Drew Breese vs the ranked #28 Pass-D...

[spuddy999]

Yes, Drew Breese (4,100 yds, 65% completions, 26-14 TD-vs-Int's, 96 QB rating) and the ranked first NO Offfense, including the #1 ranked Pass-O averaging over 310 ypg, are going to visit Da Bears tonight.

Da Bear feature the NFL's #28 Pass-D. It's probably even worse than that when you consider the passing-offenses they've played: #26 DET twice, #25 MIN twice, #16 JAX, #23 CAR, #27 StL, #24 TENN, and just a few decent ones, #6 Indy, #5 Philly, #12 TB, & #10 GB (once so far).

Weather is forcast ito be 25F and 30% chance of flurries with winds around 10mph through the game.

Me, I'm seeing alot of value in NO +3 and OVER 46...

Am I missing something here?

Probably the whole, indoor team playing outdoors, is the only thing I can think of with that line.

That's just what I was thinking and then I checked the weather - not so bad for this time of year in the Windy City: 10mph! Should cause very little trouble for the passing game.

I'm thinking there's probably still a good bit of the old da-Bears-play-great-D aura floating around people's heads...

I think I found the reason for this line looking so good for NO. The Associated Press...

"The Bears have a much better shot at a postseason berth, trailing first-place Minnesota by one game in the NFC North. The Saints are three games behind NFC South-leading Carolina, so their best chance is most likely via a wild card.

A loss at Chicago, though, would virtually end New Orleans' hopes and it wouldn't be the first time it suffered a major blow there.

The Bears routed the Saints 39-14 two years ago at Soldier Field in the NFC championship game, and ended their postseason chances with a 33-25 victory in the finale last season..."

It seems that history is not in our favor. That's fime by me. My money sez current form is ALWAYS more relavent than history...
