Chicago @ Carolina

I really like Chicago without looking too much into it. A big reason why the Giants could beat the Bears is they could get a good pass rush without blitzing and taking away the quick throws because the defense could drop 7 back. Carolina won't be able to do that, they cannot get to the QB without blitzing, and if they do, that should open up receivers for Cutler to get quick passes out too. Chicago also has a great run defense and that is Carolina's strength, they are also missing Steve Smith.

Carolina just matches up really badly with the Bears, but this just seems too easy, plus the public will be all over this. So i'm a bit hesitant. I am thinking of getting in now at -1.5 as I fully expect the line to reach -3, and prob -3.5 or -4 and if I decide I don't like this so much I will jump on Carolina plus the points and hope for a middle.

I like Carolina in this game. I think the bears true colors are going to start coming out.

I'm avoiding this game because the Bears are at their best at home and the Panthers are in the bottom 5 teams in my opinion.

The Colts game because the Chiefs are out of the bye with strong defense stats.

The Texans game having the worst passing defense with the Giants with a good passing offense stats.

Don't be surprised if Todd Collins plays for the Bears, even with that said the Panthers are a hot mess. Best play here is probably avoid.

Fellas, I am a Panthers fan. Trust me on this one, Chicago is the play. We are a disgusting mess. Steve Smith will be out due to injury, and Dwayne Jarrett just got his 2nd DUI in 3 years and was cut yesterday. Not that Jarrett is a loss anyhow because he never did anything for us. We have no one at receiver besides Smith, which doesn't matter anyhow, since we also don't have any QB that can get the ball to a receiver right now. Clausen is overwhelmed as a rookie right now. We have a good running game with DeAngelo and Stewart of course, but everyone knows that. Opposing defenses are shutting down the running game and forcing us to beat them through the air, which we can't. The defense is okay, but after being on the field the entire game (since the offense is a 3 and out machine), they are exhausted by the end of the third quarter and can't stop anybody. We will keep it close in the first half, thanks to the defense (which we have done all season) , but then every team takes over in the 2nd half. Don't let the close game against New Orleans fool you. Several weird things happened in that game that went our way, including a Saints fumble at the goal line, a Saints turnover in the red zone, and a blown coverage that allowed Jonathan Stewart to sneak out of the backfield and get an easy touchdown.

I expect my pathetic Carolina Panthers to go 0-5, and for the Bears to win and cover!

Fellas, I just got back from the Panthers game, and my atrocious team fell to 0-5 with the Bears covering and blowing us out as expected. We are the worst team in the NFL. The Bills would definitely beat us right now without a doubt.

Anyhow, I hope that some of you were able to cash in with my words of warning and grab an easy winner on the Bears +3 today.

Haha I was at the game too, as a Bears fan. Two pathetic teams, Collins was 6/16 with 4 INT's and they still brought him back in?!?!? 32 passing yds for Collins, 61 for Clausen? I couldn't wait to get home & see some highlights from the "real" games!

Another ugly win for the Bears. Best part for me was a few hours in the sun, the weather was way better than the football!
