Default Re: Chicago vs Green Bay

betting either team +/- 7 was a terrible bet. The Bears had a better line earlier in the week, and the Packers had a better line before game time. If you liked the Bears at -7, why not bet them in a teaser? The moneyline was around +280/-360 at that time - and an even money teaser has a break even point of around -250 (the low total had much to do with this discrepancy). The "1" is not worth nearly that much.

Bottom line is - this was the perfect result for those that were aware of the situation and put money on the Bears at -6.5 or better and the Packers at +7.5. Anyone who bet +/- 7 is a sucker, and will lose in the long run.
