I think this might be the first Props card I've played all season long, so let's make it count...
1ST HALF UNDER 22.5 POINTS @ 1.90
*I don't know where they came up with this number considering both Pinnacle and 5dimes have it at 21.5 and, more importantly, juiced to the under (-123 @ Pinnacle and -115 @ 5dimes). The 1 point difference obviously isn't all that significant (22 isn't really all that key a number) but the fact that it's @ 1.90 instead of the 1.60 where it should be is. Either way, I don't think the 1st Half, let alone the entire game, even comes close to hitting the number.
2ND HALF UNDER 21.5 POINTS @ 1.80
*First of all, it's going to be cold, real cold, so there should be a fair number of running plays to help keep the clock moving. Second, all four games between GB and CHI with Aaron Rodgers and Jay Cutler as the starting QB's have gone under the game total (36, 35, 37, 13) and only 1 half out of the 8 has produced more than 20 points (and even then it was thanks to a last minute GB touchdown).
The biggest factor here, however, is the fact that these two teams just know how to scheme one another. Week 17, the Bears came in having scored 40 and 38 in their last 2 games - the Packers held them to 3. The Packers came in having scored 27 and 45 - the Bears held them to 10. Week 3, the Bears came in having scored 19 and 27 - Green Bay held them to 20. The Packers came in having scored 27 and 34 - the Bears held them to 17.
Bottom line: it's playoff football. It's not as though it can't be a high scoring game, but everything points to this being a relatively low scoring game. And that, after all, is what gambling is all about - putting yourself in the best position to win.
FUMBLES LOST UNDER 1.5 @ 1.50
*Both teams take relatively good care of the ball (10 fumbles lost by Chicago, 9 for Green Bay) and, considering what's at stake, I would think everyone takes a little extra care to protect the ball.
5.13 X $100 = $513
Good Luck Everyone!
