My only concern (or one of them) is that the bears may be looking forward to the next week as they host Houston.
I'm guessing that "the look ahead" will be brought up in most discussions, but my rebuttal to that is why would they? At first glance, the line automatically alerts bettors that this may be a spot where the Bears would fall flat on their face, but I think they already did that. Bears offense played as poorly as they could and still managed to pull out a one-point victory thanks in large to another defensive touchdown late in the fourth quarter that gave them a lead. In that game, Cutler was sacked 6 times, the offense managed a total of 210 yards (79 rushing, 131 passing), and turned the ball over 3 times; only 1 offensive touchdown was scored.
As a result, the fans and media of Chicago has expressed some concern about the team's recent offensive shortcomings, and I think now Tice and Cutler are feeling the pressure. This Bears team knows that the defense has carried the offense, but Cutler has a chance to redeem himself this weekend against one of the worst defenses in the league. While the Bears field arguably the best defense in the league allowing only 94 points through 8 weeks, the Titans defense is last in the league allowing a league high 239 points. In addition to having the worst defense in the league, they just lost a tough overtime game to a divisional rival (Colts) and rookie qb (Luck).
After losing a game where they had 13-6 lead in the final quarter, the Titan's locker room is in disarray. Jared Cook was demanding a trade, Kenny Britt was calling out the offensive play-calling, and it seems that Coach Munchak may have lost his team. In short, this team is headed in the wrong direction. Titans are only 3-8-1 ats in the last 12 games, while the Bears are 10-4-1 ats on the road against teams with a losing home record.
Now, if someone tells me that this game could be overlooked by the Bears I would automatically think they would be incorrect. However, if I was told that this Titans team is pissed off and desperate, and I should be careful with the Bears, only then I would listen, and I hope that there would be some solid reasoning to take the Titans.
