Well the ups and downs of this NFL season continued this past week with us salvaging an otherwise rough Sunday with a fantastic upset prediction of Dallas covering against the Denver Broncos. We followed that up with another fine upset pick of the Jets over Atlanta. A volatile start to the season to say the least, but the NFL is a league of parody and hopefully we are on our way to smoothing out the fluctuations. Another win on our Thurday night prediction today should go a long way in accomplishing that. Our pick tonight see's us picking yet another upset and with a perfect record with our major underdog covers this year, the odds are very good we get rolling once again off the momentum of our earlier win from Monday night.
New York Giants +7.5 over Chicago Bears Bet 4 units
This is a battle of two surprisingly struggling teams. While the Bears jumped out to a 3-0 star of the season they have dropped their last 2 games and have have been weak against the spread. The Giants on the other hand have been awful going winless in their first five games as well as finishing out of the money in every game. But this game is a stylistic matchup that should not warrant the Bears being a favorite of more than a touchdown. While the Bears offense has been good an has done a fine job in protecting QB Jay Cutler, the defense has really weakened against the one thing the Giants can be dangerous in.....the pass. Chicago pass defense has given up 25 pass plays of 20yards or more, that's most in the NFC. If there is one thing the Giants are capable of doing that would be mid to deep threat passing. Eli Manning while having trouble throwing picks this year, still is a very capable QB with huge weapons in Victor Cruz, Hakeem Nicks, and Rueben Randle. Chicago has the weapons to score as well, but the Giants have shown glimpses of improvement lately and going up a struggling pass defense should give the Giants a much needed boost to morale.
