here at nice plus money.

[jtoler]

He's lying.

[Mousey]

-150 at 5dimes. under +130

[Footballtime]

Only way the bears win 9 games is if they play Dallas every week............ Team is 8-8 at best but more then likely 7-9...........

[MoneyLineDawg]

Tough schedule with a shit defense, below average O-line with a fragile QB usually does not equal success

I like their coach though and of course the playmakers (Forte, Marshall, Alshon)

Losing Josh McCown may be the difference if/WHEN Cutler goes out

[yisman]

I don't have a lot of faith in the Bears, to lay the juice

[LordVodka]

I'll take the under on this one easily. They won't even make it to the playoffs.

[seaborneq]

Bears defense is now the question mark. The line is set just right. The bears are the cowboys Midwest

10 wins for da Bears this year, they filled some defensive holes and 2nd year under Trestman.

Who did they add to their defense? They lost Peppers and their pass D was pathetic last season

Typical pretty offensive weapons but not good in the trenches or defense....See the Cowboys and Lions (Although I like Det this season)

Jared Allen and Lamar Houston were the big signings. Didn't lose Peppers, they dumped him. Added Willie Young. Also Ratliff is good and healthier. Paea was hurt. McClellin moved to LB. 1st round pick CB Fuller wil play a big role as could 4rd round satefy Brock Vereen. Bears D is still an unknown for sure, but it will look very different and can't be worse.

O-Line is not bad. You're thinking past last season when they changed 4 of 5 spots. They bring back same group for 2nd year under Trestman. Kyle Long and Jordan Mills should get even better.

[Otters27]

They held the line at 8.5. At this point they don't want to move it up and get middled. Better off taking chances.

Perfectly said.
Bears under looks super juicy with that schedule.
Cutler has been fragile last couple years.
Forte another year older he's got to be nearing a big decline.

[I/O]

Can you say "Chris Conte'?

[easyliving]

pretty much a tossup bovada right not to move up the line to 9. I personally would hammer it if they moved it up to 9 with a nice #

[Grits n' Gravy]

Jay CutlerGuy is built to lose.

[d2bets]

... may never see the field again.

[d2bets]

Jay CutlerGuy is built to lose.

Well if he's "built to lose" it may not apply to regular season starts as a Bear. He's 39-28 as a starter for the Bears, so if we're just talking about the reg season 8.5 win total, I'm not sure what you're point is. And the team around him this season seems to be the best he's had.

The Bears are light years ahead of the Cowboys. Two teams going in opposite directions.

[BigSpoon]

Tough call, if I had to choose I'd probably go with the under 8.5 at the plus money.

Right now....

He's your starting safety.

What is Cutlers post season record?

[smitch124]

What is Cutlers post season record?

How is that a factor in a regular season win total bet?

[I/O]

It doesn't.

Just asking homer a question he would know the answer to.

I am saying, wagering money on Cutler to win is not the wisest thing one could do with their money. He finds ways to give games away.

[ChiLLx]

Bears will be .500 all season till the last 4 games then they'll probably win out and make the playoffs just based on how their schedule gets easy.
