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 getting in now at -2.5 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.
This is not an official play as of yet, I am more or less locking down a good line which I know will shift against me as the week goes on. If I decide against this play I will simply take this other side.
Week #5
Chicago Bears -2.5... 4.4U to win 4U
