Week 8: Bears vs San Francisco - Sunday, Oct. 29th, 12 pm CT

Bears are currently favored by 16.

 

that's a lot of points for looking pretty bad on Monday night.

 

Classic bounce back game expectations.

 

Yep. An extra week to reflect on a "bad win" to a team that got spanked by the winless Raiders this week, against another bad team this week. I think they'll cover.

I'd like to think the bye week will help the Bears but they are 0-2 in Smith's career after a bye, including an embarassing loss at Cleveland last year.

Not the biggest sample size ever.

 

I think it'll be more the bounce back game than that the game is after a bye.

Yeah, the first year the team was terrible, so a loss after the bye didn't really mean much. And last year's team was quite shaky, and 1-2 going into the bye, so I'm not sure the bye was going to help anything.

Sorry guys, no game this week:

Well I was looking forward to the game, but this way would be a little less likely to cause me a heart attack. Did that letter come with an enclosed picture of the Bears wearing crowns on their asses?

[Jon]

Heard on WBBM today that Ogunleye was back in practice.

People on the Bears message board are saying that the Bears will be wearing their Orange Unis this Sunday.

Yea. It's not news. Been known since training camp, if I remember right.

SWEET

[Balsa]

Okay. I've picked up a trend. Whenever I predict a blowout, it's a heart-attack, shoestring, last minute win. Whenever I predict a close game, it's a blowout.

 

In that spirit.

 

Bears 24

49ers 17

*BUMP*

I'll be in Vegas... Hopefully, I can find a good sportsbook to go watch it at.

LOL. I don't think you'll have too much trouble. Have fun :)

I'd take the 49ers and 16 points, thank you very much. I don't believe in spreads > 14 points. When you look at the history, the dogs usually take those.

 

I think we would all do well to forget about margins of victory, and just celebrate wins however they come. This isn't college football. Any win in the pros is a good win, period.

That said, the Bears would have covered a 16 point spread 4 out of 6 weeks so far.

[Banedon]

First the Arizona Cardinals turned into the Cubs last Monday, and now Dennis Green is turning into Dusty Baker.

 

"I was raised in a humbling experience," Green said. "My background says that I never rode the easy horse. I've always rode the bucking horse."

 

That sounds like SUCH a Baker quote.

As a Bears fan I don't care about the margin of victory. As a gambling fan, I do.

What a shame.

 

I might have to take the 49ers and the points.

When I was in Vegas a few weeks ago, I couldn't find an open seat in 4 different casinos, and ESPNZone was rented out. Ended up watching the ND game at a dance club in the MGM. Kinda sucked, so make sure you get there very, very early.

 

I also just got tickets to this weeks game!! 5th row 45 yard line. Will be my best seats ever for a Bears game, and my first one this year, so I am super excited.
