Analysis:
I called the Bears game absolutely perfect
last week and this pick is another winner
NFL bettors. Chicago is starting to look
more and more like the team that reached
the Super Bowl last season than the one
that opened the 2007 season. I say the
Bears win this divisional matchup and
cover the spread while slowing down Detroit’s
high-powered, Mike Martz-created offense.
