SUPER BEARS, SUPER BOWL! The Bears Take a Giant Leap Up the Odds List!
The Chicago Bears win against the Minnesota Vikings marked the first time they won back-to-back
games against NFC North opponents since the 2012 season. As exhilarating as that is, that
wasn’t the only thing to come out of the Bears Sunday night performance – they are ranked better
according to online odds makers. Today it was announced that the Bears now have the fifth best
odds to win Super Bowl LII, seen on different betting sites in the USA. However, odds are
changing, and it seems that the Saints and the Rams are not far behind them, with odds 7/2 and
4/1, respectively.
There are still worry with the Bears. While their defense looks like a championship level unit,
while the offense still has a little ways to go. I’m not talking about Mitchell Trubisky, and I
certainly am not talking about his average day on Sunday night. My biggest concern is the lack
of run blocking and ability to consistently fight for those tough yards up the middle of the field.
I have complete faith that Trubisky continues to mature, and get better. He has seemed to put up
great numbers after he has a subpar game, and even though the Bears are coming back on short
notice I see a major play on Thanksgiving with the Bears chasing 3 against the Detroit Lions. I
mean sure, the Bears are coming back on short rest, as are the Lions, and this could be a trap
game with the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football.
This would mark the third consecutive premier game in a row. This seems like a perfect time for
Bears’ fans, and those partial to betting, to take a look at some Bears action.
With the Bears sitting at 7-3, in control of the NFC North, Thursday proves a big test to show
that they can compartmentalize and really look at the schedule in a game-to-game way. Then,
with an extended off week, the Bears will have the chance to show all football that they can
compete with the absolute best in the NFC, and possibly NFL.
Don’t twist my words, I don’t know if they can compete, yet, with the likes of the New Orleans
Saints, but I do think this Bears team could continue to get better, and with a little luck, make a
ton of noise in the NFL this season.
