Topic: Football fans...need input

Since sports betting is legal here in Vegas, every once in a while I bet the Bears. I'm 2/2 this season. I bet against them during the MNF game w/the Lions and for them the week later. I'm trying to parlay my winnings for the rest of the season to see how big I can get the pot. If I win out the season (meaning I correctly bet for or against them every week) I'm going to treat myself to a ngd.

I have three viable options today:
Eagles -7.5
Bears +7.5
Bears' money line +250.
I do not like the Eagles' money line. Too conservative. smile

I would like to think the bears D can keep Vick contained but I am unsure. If the correct version of Cutler shows up (I hate him) I think they can do it, in which case Bears +250 looks awesome.

Thoughts?

Neither offense scores a whole lot of points, but neither defense gives up a whole lot of points, either.  I always get nervous about low scoring games (my prediction) where the spread is bigger than a touchdown.    With that spread, I'll take the Bears.

Eagles by a TD.  Book it. Done.  tongue

Someday we'll win this thing...

If that spread gets any bigger, it will make me think the bookies know something we don't.

The Eagles looked so sharp against Dallas they are due to let down in this next non-division game. I'm inclined to bet on the Bears.

Re: Football fans...need input

The question is whether the Eagles will cover the spread.  And at 8 points, I'm guessing no.

Re: Football fans...need input

So I bet Bears +8 for $100 and the money line for $50. Let's hope my boys squeak it out!
