NFL Monday Night Preview<\/h2>\n

Sports betting fans probably weren\u2019t planning on watching this game as the Green Bay Packers have been eliminated from the playoffs and the Chicago Bears, as long ago as Sunday morning, were on the cusp of being eliminated from the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Now, because of Minnesota\u2019s home loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, the Bears are right back in the middle of the NFC North Divisional title chase. Online football betting fans won\u2019t 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. \u00a0 <\/p>\n

They need to keep it going.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get to the NFL Monday Night game!<\/p>\n

Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears
\nKick-off: 8:15 pm est.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Against the BetUS online betting spread: Packers + 4
\nBetUS Money-Line: Packers + 180
\nBetUS Total: Over 40 points<\/p>\n

Against the Spread: <\/strong>Yes, the Bears are playing well and the Green Bay Packers are not but the Packers dominated the Bears 37 to 3 the last time these two teams met. <\/a>What has changed to make the Bears a better team in this game? Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Grant, Greg Jennings and Donald Driver can still put up points for the Pack and Green Bay\u2019s defense is good enough to hold Matt Forte and Kyle Orten at bay. I believe the Packers are an excellent bet against the BetUS Sportsbook online wagering spread at four points. It wasn\u2019t too long ago that Chicago had no chance to make it to the playoffs and Green Bay was a sure thing.<\/p>\n

Money-Line: <\/strong>The Green Bay Packers are at + 180 to beat a team that they absolutely throttled earlier in the season. The reason I want to make that point is because even though the Packers don\u2019t appear to be playing for anything in this game, they are going up against their most hated rivals, the Chicago Bears. These games are always difficult to call. Green Bay has dominated Chicago recently against the BetUS online NFL betting spread going 7 and 2 in the last 9 meetings. Why not take a swing and make that a straight-up BetUS money-line online wager?<\/p>\n

Total:<\/strong> The Over is 9-2-1 in the Green Bay Packers last 12 games on the road. The Over is 20 and 7 in the Chicago Bears last 27 games at home. Even though the Bears are considered a good defensive team, we shouldn\u2019t kid ourselves. The Bears defense isn\u2019t nearly as effective as some might think. Sure, they\u2019re not a bad defense, but good? No, I\u2019m not buying it. The defensive front of the Chicago Bears has to be tired, it\u2019s going to be cold, and that Green Bay offense still has some punch. Orten and Co. are going to have to put up some points for Chicago in order to have a chance in this game.<\/p>\n

Monday Night Football Prediction:<\/h3>\n

That\u2019s why I like the BetUS total to go over.<\/p>\n
