My bet this week - 2 game teaser 6.5 points -120 : Carolina at Bears: U50 ... S.D. at Browns: U51

Carolina at Bears - we have the Bears D Vs. a more ineffective Newton this year. The Bears running game looks very good and they should be able to eat clock Vs. The Panthers - Forte looks near full strength and they have Bush; think they didn't run enough against Lions. Carolina has a decent running game that they should try to employ to minimize intercepts Vs. the Bears defense. Neither team ranked highly offensively. Hester is a danger on returns but he hasn't done a lot lately.

S.D. at Cleveland - Norv Turner has said that he will 'simplify' the offense - I don't trust Norv at all but what that should mean is more running, fewer deep drop throws from Rivers, more short passing ball control offense, eating clock. Should S.D. decide to run the ball, they have good RB's. S.D. should be focusing on not taking risks on offense since they need to right Rivers and they know that Cleveland does not have a high octane offense. Cleveland should be willing to just slug it out on offense and try and let S.D. make the mistakes - Cleveland with lower ranked rookie QB. Both teams rank in lower offensive strata. S.D. D has been good in stopping the run and Vs. non-elite QB's. S.D.'s KR Goodman could be a danger.
