why the big line move in the bears game?

[blueedwards]

went from 3.5 to 2.5???

Although it did not happen on their first two releases, Northcoasts pre-season plays usually move the lines. Today they have Indy, Baltimore and Cleveland. Just something to watch.

Best of luck.

Don't sweat it, Blue. The Bears still get the WIN & Cover. After Manning comes out of the game, the Colts have nothing at QB.

I think it has to do with the local papers reporting that the offense will be "very vanilla tonight"(according to Kordell)...only thing I could find...

Brock Huard is a solid backup in this spot. I am a colt fan though

But he is injured with a broken finger.

James MacPherson (WF) & Jim Kubiak (Navy)

 

[ppeter]

Kubiak was a very good arena qb, McPerson was a very good college qb

Mosi are you shilling for Northcoast?

 

[blueedwards]

bears turn the ball over twice in the 4th qtr and the colts score then go for 2 and get it. unbelievable.

Thank you Paul Edinger!!!!!!!

If you're gonna play the fav in Pre-season, it's always wise to play the $$$$$$ line. Chalk up a very lucky win tonight for Bears $$$$$ line players. 3 missed FG by Colts.

 

[blueedwards]

whormoan! you said they would get the cover then play the ml?

 

[whormoan]

You're correct, Blue. I did say the Bears would cover, and I truly thought they would. However, I was very sure that they would try to win this game, and the $$$$ line is a MUST for me if I play a fav in the preseason because of the ridiculous 2 pt-conversions that teams otherwise wouldn't try that screw up the pt spread. Had the COlts just kicked the PAT after they scored, the Bears would've either given you a push or win depending on whether you bet early or late. In regular season games I do not employ this strategy. However, I would be sick I had lost tonight on the exact BS that occured in the Chicago & Baltimore games.

 

[blueedwards]

i am sick right now

 

[whormoan]

Don't blame you. I highly recommend playing $$$ lines if you use favs in the pre-season. It's worth laying the extra juice to not have to worry like we did tonight about ridiculous 2-pt conversions which never seem to go the way one needs them to.
