In the COLD tonight? What do we think folks? I'm taking the Bears despite the price, the opposite of my "the Steelers are too short" chirping last night. Vikings season heading one way, third-string QB playing, and no motivation even before they were kicked out into the cold which the players are already bleating about (justifiably, perhaps).

if there was ever a no bet game this is definitely it.
risky to take the bears imo because the vikings defensive line could easily overwhelm the bears front line and when there is pressure on Cutler we know what happens |

By:
Favre upgraded to QUESTIONABLE - throwing 3 hours before the game.
Does this make an impact the way he has been playing? Old guy in the snow better than untested third-stringer? Snow falling as well, not a night for a gunslinger. Still, should make Bears drift somewhat. |

will be all about the rush, the ball will be like a brick and very difficult to catch in the conditions. Chicago to keep it on the ground and dominate time of posession, a lowe-score win as a result I reckon.

Snow falling very hard - run first, NFC North, smashmouth football it seems!

Anyone think there are +32 points in this game???
|
|
By:
think 1.3x is a decent price. Seldom back short odds but this is attractive, 3rd string QB or not.
|
|
By:
If Favre makes it then the Vikes may have a chance, the 3rd stringer QB was a WR apparently, if he faces that Bears D there's only one outcome.
Snow all day, temp around -10 (under 20 degrees), it's all set up for a Bears win, hope I'm wrong as I'm with the Packers ante post. As for the points line, I always think once it drops to low 30s unless the weather is god awful then it;s an overs play - always a chance on special teams, fumble inside your own 10, muffed catch, something could lift the points, but I'd want Favre playing than a FA ex receiver ! Good luck if you play |

By:
Thanks for the analysis horse, i've got £21 on +32 @10/11 with £adbroke$, score line has since nudged up a point to +33 so its possible that overs is looking favourable.

interesting take on the total. bad weather usually means low scores no?
|
|
By:
Barnsey, this is looking terrible for weather.

Yes shocking weather, if it goes ahead could be fumbles galore flip side is kicking game (field goals) could suffer badly. 50/50 but hopeful 'IF' it goes ahead.

AP is out, and Favre is now probable!!
|
|
By:
Doesn't look that bad. Conditions were worse in the Leicester ipswch game last week
I'm personally amazed by the love for the bears. Favre Starts! |
|
By:
Bears will still win
 |
|
By:
But ap out.
That's huge news. |
|
By:
Favre starts apparently.
|
|
By:
over or under 32.5 ????
|
|
By:
Gerhart a big price now for first TD
|
|
By:
See Horse9's comments weather not good but been played in worse seems low 30's achievable. Im on +32
|
|
By:
Flowers went 3.75 Vikes up to 2 mins ago. Has created a nice starting postion. Fancy the Bears strongly no Adrian Petersen no chance imho
|
|
By:
Quite an interesting piece about the effect of the cold now
|

By:
They are great on the science of sports

|
By:
Over 12.5 VIke points please
|
|
By:
Favre plays. Peterson out. The pitch is described as "unplayable" by some of the Vikes, so I guess this explains the points line. Both defences are stingy when on song.
Even so, it says something for the demise of Favre after all his heroics in the cold at Green Bay that line is set at 33.5. I guess a couple of turnovers and some botches or big plays on special teams (Hester) could make |

By:
Pitch looks fine from what I have seen.
Forecast also improving according to comms. |
|
By:
No AP, so Vikes running game is zero.
Favre will have to force it, and we knows what happens when he does that. My money is already down on Da Bears. Should be easy. |
|
By:
somebodies manipulating the overs market here..sid james have it 10/11 each over 34... 1.8 overs here!!
|
|
By:
Don't forget farve has his best two weapons in rice and Harvin.
Overs and vikes for me |
|
By:
Vikes at this price

cmon Brett

Regardless of what happens Brett Favre is one tough basterd
|

By:
I'll risk looking like a complete fool, but this looks like such an easy Bears win, it's a no brainer.
Bears have a great defense, Cutler playing well. Vikes don't have their best weapon, Favre is hurting, if he goes down, it's the 3rd stringer. Bears will try to take Favre out. Favre will force several passes and get picked off, at least two times. Home field isn't a huge advantage for the Vikes tonight. Bears O line is suspect, but Cutler can handle the pressure. Bears by 14. Get the knives out. |

ffs Cutler so bad
