Vikings Vs Bears

for the chicago guys.. i thought about taking my three year old son to go see the ol' bears. i was like we suck. i¡¯ll take my kid and we will have a good time. he will probably fall asleep and we can leave before the 4th. last time i went, i got tickets behind the field goal posts for 90 from a season ticket holder. we were just as bad. then i saw the prices and was like wow¡­ i don¡¯t think i¡¯m a bears fan anymore. $225 for nosebleeds!

I don't think that matters.  This year 2 other teams have played 3 BTBTB road games.  Browns last road game went to Philly as 9.5 dogs and covered wire to wire losing 16-20.  0-0 after 1st quarter.  And Bills went to Jets as 1 point favs winning 23-20.  Lost 1st quarter 7-10.

I think you are on the right side.  Hard to argue with your reasoning.  

My only concern is your best angle, the Bears OC has only called one game in his career(last week).  Yeah and they gained almost 400 yards.  You have to think he will be a little better this week.  Less nerves i would guess.  Maybe he is the man.

Quick injury update:

DeAndre Swift was a full participant in Friday's practice. Going into today with the questionable tag. If he plays, it'll be with a sore groin.

An injury that will go unnoticed by most is SS Elijah Hicks for the Bears. He's Jaquon Brisker's backup and has filled in admirably, with a 67.6 pff grade. He's out.

It looks like Simone Bile's husband Jonathan Owen's will make his first start of the season. 

What's the difference between 1qtr mL and 1qtr -.5

Do you lose both if it ends in a tie?

Why the mL and the -.5 juice so different.  Can you give a scenario where you could won one but not the other?

@OlDirtyBaztid

I admire your fandom.

I just can't do it. The Bears were +6 dogs at home to GB, played a game that they should of won.

And now only a +3.5/+3 dog to the Vikings, and at home again...

I mean how are they catching less points vs a better team? (The Vikings 4th by dvoa, GB 8th by dvoa). Just cause they played a good game last week?

Multiple scenarios. 

I can win both, jackpot.

I can push the ML(tie score), lose the -.5

Or I can lose both, in the poor house.

The 1H bet is it's own, but a strong 1Q obviously helps that bet.

 Could be

@undermysac

  1qtr -.5 vikings

I understand it as vikings must be up by 1 or more points when the 1st qtr ends.

Is that correct?

Yes.

BTW, I placed all these bets on Wednesday. Don't know the current lines.

@undermysac

 I think it¡¯s because :

1) The Cubs covered and should have won last week. 

2) 3rd road game in a row for Vikes

3) 3rd home game in a row for the Cubs. These are not really Bears. 

I agree the Cubs won¡¯t come out and dominate early.  They have proven they don¡¯t have the moxie. 

Great work. 

Bol Sac..thanks for the writeup.
