Chicago Bears NFL Betting Preview

The Chicago Bears are the ultimate Wild Card team this football season and new quarterback Jay Culter, traded from Denver, will certainly be put to the test. This position was their weakest link even when they reached Super Bowl a few years back. This thankfully for the Bears has changed with Cutler and a good offensive behind him in Matt Forte who finished 7th in the league last season with 1,238 yards on 316 carries for an average of 3.9 yards-per-carry, and 8 touchdowns, and halfback Kevin Jones, who is a great asset and will be splitting the touches Forte.

In past seasons they were certainly noted for their strong defense but last year saw a marked changed, ranked 21st in the league in yards allowed per game and 16th in points allowed per game. They are seriously lacking in defense strength this season in truth is seems to be deteriorating especially after losing their two-time All-Pro safety Mike Brown opening up a large hole in the secondary.

The Bears have a lot of talent on the team but whether they have enough to make Super Bowl 2010 is doubtful, they lost too many games whilst they were leading, and it shows in their odds at LinesMaker where they are +1500 to win. However they do have better odds of +800 to win the NFC Championship but this is probably due to their weak schedule playing six division games and 5 other teams under .500 last year.
