BIG AL's MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAME OF THE YEAR (8-0 Streak on MNF 'Big Plays')

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Bears + the points over Minnesota, as the Bears have owned Minnesota at Soldier Field, with wins in seven of the last eight meetings. Additionally, the Bears fall into some of my very best systems tonight, including an 83-31 ATS angle that plays on certain teams off a blowout loss (Chicago lost 31-7 to Baltimore last week), and a 17-1 ATS angle that goes against certain Monday night teams off a loss (Minny lost 26-7 last week as an 8-point favorite to Carolina). Overall, the Bears have lost their last seven games to the spread, but that just provides terrific line value here as, by my calculation, Chicago is getting, at least, an extra 3 points (consider that, just four weeks ago, Minnesota was a 10-point HOME fave vs. Chicago). And, since November 9, 2003, NFL teams off five or more pointspread losses, as well as a Straight-up loss, are a terrific 31-10 ATS, including a perfect 7-0 ATS vs. .770 (or better) opponents. Finally, Monday Night road faves are a poor 38% ATS over the last 30 years off an upset loss, and the Vikings are 12-23 ATS as a favorite vs. the Bears. Monday Night Game of the Year on the Chicago Bears. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. And don't miss my big Basketball + College Football Winners on this Monday.
