Gonna win this. pays 41/1. ties win.

Indy at home by 15 over Tennessee.
No reason this won't happen. Bengals did it. Luck & Co can do it.

Steelers at home by 15 over Tampa Bay.
don't even have to discuss this yellow towel party.

Bears at home by 5 over Green Bay.
Chicago brings the momentum home and wins. 5 points is nothing.

Cowboys at home by 3 over Saints.
Dallas another team with momentum. Coming home heroes just like
Pitt, Chicago, Indy.. all picks returning from road wins.. Dallas
only has to win by a FG. Saints are in decay on both sides of the ball.

will post the ""cheers" mug after it hits.

I worry about the bears pick. Short week against a packers team that should be pretty desperate, marshall was pretty hobbly second half and bears were let off hook by a jets offense that failed in the red zone all night. Gb secondary better than the jets also.

... umm, excusemoi but didn't the Bears defense have anything to do with this ???

[rattlemonkey]

No, mostly it was a geno Smith implosion as expected

[SharpAngles]

You really comparing Indy D to Cincy? Or Green Bay O to Jets? Look up Aaron Rodgers stats at Soldier Field and see if 5 points is nothing. With the secondary issues Chicago showed last night it should be a GB curb stomp.

Geno made some bad plays for sure but his recievers did not help him at all. A lot of drops and blown routes that Geno had nothing to do with.

Pit beats Tampa by 15? Don't think so. Tampa can easily hold tough in this game, especially if they get their best player, Mccoy back on D, and one of their top 5 players, Doug Martin back.

Pit has a top 3 worst defense in the NFL. It's possible it might be the worst after JAX. If you think about it, Bucs have one of the best defense (just on paper) in the entire NFL. Mccoy (a top 10 def player in nfl, Levante David - top 15 def player in nfl, verner - a top 6 corner in nfl, desean ghoston - a top 10 free safety in nfl, mark barron - going to be a great player in this league in a couple years). The Bucs def is stacked bro. Just need to learn how to play together under Lovie Smith. Pit's O line should get worked in this game.

It's good payout so go for it. I do think Tampa can keep it close if Glennon plays, don't forget they've had extra prep time. I'd be surprised if Tampta got blown out two weeks in a row.

This feels like a good spot for GB.

Aaron Rodgers doesn't have it going like years past. One reason is limited targets, he's got Jordy&Cobb and then who? Another thing, it took a bunch of 4th down miracles to eek out a win last year @CHI. Rodgers and GB got outscored by the DET defense last week. GB isn't curb stomping anyone right now.

The real who? is Chicagos secondary. Boykin can play and GB has 2 decent TEs that can make plays behind the Bears front 7. They gave plenty of miracle windows that Geno couldn't hit but Rodgers will. Can't deny the guy has a hardon for beating the bears at home. Don't forget a short week after 2 pretty tough games for Chicago.

Boykin? Please, he's a practice squad guy. Name the 2 decent TEs. Quarless is a decent #2 TE, but they have no #1 TE the rookie is a bust so far. Rodgers has been missing all kinds of throws, maybe it's the pressure he's getting behind that swiss-cheese o-line.

that "top 10" defense you talking about been lit up by a second string qb, a 3rd, and matty ice (obviously more forgivable) agree they aint losing by 15, doubt they even cover the 7.5,, same goes fro titans who generally play indy tought..

I'm seeing a lot of persistent "brand love" in these posts.
the Packers are 1-2. Lost to Lions 7-19. Lost to Sea 16-36,
beat the Jets because of a poorly timed timeout call.
Meanwhile the Bears are at Soldier and 2-1. Where is the
demonstrable weaknesses on Bears ? nagging but not "out" injuries ?
because it's easier to pick apart the Packers performances on the field
than the Bears.
Indy and Tennessee / Bucs and Steelers... no competition.
Tennessee and Tampa Bay were touted at the beginning of the season
as squads that would be greatly improved and started with much hype
and hope... on programs like ESPN.. lol.. they were both going to be .500
or better teams... sorry but they are garbage and both will be blown out.
Dallas is also the play because they have lifted themselves into better play
after a poor start.. they are confident and capable of comebacks. Well coached.
New Orleans plainly another example of "brand love" this year.
try to keep the fanboy plays on home teams not visitors.
keep in mind this is a +4100 bet. you only need to put 2.4 cents
on it to win a dollar.

Bears defense not as stout as you make it out to be. They faced a pretty one dimensional offense in the jets. And lost to buffalo while beating what looks like to be a 49ers team in some disarray. At the very best this is a toss up with an edge to gb cause of a short week for a team that is already hampered with injuries.

[slacker00]

Clay Matthews is questionable with a groin. Surprise, surprise. Even if he plays, he'll be limited or hobbled.
