Bears Week 2: vs Vikings 1pm on CBS

[jersey cubs fan]

Well game one went about as expected even if results were more exaggerated than predicted. The offense is a potent mix and the defense is an impotent sieve 

 

the Bears are a 5.5 point home favorite in a divisional matchup, which might be the biggest spread as divisional favorite in many years (or maybe not).

 

either way, take the over

The Bears scored 59 points in week 1 and weren't even the most efficient offense of the week (the Giants, who somehow ground the game to a crawl that featured only 6 possessions per team)

It’ll be interesting to see what the Carson Wentz Vikings can do against this defense. It’ll be a very Movable Object vs Stoppable Force

i expect the Bears offense to put up 35+ of course

I think the Bears will do relatively well against Jefferson, but I also think it's Addison that's going to tear up this defense. God knows Tyrique and Jaylon aren't going to be able to keep up with him.

The Packers have a crummy defense without Micah, and they still held the Vikings to 239 yards of total offense.  The Vikings are going to need a lot more than that to keep up with the Bears.

As a result of TO's didn't the Vikings have very short fields on their last two scores?  It'll help if the Bears can get to Wentz, he'll turn the ball over under pressure.

On one hand, I'm concerned about the Vikings rush, though it was helped by inexperienced Packers' OL and a relatively immobile Love.  On the other hand, because of Caleb' mobility the Vikings won't be able to sell out and they left the middle of field wide open.  Could mean a big day for Raymond, Kmet or Loveland.

There were so many free runners in the middle downfield for the Packers yesterday.  I'll be surprised if the Vikings take the same tact against the Bears with their better offensive line and more weapons.
