Lions at Bears

Could be some weather around as well according to various websites i've read.

Do the Lions have a running game?

Just took the lions with the points. Think the win at philli will have gave them lots of confidence going into this, i know the bears are off a bye, but think detroit are slightly underrated and could keep this close.

d13phe - just taken the unders then thought I'd check out what the forum had to say. Agree with your analysis - esp with rain about.

Big divisional game. Both teams are passing teams with gung ho qb`s in Stafford and Cutler and both teams struggle at times to run the ball. Would rather have Bears at home with Cutler at qb and rather have the Chicago defense on my side.

Bears -5.5

The Bears are all about the rush imo

not sure Detroit will air it as much as usual with the Bears being hot on picks this year

Does anyone know whether i can watch this on BBC iplayer tomorrow afternoon

detroit got a lot of pressure on vick..reckon they can do the same to cutler and we know what happens when you rattle jay..hope it is competitive to get us through the shocking interactive coverage

lol Harry - indeed. d13 - my thoughts precisely - Big divisional match ups tend to be tighter affairs than might at first be obviously. Just hoping it's a bit cagey to bring the points unders in.

Chicago 21 - 13 Detroit.

Possibly 2 of the NFL's most unpredictable teams, it's an intriguing match-up.  I cannot offer any predictions on the score or winner, it's a real headscratcher

if its any help apparently its raining over there

Yorker789....yes you can.

detriot + 6.5
total points  under 47
detriot win by 1-6

Fancy Johnson or Pettigrew for first TD... I'll take a punt that Spaeth might even get lucky this game and score a TD.

I'll wade in with my suggestions then (by all means probably incorrect!) but as I see it as a bit of an NFL nut...

Highest scoring half 2ND (appx 1.95 ish)

Highest scoring quater 3RD (appx 5.9 ish)

Over 9.5 points 3RD (appx 1.7 ish)

is this on telly?..ty

DON'T KNOW BOUT YOU BUT DETROIT DON'T REALLY RUN THE BALL THAT MUCH

It'll be behind the BBC red button when it kicks off.

CHICAGO BEST RUSH DEFENSE DETROIT 2ND IN PASS YDS SO DOEN'T REALLY MAKE MUCH SENSE TO RUN IT BUT THATS MY TAKE

I agree with Beaniash. Twice.

Gone for the unders here as well but will leave a moneyline play till a few drives in.

they kicked off at 2.30 ......... the bbc red button is very late

Not kicked off yet - unless the stream I'm watching is delayed of course

Hate to agree with Beanish given my aversion to his CAPS - - Detroit are airing it out which makes this a toss-up only if they are lucky. For me - Chicago at 1.4. Good luck all.

ERM ... WHERES THE SO CALLED RAIN ??

GOODNESS THE BBC IS LIKE 3 DAYS DELAYED

Looked like an easy catch for Megatron there - could be one of those nights for Detroit.

http://www.thefirstrow.eu/watch/148346/1/watch-monday-night-countdown.html - was watching the Countdown show, but the game is still on there.

BBC delay is criminal

HD STREAM FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS

http://www.sportlive24.me/streams/CreepyTV.html

why did the BBC bother?.....as much as i love NFL, dont get it as business decision

Only good thing is you get a few interviews and old clips but sick to **** of seeing the divisional standings

EXACTLY AND AS THE NFL IS COMMERCIALLY DRIVEN NOT SURE HOW THAT MADE SENSE TO THEIR BUSINESS MODEL

Would have made sense having this standard of coverage about 10 years ago when streams were impossible to come by, but theyve made a halfarsed job of it at best.

Wish it had stayed on ESPN this year

ESPN KNOW HOW TO DO FOOTBALL HALF TIME ANALYSIS HIGHLIGHTS THE WHOLE LOT. BBC NEED TO STICK TO THE FA CUP OR SOMETHING

Still, I remember when NFL coverage on UK telly consisted of an hour highlights show on Saturday mornings and the Sunday night game replayed as live during Under The Moon on Wednesday nights, changed times when there's complaints about a 2 min delay.

Still pish for 2012 though

Actually, Beanish that is a more pertinent question than mine  - why would NFL agree to broadcast on BBC to begin with?  more confused than ever

I took the 3 months free espn before any deal went down..waste of time

Harry22, use it for anything else? cant think of much

I'm in ireland -  ESPN channels free with basic sky sports package........except we pay over the odds to begin with

DO THEY STILL HAVE THE FOOTBALL?
I USE IT FOR NBA BUT I GOT THE LEAGUE PASS FOR THAT PROB IS A WASTE OF MONEY

530 prem matches...that is it.

They do occasionally have some decent foreign football games on  but they should have an ESPN2 channel so they can screen the stuff they pay big for, like the rugby or English football - and stick stuff like French or Italian football on ESPN2.

It's something Setanta did well before they went t1ts-up

you get it for £10 a year with bt vision

This has all the makings of a blow-out so far.

Looking forward to Detroit's comeback though.

ALL I SEE IS BASEBALL MOST NIGHTS. I THINK THEIR SELLING POINT WAS THE PREM LEAGUE BUT NOW THEY DON'T HAVE THAT AFTER THIS SEASON BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THEY DO

Talking of a delay, someone with a lot of money is way ahead of the market.

the picture are so far behind

seattle game was 2 minutes behind when they played the packers..bloody stupid

robbie gould is gold

Yep, I played the missed FG market a lot last year and there's some guys you just don't bet against. He's very high on the list.

I know, look at betfair screen and I nearly know what has happened - players barely got to line of scrimmage

on tv that is  i presume they actually have

ITS ONLY REALLY A PROBLEM IF YOUR BETTING ON THE MATCH LOL

HOPE NOT BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS GAME FOR 2 WEEKS NOW

gould and scobie are ones not to bet against

Scobie was on fire last night. The St Louis guy, whose name escapes me, looks to have a beast of a leg as well.

If BF still had the individual performance markets on offer I'd be more inclined to pile a few quid into side markets

missed a few of the monday night games just because of the coverage,,only reason I am watching this is for divisional interest.. backed bears 2 weeks ago having seen the next 3 games...they need some serious bad luck not to win all 3

yes he does but missed a few last week

BIT TIME CUTLER

fecking hell gould blocked..

The forum love was the kiss of death on him, wasn't it?

should i get on bears -14 @5/6

thinking 100

Seen the Lions do a lot of scoring in the second halves of games, although admittedly not against a Bears D.

Still only a 10pt gap.

cutler injured now.....this lions d got to vick a lot..looks like they are getting a lot of pressure again tonight

For all the Bears possession, they haven't got a lot to show for it. The Gaints nearly have as many points!

the giants?

SF Giants in the baseball

tillman always seems to get the ball out

ohh right

Huge turnover - just as the Lions were building a bit of momentum

oh my days. 4 players left, top 3 get a pay-out. why would you call an all-in when the last placed guy only has 20 chips left? never in my life... the guy with 20 chips cant believe his luck i bet.

whats the score?

10 zip to da Bears at HT.

thanks.

is cutler out?

Didn't look too clever but he did come back in for a play after the tackle, so he could be back.

Ouch. Mug play from Detriot again

Lucky it only cost them 3

barry sanders..how valuable would he be in a fantasy league draft these days...LEGEND

No way they just lost the ball on the 1

twice detorit have blew it in the redzone...bears cant rely on this all season....at some point they will need an offence

Make that 3 times

Shocking football!  I am glad for handicappers!

what will the bears do when they go behind in games...reckon they are going to struggle

Stafford is a muppet.  he could have made the first down scrambling!

bonus spread covered packers will give this lot another thrashing

cant believe Lions covered !

I love the NFL

well it would have been a joke if they hadn't...amount of times they got in the redzone and blew it

nice,unders and first half unders landed

much needed win after an up and down weekend.  ended up up

didn't see the game but I assume the Bears weren't very good.

OUT OF ALL THE GAMES I DIDN'T THINK THIS WOULD BE ENDING UP UNDER

how the feck did the handicap cop - I went to bed with it all done!

based on what Beaniash?

this had unders written all over it.

YEAH I GUESS SO ... GREAT CALL/POST HOPE YOU CLEANED UP D13PHE

That was an awfully hard match to watch! Especially considering how many times the ball was in the red zone in the 3RD!! Didn't think Stafford had a good game for alot of the match but then when you looked at the Lions.....they just didn't run hardly anything....at all! So considering he was out there for most of the game especially at the end with the predictable pass offence he didn't do that bad a job with what he had, but it was oh so dire to watch!!

bears defence very good but detroit not protecting the ball in the redzone was criminal...bears offered very little on offence...packers have more to fear from the vikings than any of these two teams
