NFL Week 7 Wagering – Minnesota Vikings vs. Chicago Bears

Man, the Minnesota Vikings got lucky against the Detroit Lions this past Sunday! Detroit had the game won. NFL betting fans who had money on the Lions to win straight-up had be jumping and cursing their televisions after the referee called that bogus pass interference penalty against the Lions. Ryan Longwell hit the game winner and the Vikings won. Of course, Minnesota didn’t come close to covering against the BetUS online sportsbook betting spread.

The Chicago Bears also had the game in their grasps this past Sunday. I don’t understand how you can score a winning touchdown with 11 seconds on the clock and then lose by a field goal. What’s wrong with you, Chicago?

Yes, Jason Elam, the man who hit the winning field goal for the Atlanta Falcons, is one of the greatest kickers that the game of football has ever seen, but come on, Chicago! First the White Sox, then the Cubs, now this? For online football betting fans who had a wager on “Da Bears”, Chicago had to have been a huge disappointment last Sunday.

Here are the BetUS online sportsbook betting odds for this game:
Kick-off:
10/19/2008 1:00 pm est.

Minnesota Vikings + 3 ½ – 110 + 155 O 38 – 110
Chicago Bears – 3 ½ – 110 – 175 U 38 – 110

Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game:

The Minnesota Vikings are 2 and 7 against the spread in their last 9 games overall.
The Minnesota Vikings are 1 and 4 against the spread in the last 5 games between these two teams in Chicago.
The Chicago Bears are 6 and 1 against the spread in their last 7 games following an against the spread loss.
The Home team is 8 and 3 against the spread in the last 11 games between these two teams.

Here’s something you may never read again regarding the Chicago Bears – – Kyle Orten is a good quarterback.

Yep. I just wrote it. Look at what Orten has done this season, compare him to the rest of the losers in the league, including Gus Frerotte and Tarvaris Jackson for the Vikings, and online betting fans have to admit that Orten is a good quarterback.

Okay, maybe he’s not so good. Maybe, he’s just good for the Bears. In any case because the Bears have Orten and the Vikings have Frerotte, I have to go with the Bears in this game.

I see them covering the 3 ½ points. They usually do so against the Vikings at home and Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs might be the right two guys to stop Adrian Peterson.

NFL Week 7 Prediction:

I’ll be making an online wager on the Chicago Bears to cover against the BetUS online wagering spread.
