Early Look at Thursday's NFL

Broncos625 · Dec 9, 2008

My early lean is Chicago -3. Quite simply, the Saints are not the same team away from home, especially outdoors in the cold. Both teams have same motivation, keeping playoff hopes alive with the loser probably out. NO only road win this year has been against KC. I look for Chicago's D to get pressure on Breese and slow Bush down.

I would appreciate some input.

i was thinking the same thing... i think most people probably gonna bet saints because they have been playing good lately, but Chicago in December usually means money... just my opinion, open to anyone's...

Cold weather won't be a big factor unless too windy in Chicago, Houston beat GB last week, Miami beat Buff. in Toronto (even in the dome it still chilly for Florida team) To me, NO is a team that so unpredictable,but they can score quick, if Tha Bears score less than 17 pts they will lose this game to NO.

Just like last night,s TB , Carolina total. (38 to 40)

The Bears total 44 will be steamed up by game time providing there,s not drastic conditions game time. Grab it now at 44, these primetime games are all going over for fun.

As a Bears fan, I don't see how our secondary will hold up against Brees & co. Good passing teams have been throwing at will against us all year. We have not been able to get a consistent pass rush and our corners just are not very good in coverage. Brees does not hold the ball, he takes his drop, plants, and fires---he should have no problem picking our defense apart.

Jump on over--anything up to 49. Just have to keep an eye on how bad the weather will be. Eff the side, coinflip.

I don't have a real lean, but I wouldn't feel too great betting the Bears giving points to a better team. Unless the weather is bad, not just cold, I might lean Saints.
