Coming off a 4-2 Sunday, I’m making a late play in the Monday Night Football game because the line has moved and we’ve definitely got reason to make this wager.

 

CHICAGO +7 vs. PITTSBURGH — Risking $440 to win $400

It’s really tough to pull the trigger and bet money on the Bears, who look so inept at times, especially on offense.  Chicago has played poorly their last few games, but now has a chance to crawl back to some respectable level with a win on MNF.  I’m not saying they’ll get the victory but the game should be closer than the line suggests.  Since when does Pittsburgh deserve to be favored by -7 over anybody?  Yes, the Steelers won last week despite another poor offensive effort and horrendous coaching ineptitude.  The offensive line is horrid.  QB Roethlisberger is missing open receivers and making poor judgments.  Pittsburgh’s offense ranks 26th in scoring and 18th in yardage.  I don’t see how they merit laying a touchdown against anybody.  It’s been a wacky Week 9, so far, with lots of upsets.  I’m hoping for one more — or at least a close game.  So, I’ll grab the points with the risky underdog expecting the favorite to stay withing the -7 margin.
