Re: My second pick (Cin/Chi)
I dont know why you doubt the Bears defense. Even last year with a lot of injuries they were still ranked 13th in the league. And that's with facing GB and Minny twice each, the 5th and 6th ranked total offenses last year. And that is with a weak offense. Their D is for real, and it's healthy this year so it's even scarier.
With all that said, I like the under. Chicago was Under 5 times last year out of 8. The 3 teams that went over- Indy, Green Bay in the last game @ 34o/u, and SF at 35.5 by 1 point. With Cincy's poor run D, I expect Chi to eat up a lot of clock and try to grind it out, and acheiving the under.
I don't know if I really like either team. As you said, both have played mediocre teams, so I'm still on the fence. But the fact that everyone is on Cincy sets off alarms. I think everyone was on Detroit too and we see what happened.
