Chicago Bears (3-1)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Chicago Bears were pretenders at 3-0. In Week 1, they got a gift when a blown call cancelled Detroit\u2019s winning touchdown against them in the dying seconds. In Week 3. The Green Bay Packers handed them a win by committing 18 penalties.<\/p>\n

The Bears fielded a legitimately strong passing attack with Jay Cutler under center and \u201cMad\u201d Mike Martz calling the plays over those first three weeks. They also did a great job stopping the run. But their shortcomings finally caught up to them in Week 4\u2019s disastrous loss to the New York Giants.<\/p>\n

The Bears allowed 10 total sacks \u2013 nine of which came on Cutler in the first half. He left the game with a concussion and has been ruled out for this weekend\u2019s game at Carolina. The Bears\u2019 horrific offensive line is perhaps the worst in the NFL. Cutler\u2019s mobility at least helped him buy time to make plays but backup Todd Collins won\u2019t bail out the line as often. It looks like the Bears will really struggle to pass the ball this weekend.<\/p>\n

Come to think of it, they may not run the ball well either. They average an NFC-worst 68.8 rushing yards per game; Matt Forte can\u2019t seem to find a hole and, when he does, he can\u2019t hit it with enough steam. <\/p>\n

We haven\u2019t even touched on Carolina yet but it should already be fairly clear that you should bet UNDER the total of 33 this week. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Carolina Panthers (0-4)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Carolina Panthers don\u2019t have a win yet but they at least drew some positives from last week\u2019s 16-14 loss to New Orleans. They held the Saints to a respectable 262 passing yards. They ran for 118 net yards, averaging 5.1 yards per rush. DeAngelo Williams finally got going on the ground, running for 86 yards and a score on 13 carries, and his buddy Jonathan Stewart found pay dirt on a 55-yard catch.<\/p>\n

Quarterback Jimmy Clausen also survived. He threw for only 146 yards and a touchdown but didn\u2019t turn over the ball. That\u2019s all Carolina can really ask for at this point.<\/p>\n

Clausen should have a tougher time against an aggressive Bears \u201cD\u201d this week. Julius Peppers should be a man possessed playing against his former team; I expect multiple sacks from him.<\/p>\n

The pick:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Go ahead and bet on this game but do yourself a favor and don\u2019t watch it. It should be very, very ugly. The Bears won\u2019t move the ball with Todd Collins starting behind a brutal O-line on the road. The Panthers could struggle too with a rookie quarterback facing an experienced \u201cD.\u201d The Bears should also have no problem stacking the box against Williams and Stewart since they won\u2019t have to respect Clausen. Remember, Steve Smith is also out with high ankle sprain.<\/p>\n

Since the Panthers are at home, can at least move the chains on the ground and aren\u2019t starting a 38-year old quarterback, I\u2019ll lean their way. But this will be a grubby, low-scoring game.<\/p>\n
