Online football betting fans won’t be surprised to see that the Bears are favored at home even though they were pummeled the last time these two teams met 37 to 3. The Bears have begun to play well.

Do you remember that point in Elisha Cuthbert’s career when she decided to make the movie, “Girl Next Door” after making such awful cameo appearances in “24” and “Love Actually”?

Weren’t you thinking, I think this is a little too much, too soon?
The Chicago Bears (8-6 SU, 6-6-2 ATS) find themselves in “must win” territory on Monday night when they play host to their arch-rivals, the Green Bay Packers (5-9 SU, 6-7-1 ATS) in an NFC North game in NFL pro football sports betting action that is slated to kick off at 8:30 PM ET at Soldier Field (natural turf) in the Windy City.
