NFL Betting Sunday – Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Chicago Bears
There could be little interest from a fan’s point-of-view regarding this game because the Jacksonville Jaguars proved on Monday night that they just don’t care to play NFL football any more. They threw in the towel against the Houston Texans early on in that game. The Chicago Bears on the other hand have a chance to make the NFC Conference playoffs this year. They have been a pleasant surprise for sports betting fans going 6 and 6 straight-up and 5-6-1 against the BetUS online sportsbook betting spread. Sure, those aren’t fantastic numbers and the Bears’ defense is starting to wear down like it does every NFL Season, but compared to what this team was doing last season, they are online betting winners.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are having the almost exact opposite season this compared to last season. The Jags were on the cusp of making it to the Super Bowl last season. Not so this season. They have been absolutely terrible to NFL betting fans going 4 and 8 straight-up and 3 and 9 against the BetUS online wagering spread. This team is one of the worst in the NFL when it comes to covering or beating football betting spreads.
Game-day: 12/07/2008

Here are the BetUS online sportsbook betting odds for this game:
Jacksonville Jaguars + 6 ½ – 110 + 240 O 40 – 110
Chicago Bears – 6 ½ – 110 – 290 U 40 – 110
Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game:
The Jacksonville Jaguars are 1 and 5 against the spread in their last 6 games overall.
The Over is 12-4-2 in the Jacksonville Jaguars last 18 games on the road.
The Chicago Bears are 1 and 4 against the spread in their last 5 games overall.
The Over is 19 and 7 in the Chicago Bears last 26 games at home.
This is actually an easier game to find a good football bet than what some might have thought. Sure, the Jags and Bears aren’t very solid against the spread or straight-up but the BetUS total at 40 points is more than fair in my book.
I just don’t see how this game doesn’t go over the total since both teams sport pretty good running backs and decent quarterbacks. The Jags should put up at least 17 in this game. The Bears should be good for at least 24 points.
I see this game going over by close to ten points because both defenses can’t stop the opposing offenses.
Jaguars vs. Bears Prediction:
That’s the online wager that I’ll be making – – on the game between the Chicago Bears and Jacksonville Jaguars to go over the 40 points.
