    Why do the Bears Continue to get no Respect from Vegas??

    this team keeps being underdogs in games which they should be favorites as. This is just ridiculous


    this week, they face a terrible lions team that has lost the last 2 games by 37 points and yet the bears are only 3 point favorites??


    to give you guys an idea of how good the bears have been recently for gambling purposes...you could have taken an adjusted line for this team with 200+ payout and they would have covered every one of the last 3 spreads they have faced


    expect the bears to dominate again this week. That defense is in razor sharp form and Jay cutler/running game are also getting into rhythm

    Bears - 27
    Lions - 10

    Bears get lucky?? they won the 2 games before the eagles game by a combined 30 points


    they were leading late in that eagles game by 18 points, the eagles just got 2 garbage time TDs and a miraculous catch into quadruple coverage by Celek to make the score seem close


    da Bearz will dominate again this week

    This has nothing to do with who is a better football team. This has to do with Vegas getting killed by the Lions covering 7 out of 11 games. According to the SBR NFL odds and scores the game opened at -7, the sharps jumped on it, and pushed the number to -3. Bettors understand that the lions can/will cover if given the right number of points. I think line reflects more of the fact that the Lions have been able to cover a lot of games this year..

    Lions are a better team than last season. Bears defense vs Lions offense.

    I don't think it was ever 3 flat. It was basically 3.5. Remember the NYJ were -5.5 in Det and Pats -6. So how high was it going to be? Not even that big of a difference between 3.5 and 5.5/6. Probably should have opened 4, but I don't think you can quibble too much with the line. If it was ever -3-110, that was a gift.

    Bears beat Detroit 19-14 at home, and should have lost that game. That was week 1 with the ridiculous ruling on the Detroit catch in the endzone not being a TD in the closing seconds. They also lost at home to Seattle and Washington. Just exactly how much respect do they deserve? They're RF's. They're certainly not the first team to play three good games in a row.

    Bears outgained Detroit by 280 yards in that game too. They actually shoulda won by like 3 TD's. Every team has losses you can point too. Detroit doesn't have too many wins to point to.

    Two words...

    Jay Cutler

    If you can predict when he plays good or when he sucks, then you've got something. Until then...

    Pretty much this. Cutler is due for a bad game, why not against the lowly Lions?

    The Bears are not that impressive this year, but they are getting wins, which is all that matters. As long as Cutler plays well, they have a shot, but once the pressure gets to him, he'll fold like usual

    my book hasn't reposted the line since news of Lions QB injury. Is it confirmed the back up (what's his name, is he a rookie?) will be starting?

    sharp action was early on chi moving the line from -3 to -4.5.. (bet tracker).. just what i am leaning.. but i don't trust chi to dominate and keep the lead in the fourth.. no play for me.. call me a wooz.. lol

    this game is a good candidate for an upset with the lions winning straight up..

    good luck with your plays!
