Bad mojo surrounds this game possibly why most of the thread feels a horrible team like the lions may cover. Chicago at Detroit (10/05/2008)

Lions are still a shit bum team with or without Matt Millen. Their defense is horrible, and the Bears have shown the ability to at least move the ball on offense. No Tommie Harris in the middle would normally hurt, except for the fact that the Lions will not take advantage of that.
Prediction: Bears 27 Lions 17
Bears -3.5
You uh, failed to mention what the Lions ats record against Chicago at home is, lil buddy... Tell the whole truth, not just a piece of it.
Good Luck

PLEASE READ THIS
You have to understand, when you bet on the Lions you are betting on the worst team in the NFL...actually, I take that back...You are betting on the worse team in Proffesional sports. There is no team that is worse then this one...STL, MIA, KC, ATL, OAK all teams better the Detroit. Dont look at the 0-3 record and think "Oh, these guys are do...These guys should be able to pull this off"...LOL, No...These guys are absolutely terrible.
Look, when a team has NO offensive and NO deffensive Line and basically invested there last 5 years 1st round picks on WR's (-Roy/CJ) and a QB (Harrington) who arent with the team anymore, you can not invest in something like this...
Trust me on this one. This line will be at 5 before game time just like the San Fran game.

Ill take CHI. Orton has found this position called the tight end and he finally has a little confidence. I like their vanilla offense to exploit a DET O that cant get it together. Vanilla...running game leading to play action etc will get the fundamentally retarded DET D in trouble.
CHI -3.5
CHI -3.5

man! i have to give HUGE props for this post... here is someone who knows football... put me and PocketJacks in charge of the Lions and i guarantee this team is no worse than .500... way too much talent for this team to be the joke they have been so far...
Kevin Smith is an absolute monster of a running back... seriously... there are maybe 5 guys in football who have his instincts and hit the hole the way he did... when i saw that they had benched him it was just one more thing that made me wonder how the hell Millen ever kept his job as long as he did, or how Marinelli has a job at all...
look out for this guy in the future... if the Lions don't recognize greatness when they see it, someone else out there will...
honestly, every time i watch this guy (including at UCF last year), it reminds me of Walter Payton...
truly a stud!
the entire Lions front office and coaching staff is a joke!

Bears vs. Lions +3.5 (3 units) - the Lions are due here, they played well in the preseason and are coming off of their bye week. Chicago had a great upset win last Sunday night so I'll be selling high on them. Getting the hook here was a key factor because the Lions typically play better home ball. Rudi Johnson will get the start here, his first of the season. After firing Matt Millen the new management will want to start off with a win. The public has been all over the Bears and Sports Insights has them at about 74%. This should be a low scoring divisional rivalry, Lions 20 Bears 17.

Oh yeah, baby. I like this kind of party, oh yeah, we can go at this all day long. Here's what I came up with. 4-2 ats in the last 6 home games against the Bears, and a perfect 3-0 in the last three overall when playing the Bears regardless of the venue. Now you're good, but again, you are not telling it all. And no Barry Sanders was not there for any of these covers.
Once again, I'm going to say it: The Lions have the Bears number. That's all there is to it.
You may now retort.

Are we ready to roll? Lights in place? How do I look?
Okay 5-4-3-2-1 and Action!
We're here today with Watch trying to get his feelings on the upcoming game today. So Watch what do you think will happen here today?
Ah man, you know take the home dog. They play on turf and in a dome, and the visitor plays outside on natural grass. If you use that theory alone, you will win at least 65% of your bets in the NFL, word is bond... Are you still thinking of engaging in the great debate with CM Johnson? According to recent poll numbers you are winning the popular vote hands down and have enough projected electoral votes to win by a landslide. At this time do you think it would be wise to debate with your opponent? First off i would like to point out that I have an extreme amount of respect for my opponent regardless of his position in the polls. With me, it's not about a lot of debating. I've already won the war of words. but that's not what I'm here challenging for the highest seat in the land. It's about wins and losses. I will stay the course of my proposed budget plan and lead the great people of the United States out of this time of bad economic problems. Next question. You over there in the brown shirt... But Watch, there are indicators that you got creamed yesterday in college football. Would you like to tell us what do you think happened when you took Nebraska yesterday. How did you feel when your team was down 52-10? And if I may, why did you take Mizzouri in the 2nd half of that game?
Okay, that's it. No more questions, get out of here! Mr. Watch, Mr. Watch! Didn't you also take Tennessee along with all of the public? How did your stomach feel while that was happening to your wager?
Mr Watch! All that I was doing was trying to get your answer. I'll see you in court buddy. You shouldn't have put your hands on me.
Somebody call me an ambulance please

I may now retort. Oh goody.

The Lions have won the last TWO home games ATS vs. the Bears. I said they went 3-2 ATS in the last 5 games, which they did...just because I didn't go back to 2002 to add it up to 4-2 doesn't mean I am wrong. I still don't think that adds up to the Lions having the Bears number.
The Chiefs have the Broncos number at Arrowhead
The Colts have the Texans number SU.
4-2 ATS and 2-0 ATS in the last two years doesn't yet qualify.
