The Bears edged Seattle 27-24 as a 9-point favorite last week. The combined score went OVER the posted over/under total (37).

Rex Grossman completed 21-of-38 passes for 282 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the win. Thomas Jones rushed for 66 yards on 21 carries with a pair of touchdowns.

Oh, my.

 

[motodawg]

I like the Saints for some strange reason I feel like it's there time. I am going to wait a little while before i bet.

 

[Wulfgar]

Im ready to roll baby! go bears!!!
i hear a interview with nathan vasher on the radio today
the bears are pretty pumped up to face the saints O.
the real key to this game will be the bears front 7 stopping the running game
the bears secondary can handle the recieving core. Duece is a beast though up the gut. The front 3 of Urlacher, Boone and Tank Johnson better strap their helmets on tight

i think bush wont do too much, the bears nullify speedy outside runners and thier backers play the screen better than anyone in the NFL

its gonna be a great game!
Go bears!

 

[needtogetaas]

o shit let the games begin its on now.

 

[needtogetaas]

what about the pats bro.witch way you going to swing it.

what about the pats bro.witch way you going to swing it.

I'm leaving it at 3
that's too much of a half point to swing either way
if it goes to 3.5 late I may host a second event

[needtogetaas]

one or both of the under dogs will win.this is a fact.ether the pats or the saints have to go to the big game.

 

[Longhorn85]

Defense plus nasty weather should put an end to the feel good season of the indoor-carpet-playing Saints.

 

[Spartacus]

I'm so sick and tired of hearing "defense" wins balls games
shit just yesterday I posted steve grogan's 3 qtr stats in superbowlXX
the blow out 46-10
the pat's were blown out because chicago scored on every opportunity

 

[Spartacus]

Indy will beat new england sunday
by 10 if I had to call it
Indy is riding the juice of a team jelling,off/def
make fun of manning but brady goes into their dome against a team

 

[Spartacus]

fuck I don't want to pull for chicago

 

[gjohnson5]

Defense does win ball games. There's no doubt about that. I just think Chicago's defense is good but does have holes. New Orleans defense (with the exception of Fred Thomas) is good as well.

Offense vs Defense (the defense wins 8-9 in the Super bowl) The last time the number 1 offense vs number 1 defesne was Tampa Bay vs Oakland a few years ago and the Tampa bay defense picked off Rich Gannon for touchdowns a few times.

i am seriously being swayed by your points.

 

[blut wump]

The Colts have put together a decent blitz and run-coverage package for post-season but I think they'll be picked apart by Brady's short passing and too many open opportunities downfield. Pats def. is adequate to cause Manning problems. Pats will win.

Am I in the wrong thread?

Go Bears! I doubt that I'll bet on the Bears game.

[H_T_]

is everybody in?
I like the late bets

i'm still dawdling. i won't bet on NO out of sheer principal....i've trashed talked them too much, plus they've cost me.

 

[blut wump]

I'm still dithering, too. You might yet pass 30 million.

I'm going to miss most of the match since the season double-episode premiere of 24 is showing one hour into the game. I just flicked through all of next week's schedule and there's no repeat and I can't tape one channel and watch a different one. Bummer. Still, 24 should be finished before OT starts.

 

[H_T_]

the whole effing country is picking Saints....never won a road playoff game.

 

[blut wump]

Awww eeen

 

[H_T_]

[H_T_]

Dont these damn players realize they are messin with peeps karmas?

you've got plenty.

 

[gjohnson5]

I'm not worried. This game shows Chicago can do nothing offensively. All we need to do is hold onto the ball

 

[H_T_]

red zone Chicago. again....

 

[H_T_]

nice to hear Urlacher's name finally...

 

[redguru]

I'm not worried. This game shows Chicago can do nothing offensively. All we need to do is hold onto the ball

How many yards offense does NO have? You have to move the ball as well as hold on to it.

 

[alcatraz1662]

come on saints....need to make some adjustments at half

~Alc

 

[acneman]

[gjohnson5]

No blocking for Drew Brees. It's more that then Fred Thomas IMHO

game shows the benefit of Home field, IMO.

 

[DannoMight]

Told ya the saints couldn't handle a stout D of any kind. Baltimore put a whoopin on the earlier Carolina did too. Nasty D's are too much for the Ain'ts.

 

[Wulfgar]

Da Bears
had em since pre pre-season

 

[gjohnson5]

Well I am going to partially disagree with this.

I've said on another thread offense vs defense , the defense generally wins. As far as No vs any decent offense , I'm not going to say that but Chicago did win and win big in the 4th quarter. The intentional grounding for a safety changed everything

[Raptorex]

that whole game was a cluster-fuck and didn't show the talents of NO at any point.

 

[needtogetaas]

 

[chewyxrage]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Yeah.

 

[Whiskey]

oh yeah!! My K count was getting pretty low for awhile there
