Bob Balfe Free MNF Pick

We had a pretty nice weekend going 8-5 overall. We look to close out the week on a big note and i could not think about charging for a MNF game with two backup quarterbacks. Anyone who claims to have an edge tonight is out of their mind.

49ers -3.5 over Bears
I can’t believe we get a MNF Game that is going to be this boring. How can you predict this game? Either QB is capable of losing this game for their team. I do not think either is capable of winning the game. The Bears turn the ball over a lot and this is why I am taking the 49ers. San Francisco obviously has the advantage at home and their backup QB Colin Kaepernick is like having another running back. The 49ers have not forced turnovers like the Bears Defense has, but they are not turning the ball over on offense which is key. This Chicago team was 7-3 last year before Forte and Cutler got hurt. Without Cutler they do not win football games. I think the 49ers have better receivers that will help their backup QB make completions. Outside of the Bears starters they really are not stacked with guys who can catch the ball. You are going to see a vanilla type game tonight. Both teams are going to run and look to create turnovers. Neither team has played a tough schedule . The 49ers run the ball better than Chicago and at home has the advantage with the crowd noise. Really this game is a coin flip, but I think the 49ers do enough to get the win. Try to get this line at 3 if you can. Take San Francisco.
