NFL football betting Line and Odds: Bears -2 1/2, Total 37
The Bears showed what they are made of last week, by beating the Steelers as we said they must. Seattle is in big trouble with the possible loss of Matt Hasselbeck with cracked ribs. If you ever had bruised or cracked ribs you know how painful it is. Even if he plays he won’t be effective. The other option is Seneca Wallace at quarterback, not much of an option.
The early (smart) money in Vegas has driven the line up from 1 to 2.5 in a flash. People know Chicago is a better team than the Seahawks even with the loss of Brian Urlacher. Chicago wins this game as long as Jay Cutler doesn’t do anything stupid. If the Bears run the ball ,play defense, and throw the ball down field when the time is right, they win and cover the spread, if Cutler tries to be a hero, they will struggle. We see this game of the 17-13 variety, so we are taking Chicago, but we don’t feel that great about it.
