cutler out for sunday

I dont understand why Carolina are only slightly favs around 5/6

I didnt see anything good from the 2 back up qb's Chicago used last week after Cutler's exit plus they have no running game, Carolina look a good thing

This has all the makings of a poor low scorer. Collins is a career backup qb who is 38 now, has shown nothing in games he's played. Carolina will try to run it all day and the bears are good against the run.
I imagine Carolina are only slight favourites as this is likely to be settled by kicks and D rather than TDs
Total is 33, I'm pretty sure it opened 35.5/36

I backed under 35 yesterday.

Under 35 looks a slot.
Steve Smith is likely to be missing as well so very little aerial threat from the Panthers, they'll just be chewing up yards and time on the ground.
Under 35 looks a serious slot !

If you can still get 35 or 35.5 I would definitley invest in that, as its 33 at most places now - and Steve Smith is all but officially inactive, both teams will run the ball a lot (as said)

Not saying its a shoe in, but if your thinking of betting it, take the 35/35.5 that is still advertised in places now

nevertoolate - the onloy way the line goes over is with some big special teams plays, and there will need to be more than one.
I can see both teams attempting 50 rush plays, that clock just won't stop.
Under 35 looks very tempting

I've already bet it horse9, I completely agree with you. Bears will be in check down pass mode and running. Panthers will keep handing the ball off too. Bears have a much better special teams, which will be their best chance of TDs. Just hope 1 team doesn't go 2 TDs up as pick 6s could easily mess it up. That would be late 3rd/4th q madness though and I should have laid off by then

nevertoolate - if special teams are kept to zero points I can't see how the line goes over 35, only danger is a muffed/blocked punt and short field.
All things considered this is one of those golden lines that come around very infrequently, time to load up, press, and keep pressing

Thats a good point about Special teams, also with it being 2 baD q-backs, interceptions come into it you can just imagine Chicago guy getting intercepted and giving Carolina first and goal or similar

Just seen he was sacked another SIX times yesterday.

^^^ yes he and that O line is a joke...it pays to oppose the bears...i opposed them on sunday,i havent even looked at who they play this week, if i could navigate round betfair blind id lay them again not knowing who the opposition was......i thought ROD WOODSON knew his stuff, he likes the bears over any other NFC team   that was pre seattle game,i guess he didnt watch them at carolina either.
