What's that even mean

Just to remind everyone. The Bears BEAT the SEAHAWKS. The Hawks are trash. They beat an injured Saints team at home. Bears will be exposed as phonies next game vs the Packers.

Packers have the edge in everything vs the Bears except Defense where it is EVEN.

Public perception built into the line

Did everyone in this thread forget that the jets beat the steelers in pitt a few weeks ago? Having said that I am going to hedge my jets +3000 with some pitt ml just incase

Jets 2-1 against the pats and 1-0 against the Steelers

but yet Scottish refuses to admit they are any good

Steelers are definately the favorite but the Jets are right there too. either team could take it

**rfr3sh** · 01-17-11, 08:24 AM

Of course steelers will be favourites at home I hope everyone keeps writing the jets off

**broadway6** · 01-17-11, 11:43 AM

seahawks beat the bears earlier in the year and look what happened yesterday. jets beat the pats the first time they played, but everyone was thinking about the last game where the patriots spanked that ass. I don't think you can look @ previous games and pick a winner. you have to look @ the present team.

I think the bears will pull through and beat the packers. They beat them early in the season and had a close one late in the season. If they play like they can I believe they will go on and win the super bowl.

**seaborneq** · 01-17-11, 01:32 PM

Steelers are healthier than hot Packers. Steelers should be favored.

**milwaukee mike** · 01-17-11, 01:38 PM

there is no way the steelers are the best team right now
they got beat down for an entire half at home

packers have dominated 2 road games and would be at least 3 point favorites in the super bowl over either the jets or steelers

No one really likes the bears ML next Sunday huh?

**wrongturn** · 01-17-11, 01:54 PM

Since Jets won the last game at PIT, so Steelers will actually have an edge. Jets lives on motivations, but Steelers has more this time.

Packers should be the favorites to win SuperBowl at this point.

Just looking thru NFL futures and pinny has them favored to win it all at +179 over pittsburgh who is at +191. The bears are +561 and the Jets +405.

Lets be real the steelers would beat the packers in the superbowl for sure almost. The steelers wouldnt lose that type of game if healthy. I hate second guessing the books but i gotta believe the steelers at +191 is amazing value.

What makes you think the Steelers so much better than anyone else left?

Odds look about right on to me.

**colin fergueson** · 01-17-11, 04:03 PM

I like it, i'm not decided if ill play the ML or take the points right now though.

**ramones951** · 01-17-11, 04:06 PM

Leaning Jets and Packers here.... Jets didn't seem to be affected playing at Heinz Field in week 15....

By the way they still have great value at 4:1 to win it all

**agharah1** · 01-17-11, 04:09 PM

Well, the Packers were the early favs to go to the Super Bowl this year from the NFC before they sustained injuries to guys like Ryan Grant but a decent o-line can make any running back look like Walter Payton these days. Like the falcons, exactly nobody believes in the Bears and thus they all think its only a matter of time that the Pack beat the Bears even though the Bears won @ Soldier Field last time.

Consider this: in Week 17, despite having already clinched the #2 seed, the Bears played their starters @ Lambeau Field. They were trying to keep the Packers out of the playoffs because they knew if the Pack got in, no force on earth could stop them. The Bears *fear* the Packers. They are *expecting* to struggle and maybe even lose.

That is why the Packers are favored.

I highly doubt the Bears fear the Packers, if anything Aaron Rodgers should fear the Bears since hes struggled badly against them in his career.

Every team belives they are going to win at this stage of the season.

That was many weeks ago, this is a different Bears offense altogether at this point of the season.

**kickenchicken** · 01-17-11, 11:14 PM

i like pittsburg over gb...

**lakerboy** · 01-17-11, 11:35 PM

If pit meets gb in the superbowl I just can't see how you bet against the steelers and the refs su. Pit is at home versus the jets and I don't see them losing again but u never know. I'm rooting for a bears/jets bowl.

**mlb** · 01-17-11, 11:40 PM

I think Jets or Steelers beat Bears
Packers beat Jets
Steelers beat Packers
