Rams and Giants to finish a teaser, Rams +7, Rams ML, Eagles. I still like the Eagles even though I had an important piece of information wrong, but not nearly as much as I did a minute ago and now I will hedge some.

If you want a play to tail on tease the Giants and Rams 7 points, get the Rams +10.5 and the Giants just to win and the payout would be decent enough I think and the bet itself very safe/solid.

Go Vick I feel a 21 + point win here. 

The Packers are also way better than the Bears but they lost at Soldier Field.  I think the Bears Defense has another miracle in them.

I would have to say I like the Eagles too, but I didn't pick them. Bears are better than I thought when I watched them though. They have fight.

At least you agree it would take a miracle. I think the Eagles are more clutch than the Pack but we will see if they also kill themselves in a game they should dominate. Obviously anything is possible.

Anyway was thinking of the two games in 2004 where he just torched the Rams D (34-17, 47-17) but that was actually the season after Lovie had gone on to Chicago. The 2003 playoff atrocity vs Carolina was Lovie's last game with us. Our new DC ran the Cover 2 as well which is why I got confused, but he tried different things than Lovie did.

sry for the incorrect statement.

Eagles -2.5


where on the sidelines b4 the game? SAMUEL is not playing....

I am the first to agree the Bears are overrated. I am actually a Bears' fan and all season long I have thought they are overrated but they find ways to win. Hester remains a huge weapon on special teams and their defense ranks in the top 2 in takeaways. This is a tough spot for the Eagles and the line is a bit high. I don't see the Eagles as 9.5 point favorites at home over the Bears and that is what -3.5 on the road means. The Eagels were 3 point dogs at SF and 3 point dogs at Tennessee. Yes, Vick, I know but this line is super inflated.

I am leaning towards the Bears!

Bears record of 7-3 doesn't matter. The matchup matters and they don't match up against this Eagles team very well. Bears will have turnovers and Eagles will take advantage. I see a 31-10 type of Eagles blowout here. Gl all.

Good teams find ways to win and don't necessarily have to match up statistically. The Bears win games ugly The loss of Samuels to the Eagles is HUGE. The Bears have allowed more than 20 points just once this season. No other team in football can say that. This line is too high and Vegas knows everyone has a case of Vickitis and they are playing right into it. It's not my biggest play of the day, and I have been against the Bears many times this season, but not today. Good luck regardless.

Tough game here on paper looks all philly but Bears Def is healthy and everyone is back plus they weren't on field long in Miami shutout so that's alot of rest and preperation. The history for Philly at chicago in cold weather dosen't help also. On the other side Vick should roll and Cutler is always1 pass away from disaster. The line is perfect not your typical high scoring affair Bears D will keep it close. GL

Can you explain why they don't match up very well against this Eagles team?

PrettyHotLately-

Wondering what will slow Vick down, I take it you don't know much about Soldier Field this time of year?.....it's got the shittiest surface in the NFL, and after the Prep Bowl on Friday, the field has not been covered and will be torn up and frozen.  That alone will slow the Eagles' speed attack down.  The same thing happens every single season here in Chicago once the weather finally turns for the worse.  Vick didn't fare well in his only previous performance at Soldier Field in very similar conditions late in the 2005 season, and I expect him to suffer the same problems today.  This game should be a close and ugly affair.  Just my two cents, but I see the Bears taking this outright.

high 40's temps dropping when sun goes down, not quite frozen soldier field.....moderate winds, dosent sound that bad to me......shitty field is an advantage to offense.....ball carriers KNOW where they are going...its the defenders who will have trouble with footing.....not to say there wont be any slips and falls by the offense...............cant go against the michael vick experiance

The ground is frozen from the temps over the past week here in Chicago...the daytime temp in the 40's won't thaw it out bro.  Everyone will have problems with footing at Soldier today....it's got more divots than Chicago's streets have potholes.

I am very weary about taking Philly here coming off two division wins. Bears almost always show up as underdogs.
