Too good to be true in the NFL is usually autobet the other side for me.

Maybe Ryan will choke like he did in the Super Bowl.

Matty Ice?

What a crock of sh#$

Word on the street is Bears aren't good and getting worse

Line has come down if it's 7. Was 7.5 for while. Bears are going to be bad this year. I am die hard bears fan so try to never bet on/against them but I wouldn't be on them in week 1. Glennon isn't good. Top receiver already out. Defense looked serviceable in pre season but when bears go 3 and out every possession defense won't be able to sustain. Just my opinion.

Easiest play on the board is Saints +3.5

Looks too easy

So you are saying that's a bad bet? I just don't see how the falcons are only a touchdown better than the bears. Seriously considering giving this one a play (even though I generally stay away from spreads).

Yes it is a bad bet. The Falcons got publicly pantsed in the Super Bowl which is going to be tough to bounce back from, they have a new OC, Chicago is going to have a very good defense this year, Atlanta defense built on speed and the Bears will pound the ball down their throats and control the clock.

-7 on the road in teams season home opener no bueno...I like Seattle +3 better

Bears will be tough to play. They won't win to many games but they will be a tough opponent

WWCD · 09-02-17, 10:21 AM

Bears have Jordan Howard and that's about it. As much as I like Howard, that's not going to be enough.

I don't like giving up 7 on any team on opening week, but I took ATL on a teaser.

It's Falcons -7 on Bears' home turf. If you're keeping track, Chip Kelly's 1-15 49ers played their best football during the first few games back when they were still motivated. I expect the Bears to play motivated in this opener.

I'd take Falcons spread, but very hesitantly and only if forced to pick. If it's a 2-score game then the Bears can screw you over with a garbage-time touchdown.

I like the Falcons in this one, not because of their offense, but because of their defense. 3rd year in Quinn's system, plus they augmented their defensive line. I think they'll force some Glennon turnovers and safely cover the number

I love falcons d but bears not a great matchup for them as the way to attack them w a power rushing game and that exactly what bears will feature.. I get everyone down on bears but this the kind of team fox likes to coach and has always been a tough dog as he shortens games and gives his team a chances late., long as glennon
Doesn't make too many dumb mistakes and get bears behind they will be in this in the 4th, I wouldn't count on many mistakes cause quite frankly he won't be given many chances to do much other than hand it to Howard.

I think the under a far better play than a side but no way would I be thrilled about laying 7 here.
