adam Posted Tuesday at 06:36 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 06:36 PM Lions favored by 6, the 4th biggest spread of the week. For how bad the Bears looked, the Lions looked worse in Week 1. For EPA/P for the offense and defense, after Week 1: Bears 23rd and 6th Lions 22nd and 26th The Lions defense was bad and lucky they didn't give up 40. The Bears were unlucky and gave up 27. I don't think the Bears defense allows that much again. I also think the offense musters at least another TD (to replace the defensive one from Week 1) but I don't trust Santos at all. So I am going with 24-20 Bears. One of these teams is going home 0-2 on Sunday, both overall, and in the Division. Hopefully the team rises up for Ben as he got a lot of hate, for no good reason, for leaving Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn around a bad Bears franchise and NFL legend status awaits him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted 7 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Looks like Gordon and Jarrett might be out this week. Jaylon a full participant is promising. Did Poles jump the gun on the Gordon extension? He averages 3 missed games per season and already has one this year, with #2 looming. He is 22nd in the NFL for CBs in AAV, which is normally the range for your CB1. We will see how that plays out, but it sucks that he is out with a soft tissue injury considering he is so athletic.

adam Posted 7 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Line now at Bears -6.5. Now the 2nd highest spread of the week. Bears +6.5 seems like a great bet because it feels like a game that will be within a TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he let the contract play out and he signs somewhere else the Bears Nation would throw a fit. At the end of the contract, some will have been good and some may have been a bad decision. Did GB make a bad decision paying Parson 47 mil a year with knowing he has back issues. If they go to a SB, no, if doesnt play a lot of snaps during the contract , yes.

There is a good chance that the Bears win if Gordon plays in Week 1 vs McCloud. I didn't mind the extension because they needed to lock up some of their drafted players but Gordon is still the highest paid CB2 in the NFL by a big margin, and will probably still be the highest paid CB2 next season (unless 10+ CBs sign new contracts that exceed his).
