Kurt Warner threw a whopping five interceptions for Arizona in the surprising loss.<\/p>\n
The Chicago Bears (4-3 SU, 4-3 ATS, 3-4 O\/U) had an easy time with the regressing Cleveland Browns as I predicted for avid NFL gamblers last week, spanking the lowly Browns 30-6 to cover the NFL point spread as an 11.5-point home favorite with room to spare.<\/p>\n
While quarterback Jay Cutler failed to throw a TD pass in the game, running back Matt Forte rushed for 90 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries while the game\u2019s final score played Under the 40-point O\/U total.<\/p>\n
Here is a look at tonight\u2019s key trends and NFL Betting Odds, followed by my in-depth analysis and expert NFL Free Picks.<\/strong><\/p>\n Cardinals are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a road underdog. NFL Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n Arizona Cardinals +3 -115 Analysis:<\/strong> While I was surprised by Arizona\u2019s Week 8 loss \u2013 and ticked off that it gave me one of my three losses in a fantastic wagering week \u2013 the key trends for this contest clearly point to a Cardinals cover, most likely with the straight up win.<\/p>\n While Chicago Bears have gone a very solid 4-1-1 ATS in their last six home games and equally impressive 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight games as a favorite, Chicago backers had better be worried about the fact that the Bears have also struggled against winning teams, going 1-5-1 ATS versus a team with a winning record, while seemingly having a letdown following a big win as they\u2019ve gone a poor, 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games following an SU win of more than 14 points.<\/p>\n The Cardinals have gone a spotless 4-0 ATS in their last four games as a road underdog and an even more remarkable 6-0 ATS in their last six games as an underdog.<\/p>\n Arizona has also gone 5-1 ATS against a team with a winning record, telling me they play better against better teams, while showing a nice ability to bounce back from a resounding loss, going 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a double-digit loss at home.<\/p>\n If you need more proof that the Cardinals are the right pick in this contest, just look at the fact that the offensive-minded Cards have gone a stellar 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games against their NFC conference rivals.<\/p>\n Despite the fact that both teams are averaging an identical 22 points per contest (surprising considering the Cardinals are considered the better offensive ballclub) I say take Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald and company to hand the Bears their first home loss of the season in this one while the Over narrowly plays out.<\/p>\n
