Bears4Ever_34 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Can't see it but I'm pretty sure I can guess as to what those picks are.. Mark (I hate Jay Cutler) Schlerith says the Saints are going to beat us by double digits this week and I saw Bruschi just picked against us as well. Frankly, It's kind of funny and I'm sure the players like it. They play their best when they are in the underdog role. I think with Colston out, and the style the Bears play defense, Brees isn't going to have much of a choice other than to dump it down to his RB's. Sproles could be a problem for us because of his shiftiness and small stature in the short passing game. However I think our offense will kill their defense all game long with screens. Since Martz has taken over, the Bears are one of the best teams in the NFL at running screens for big gains. I also look for Urlacher to have one of the best games of his career on defense. I'd say maybe 14 tackles, a sack, and maybe another pick. If our Dline plays the way they did last week, we shouldn't have any problem winning this game.

I don't know what it is but whenever I post a link from espn it doesn't go through to everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daventry Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I don't know what it is but whenever I post a link from espn it doesn't go through to everyone else. I don't pretend to be an expert, but we are solid on O and D, with good coaching, and our talent level should outdo theirs. Atlanta was supposed to be terrible too...and they didn't look good against the Pack. We win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balta1701-A Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Winning with defense and enough offense is never as sexy as winning wtih big offense and enough defense. The TV always picks big offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 ESPN is all about the ratings. Their picks are more to create buzz and have nothing to do with facts or true analysis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madlithuanian Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Vegas has the line at Saints by 7...anyone not going against that isn't straying from the expected. But we all know sometimes actual results don't mimic expected ones... Sad thing is all the Bears beat writersat the Trib picked the Saints except Vaughn McClure.

But we all know sometimes actual results don't mimic expected ones... Mad L thats what the line opened at and has stayed there which tells me that the action on both teams has been equal. I'm hoping this doubting trend continues and keeps the Bears ticked off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 So pretty much everything I said going into this game the Bears haven't done. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
