    Falcons -4 vs. Bears thoughts?

    it opened -3 and has since been bet up, still a couple -3.5's out there

    what were your initial thoughts when seeing this line?

    Probably fading the dirty birds until they prove otherwise


    I fully expect Falcons defense to make Trubisky look like a surefire 1st ballot HOFer

    Hold on, let me cap the Atlanta special teams real quick.

    Need to determine an expectation for them in late game situations.

    Sneaky question Roy. Hammer the Falcons and PM me on Monday or Tuesday if they play Monday.

    Desperation mode for Atlanta. Same thing with Minnesota at home vs Tenn. NFL man. I don't know? I'm on a little bit of a heater, but I still need miracles half the time. Seattle covered by 1 yard. Too many games come down to 1 call or 1 turnover or 1 kick. GL, but I will always say cfb is 10x easier

    The Bears defense gave up a decent amount of points to Detroit, Atlanta’s offense is better, try isn’t still sucks.

    The Bears offense is where I would start. Mitch looks better, but the Giants are bad and Detroit gave up a 75 yd run up the middle and a million yards to Aaron Jones so scoring late on them doesn't impress me much. Didnt they only score 17 on the Gmen? I'd go with Atlanta, but I don't love it

    The Falcons.

    What a disaster!

    That team hasn't been the same since they blew that lead in the SuperBowl and never will.


    Its like a UFC fighter or a Boxer winning the entire fight and getting Knocked out in the last Minute. And before someone says what about Fury. I said knocked out not knocked down to force a draw.


    They are never the same.

    Atlanta will be mad and Chicago is pretty bad with Trubisky.

    Get a mortgage title loan from one of those payday places and bet half your mortgage on this. If you don't do that, then you should quit gambling.

    It's an attractive winless team versus an ugly undefeated one. The Falcons may have a hangover from that choke job in Dallas, I'm not necessarily buying into the "save their season" angle in this one. Dan Quinn is a lame duck at this point, I don't see Atlanta flipping any switch and becoming good all of a sudden. I don't think the Bears are anything special either but they can at least bring some defense to the party. I'll take the Bears and pocket the insurance points. Falcons are a mess until they stop being a mess.

    no confidence in the bears. they struggled second half with the giants. scored nothing in the 2nd half and held on to win by 4 at home. falcons offense much better.

    Julio is limited. Probably should not have played against cowboys. Falcons offense will struggle against Bears

    Bears always a tough out regardless of the team they play

    Falcons burred me already this year

    If you subscribe to the theory that the books want their money back, you got to take the Bears. Nobody likes taking the Bears...

    this line tells me that they're taking a stand with the Falcons and are seeking Bears money. i just know i'd feel like a complete ass if i laid these kinds of pts with the Falcons and they lost outright

    Falcons actually looked better against the Seahawks, whereas the Cowboys outgained them by nearly 200 yds last week

    will probably lay off this one.. as below average the Bears look, i just don't know where the Falcons' headspace is right now and if they can be trusted

    Everyone is on Bears and Falcons are the square play. The books are going to make a ton of money on this game as squares will be buried.

    Lean Bears
    looks like we're going to get more points for the Bears by the end of the week
    Why not wait
    I don't see Atlanta winning by more than three points

    So, the squares are the minority?

    I just checked by sights and they're still at 3
    So I mistaken to stay that I thought these lines were going to keep moving and the bears were to get more points

    Still lean Bears +3
    But they're are a bunch of other games that look good
