Wow we have a hard time once we get close to the redzone.

Do you actually believe within football circles that the Bears are considered to be favorites over the Vikings? Really?

The 'smart' money.. lol.

That is 100% true - as Vegas odds deal strictly with what is being bet and of course not all bettors are all that smart about football.

Yes!!!

And Teddy has more time than he's had all year!!!!

So either AD has done a cycle of HGH and the Vikings OL is channeling their inner 1980s Redskins Hog OL.....or the Bears' defense is really really BAD

Nice... at least we got some points.

Time to rough up Cutler.

If Vegas odds are so silly and stupid and inaccurate, why don't you move to Vegas and become a millionaire?

No, not many within football circles would think that a 2-4 team should be considered a favorite over a 4-2 team barring key injury.

Some rich guy placing a bet on the Bears does not overcome the fact that one team is both more successful this season, and more talented.

But I get it 2-4 > 4-2 because Vegas said so, good to know.

I'm with you here, it's the Vikings game to lose for sure.

Poor red zone offense continues

Our offensive line has been pretty solid today.

Then move to Vegas and become a millionaire. Just pick any underdog with a better record than the favorite, and you'll never lose. You are a genius.

Your comments make me think you still don't get it. Vegas is not saying 2-4 > 4-2 as far as talent goes, just that it want's more money to be bet on the 4-2 team.

Comically not to throw the conspiracy into this but I read an amazing article once about how a guy studied every aspect of the game all the players and still couldn't get above 70% in betting. Once he started looking at which vegas odds would net vegas the most money and used that in his calculations he was over 90%. Take it with a grain of salt but I believe vegas at least influences the refs

Except for the false starts

Not a genius, just have common sense. Again, you think 2-4 > 4-2 because vegas said so, good to know.

Hell why do they even play the damn game? They should just call it quits when the Vegas line is in.
