Week 6: Bears (2-3) @ Falcons (2-3) 3:25 PM FOX/780

[UMFan83]

The saga continues. No one else is starting these so I'm starting it even though the last 2 have been losses.

 

The Falcons looked great at times and they've looked terrible at times. They are a much much better home team (2-0) than a road team (0-3). The last time they played at home, they won 56-14.

 

Can't wait to see what Devin Hester does against us as the Bears homecoming tour continues (Corey Graham, Olsen, Hester, Lovie)

 

The line is Atlanta -3.

Week 5 was Olsen's revenge. Week 6 is Hester's?

[UMFan83]

Week 5 was Olsen's revenge. Week 6 is Hester's?

 

I just edited to reflect that. Week 1 was Corey Graham's revenge (INT of Cutler). Tice as well this week.

The line is Atlanta -3.

 

That surprised me.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Why does the line always show as a (-)? I read that Atlanta -3 as the Bears are favored by 3.

This and the Dolphins games are winnable and important. Would have been nice to be 3-2 and have this game be an "optional" win, but right now it's pretty important for multiple reasons, including possible tiebreaker for a wild card berth.

Huh?

 

Atlanta -3 means the Falcons are favored by 3.

Think of it as the score Atlanta has to overcome in order to "win" the bet. They have -3 points going in and need to score 4 more than the Bears to win. On the flipside, the Bears start with +3 points on the board and therefore just have to get outscored by 2 or less.

The Bears bomb atomically.

I hope Conte can play, it was amazing to see how important he is once he left the game and Carolina killed them up the middle.

Ahhh that makes sense

2nd concussion this year....I think his 4th in total. As I saw tweeted, it might be time for him to make some life choices.

You're definitely right about that, I didn't know he's had 4 in a short career.

I'm not 100% sure it's accurate, since they don't like to make injury information all that details or accessible. For football reasons, I'd like to see him back. But I also want the guy take care of himself.

[Soul]

You are all being too negative.

 

Bears take this one, 27-21
