Anybody know what's going on with CHI/DET line?

[mebaran]

I bet on the Bears -3 against the Lions when the lines came out, and all of a sudden, all books were taking no action on the game for a few days, only to come back and post a -5 line.

Does this make sense to anyone? Did the books just get a flood of bets on the Bears? Or is there an injury I'm not privy too?

Detroit is starting 3rd string QB Drew Stanton. I like your bet.

Drew stanton starting instead of hill

[mebaran]

I'm just surprised that the line had to be taken off just because of this. Yeah, the QB is an important position with regards to the spread...but stanton and hill are almost the same guy. It's not as big of a difference in my opinion.

Plus, the Bears need to win this one with some really tough games coming up against Pats and Jets.

Um, Hill and Stanton are FAR from the same guy. Why on earth would you think they're the same guy?

[WhiteTigerWoods]

exactly, hill is a very good vet who has filled in pretty well for Stafford. Stanton is soooo overrated and Millan only took him bc he was Michigan St boy

take chicago and that's it

Jahvid Best not 100%...only in for one snap last week...although he has contributed relatively little lately. Lions are pretty banged up....a number of key guys out or playing through injuries.

As a big Lions fan, take Chi.
