By the way, Bears have put Freeman and White on IR after the game and promoted Gentry from the practice squad into their active roster because they don't really have any decent WRs left to catch passes on the outside or strech the field - seeing as Wheaton still not healthy at all. I am not saying this season is doomed as well as the last was but the injury carousel already started and it's just week 2. Damn.

After week 4 - I think we are doomed so many ways, injuries aren't even the real problem here. Mitch Trubiskys first game in the reguklar season cannot come soon enough.

Score is going to be hard to predict, because the ViQueens defense is more than decent (altough they are really not fair well historically on Soldier Field), but our playbook going to opening up now that 'mr. checkdown statue' is no longer going force his passes into triple coverages (ginger giraffe was so bad as a game manager one could wander what did they see in him when signed him up in the first place). If I were to bet on this game (which of course I will as soon as the lines are open) I would take the Bears spread. They will be getting something like +3 or +3.5 and they did covered both games this season as home dogs. Money line could be good too but there are just too much unknown things coming into play this night (Mitch did not have many reps with the first team offense so far etc.) and prime-time division games are always close.
My prediction is something like DA BEARS 24-21 MINNESOTA.
They covered the spread but lost the game after all. Khmmm, again... Too bad because I had hundred euro riding on the Bears Money Line (it would have payed 2.5x) but this season is probably not gonna be something to be proud of later. Trubisky is special though.

Oh, boy I was definitely not wrong about both. The season is already in the $hitter, the head coach should hve been canned 3 weeks ago and all the time I am coming home from work on Sundays to watch the game stream it makes me scream in pain because it really hard to handle what I see. I love the Chicago Bears but this love is truly one-sided.

I guarantee yiu that more people watching it in Europe than you give credit for IMO. The London games are selling out within minutes every year and fantasy football is at all time high right now.
The Bears are on a bye week right now (after four weeks of play they are at 3-1 and leading their divison) so there is not going to be so much to watch besides the NFL Redzone tomorrow afternoon, but if I am willing to put some wagers down on some teams then this weekend could get interesting in the end...
Lions and ViQueens won their games while the fudgePackers lost so the lead did not change in the NFC North and my team have a four game strech in the upcoming weeks against the AFC East where at least three teams looks beatable right now, so theres hope that the Bears could start their playoff push in November with six wins in the bag. Fingers crossed.
Miami is on this week. They have a decimated O-Line but their secondary is pretty good altogether so it will be interesting if Da Bears choose to go 'ground and pound' mode and use Jordan Howard more in this game with just running the ball down their throats... Bears a three points favorite this game but I think this will be a low scoring battle so whoever bets on it take the under.

Well it was a low scoring effort for two quarters than the sun, heat and humidity killed both defenses entirely and DaBears fumbled at the goal line and at the game winning drive as well so of course they've gotten beat by overtime...
The Cheatriots coming this week with their head coah Bill Belicheat to Soldier Field. Hope we win.

Dunno if this going to be a disaster or not but I am fairly optimistic about this one. The Pats are not the same team on away games and Da Bears is great at home this year. Surely interesting matchup.
Any time you give up two special teams touchdowns you are gonna loose badly especially against Bill Belicheat. They were not cheatin' today that much, but it was bafflin' to see that the refs would not call blatant holding penalties against them even when it happened right in front of their eyes...
