Atlanta look to face a Bears team that demolished the Lions on the road last week. The Bears come into Atlanta, a team that has so far exceeded expectations.
This is due to their dominant offensive line, mixed with the talent of Michael Turner, and the surprising competence of Matt Ryan.
Chicago have not been beaten in the first quarter this year, except by Tampa at home, by one point.
At home I expect Atlanta to be a slight dog in the 1st quarter line, and I expect their running game mixed with some BC action passing lets them cover this line pretty easily. Chicago won't have the crowd on their side, and will find it tough to get that offense rolling immediatly against a surprisingly tight Atlanta D.
