As a Bear fan I could not wait for this Sunday's line to open with the Arizona Cardinals coming to Chicago to take on the Bears. I hoped and prayed that the book would set the line in favor of Chicago, which it has at Chicago -3.

My friends, this Bears team is flat out not good. Yes they beat they Browns by 24...but they are the Browns. The score did not indicate the true game as the Bears were turned away 3 times inside the Browns 10 and settled for field goals.

Don't be fooled by the 4-3 record either. The Bears should have lost to Pittsburgh and Seattle if not for their kickers missing 2-3 field goals per game. The Bears real record...2-5.

The offensive and defensive lines are amongst the leagues worst and our defensive backfield playing the cover 2 is picked apart all day by veteran QB's and Receivers....hello...Warner? Fitzgerald? Breaston?

This my friend is going to get ugly and early. Expect the Cardinals to blwo out the Bears big in this one...chalk this up to the easy win the Bengals had against the Bears 2 weeks ago.

Place your bets folks......Cardinals +3.

I can totally see your logic, the only thing keeping me from putting money on the Cards is their tendency to turn the ball over so damn much, and the fact that the Bears are at home. Also DRC has proven to be a massive liability in pass coverage at times, which has really hurt the Cards in a few of their games. I'll probably end up avoiding this game.

the Cards ain't that great either. Both of these teams are unpredictable imo, I think the Bears are capable of a better offense than they've show recently.

I really don't know what to think about this game, maybe you're right.

Don't over think this game. You can get a good feel for games based on the productivity of the offensive and defensive lines. Cardinals are better in both categories. Cards are one of the best against the run while Chicago is one of the worst. Defensive line cannot get pressure...and so on and so on.

GL with whomever you take

The Cards defense will take full advantage of a weak offensive line.The Cards losing to Carolina last week set this week's game up nicely. The weather is supposed to be great in Chicago for the game.I had this game circled a few weeks ago.

Does that theory support the Bears or the Cardinals?

surprised to hear that you think the Bears D-Line is one of the worst in the league?? Agunleye, Alex Brown, Tommie Harris (not sure his status for this week?), Gaines Adams.. I really thought that their D line (pass rush specifically) was their biggest advantage looking at this game... I'd like to hear some more thoughts on that. :think2:

Well as a Bronco's fan that bleeds orange.. i know what Jay Cutler can do in the red zone.. throw interceptions.. 2 years of this guy rolling the dice every time he throws the football.. GL to you.. But he has a track record of throwing game breaking interceptions..

Its never a mid game interception.. its a 1 min. left, game breaking pick.. The game he fumbled against the chargers that was called an incomplete pass last year, was just one of the more famous chokes of his time in Denver.. Denver is very glad to have a quarterback that will throw it away when he needs too, and not be balls to the wall every throw.

Im not the best capper in the world.. but last time i bet the under with Chicago 2 weeks ago all I needed 1 touchdown, and cutler threw 2 redzone interceptions..

Just a small reason why the line is where it is..

They only get pressure when they blitz.They are among the the league leaders in number of blitzes.They can have success against bad offensive lines.Watch the games against Atlanta and Cinncinnati and the QB was virtually untouched the entire game.Lovie claimed the Bengals used a new offensive line scheme that confused the defense :ohno:

Cards are the correct play... theoretically. It will be literally AFTER the game >:)
