About what I guessed. What were you expecting?

JupiterUWG · #3 11-14-2005, 07:55 PM

seems like an appropriate line considering the way the bears have been playing and it being in chicago

Panthers 8-5 with a Peppers safety of Orton as time expires.

I was expecting -3.5.

The line seems low...that's what they WANT us to think. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I made a double bet on Carolina as soon as I saw this last night. The only decent teams the Bears have played all year are Cinncinati and Washington(with Patrick Ramsey in week 1). They lost both.

I loaded up on this myself. I will not be surprised at all if Caro. wins this by 10+, and am looking at options for giving more points for higher odds.

Carolina and Chicago have played the 2 easiest schedules in the league to this point. Kyle Orton may be a rookie QB but he won't throw INTs on 4 of 5 consecutive pass plays like Bollinger yesterday. The Panthers looked very underwhelming -- don't let the 30-3 score fool you.

edit: Carolina has played a worse schedule imo. TB and NE were the two best they played and neither is arguably as good as Wash and certainly not Cinci.

Ramsey was knocked out in the second quarter and he looked better than Brunell.

I like Carolina in this game, but I wouldn't be loading up. The Bears defense is too good and if they scheme Steve Smith well they could easily win. This is going to be an ugly game.

Crazy talk. The Bears have let up an average of 1 TD per game. At the very least, the game will be close. My money's on the Bears to win.
