The Chicago Bears and the Detroit Lions are going to square off in Week 17 of the NFL betting campaign. Join us here at Cappers Info, as we make our predictions for football for what should be a great game on Sunday.

Week 17 NFL Picks: Chicago Bears @ Detroit Lions
Date: Sunday, December 30th, 1:00 ET
Location: Ford Field, Detroit, MI
Week 17 Betting Odds: Chicago -3
Bears vs. Lions Live TV: FOX

This is a weird game for sure, as the public is all over the place. The Bears are getting 65% of the betting action on their side, but if you listen to the talking heads all over the country, this is a game that the Lions seem destined to win, just because the Bears can’t win the big time game. Alas, the history in this series is insanely in favor of the Monsters of the Midway for a reason. Chicago is clearly and definitively the better of these two teams. All of this talk about all of the milestones in Detroit is great, but Head Coach Lovie Smith and the gang really could care less if WR Calvin Johnson goes off for another 200+ yard game and if QB Matthew Stafford gets to 5,000 passing yards for the year or not. It’s all about the ‘W’ in the 1:00 hour, and it’s all about rooting for the Packers (as much as that must hurt Bears fans to say) in the 4:00 hour. Detroit has lost seven games in a row for a reason, and it is 1-6 ATS in those games for a reason as well. Tis the season to fade the Lions.

Of all of the games on the Sunday 12/30 Week 17 NFL betting schedule, one of my favorite is the clash between the Chicago Bears and the Detroit Lions. Join me for my tips for this 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff that can be seen on FOX.

Chicago Bears (9-6, 7-8 ATS) -3
Detroit Lions (4-11, 5-10 ATS) +3
Over/Under 45

Predictability has gotten the Lions in trouble over the course of the last several games. They have tried their best to get the ball to WR Calvin Johnson so that he can break the record for the most receiving yards in a single season. He has the record, but now QB Matthew Stafford wants to make him the league’s first 2,000-yard receiver, and he himself wants to get to 5,000 yards for the second straight campaign. The end result in the last three games has been an average of just 16.0 points per game scored, most of which have come against teams that just don’t have the greatest defenses on the face of the earth.

The Bears of course, have no offense to work with whatsoever. QB Jay Cutler still stinks, and the team has scored an average of just 16.1 points per game over the course of the last seven games, in which the team has gone just 2-5 SU and ATS.

It’s just not a pretty spot for ‘over’ bettors to be in. So many will just blindly think that this will be a showcase between Megatron and WR Brandon Marshall, and they might be right. But even still, if both go off for a combined 400 yards and two TDs, there still has to be some points scored from somewhere else. There’s a reason that there were just 20 total points scored when these two teams met two months ago, and I expect to see a game that doesn’t feature a whole heck of a lot more than that on Sunday afternoon in the regular season finale for these NFC North rivals.

The Chicago Bears and the Arizona Cardinals are going to square off in Week 16 of the NFL betting campaign. Join us here at Cappers Info, as we make our predictions for football for what should be a great game on Sunday.

Week 16 NFL Picks: Chicago Bears @ Arizona Cardinals
Date: Sunday, December 23rd, 4:25 ET
Location: University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, AZ
Week 16 Betting Odds: Chicago -5
Bears vs. Cardinals Live TV: FOX

The Bears are the quintessential team that needs to implode and just start over. The club was 8-3, and now, barring a miracle, it isn’t going to make the playoffs this year, especially if this game is lost. QB Jay Cutler keeps pointing the finger at the lack of wide receiver play he is getting outside of WR Brandon Marshall, while Marshall is complaining about the fact that his quarterback throws a lame duck of a ball. Now come the Cardinals, who went over two months without a win before dropping 38 on the Detroit Lions last week. The Cards aren’t as bad of a team as a 1-9 record in the last 10 games suggests. They do have a fantastic defense that could give Cutler and the Bears problems, and if this unit forces turnovers, RB Beanie Wells and the gang proved last week that they could really take advantage. These two teams have gone a long way from the “They are who we thought they were” game in 2006, and this is the first visit that the Bears have had to the desert since that point. This one won’t go as well as that one did barring some more magic from WR Devin Hester.

Bears @ Cardinals Pick: Arizona Cardinals +5
Bears @ Cardinals Score Prediction: Arizona 23 – Chicago 14

The 2012 NFL schedule is back, and here at Cappers Info, we’ll be looking at some of the best games on the docket each and every week, as we try to make the most money possible off of the Week 15 odds for the NFL. Join us on Sunday, as we make our Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears free picks and predictions for what should be a great clash on the gridiron.

Week 15 NFL Picks: Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears
Date: Sunday, December 16th, 1:00 ET
Location: Soldier Field, Chicago, IL
NFL Betting Odds: Green Bay -3
Packers @ Bears On TV: FOX

How crazy does this game look? Way back in Week 2, the Packers were seemingly the desperate 0-1 team that needed to win that game to keep the entire ship from sinking. They were playing against a Chicago team that looked really impressive in Week 1, and it really seemed like this was the moment where the Bears had a chance to put their foot on the throats of their division rivals, albeit it early in the season. Now what do we have? We have a Green Bay team that has looked great recently, playing against a Chicago team that looks like the sky is falling, and it is the Packers that have a chance to put their foot on the throat of the Bears. Sounds familiar, right? Just one problem. The Packers have always been the better of these two teams, and they have always been the better team by a comfortable margin. Bid adieu to the Bears, probably once and for all when this one is lost and some of the other 7-6 and 6-7 teams win on Sunday.

Packers @ Bears Pick: Green Bay Packers -3
Packers @ Bears Score Prediction: Green Bay 31 – Chicago 17

NFL betting fans are running to their online sportsbooks to place their Chicago Bears vs. Minnesota Vikings bets and predictions, and here at Cappers Info, we are making our Sunday football picks for this encounter.

Week 14 Football Picks: Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings
Date: Sunday, December 9th, 1:00 ET
Location: Mall of America Field at the H.H.H. Metrodome, Minneapolis, MN
NFL Betting Lines: Chicago -3
Bears vs. Vikings On TV: FOX

The Bears and the Vikes know that this is the most important game of the season to date for both. Chicago can take a large step in the right direction towards getting into the playoffs just by winning this game, while the Vikes know that they absolutely have to have this one to really have any realistic chance of getting in. Minnesota is clearly the lesser of these two teams with WR Percy Harvin out of the fold, though we think that the meal ticket to winning this one is going to be the fact that LB Brian Urlacher is out of the lineup for the Bears. That really might open up some holes in the dead center of this defense, and that means that RB Adrian Peterson might be in for another big time day. The Metrodome should be “crazy drunk” as LB Chad Greenway likes to put it, and that should get the crowd really getting in QB Jay Cutler’s head. This isn’t a game that the Vikings are going to win; it’s a game that Cutler is going to find a way to lose.

Bears @ Vikings Pick: Minnesota Vikings +3
Chicago @ Minnesota Score Prediction: Minnesota 20 – Chicago 16

5Dimes SportsbookOne of my favorite plays on the Sunday NFL odds pits the Minnesota Vikings against the Chicago Bears. These two are going to be meeting at 1:00 p.m. ET at the HHH Metrodome, and I’m going to show you which side to make your NFL pick on for this great game.

Chicago Bears (8-4, 6-6 ATS) -3
Minnesota Vikings (6-6, 4-7-1 ATS) +3
Over/Under 39

Last week I faded the Bears against the Seahawks, but this week, I’m going to fade both the boys from the Windy City and the team that they are playing against. I just don’t have any confidence whatsoever in either of these teams when push comes to shove.

QB Christian Ponder and QB Jay Cutler lead two of the worst passing attacks in football right now. They rank 30th and 32nd between them, and even the lowly Kansas City Chiefs are better than both. The difference is that RB Adrian Peterson can really run the ball, but as we saw last week against the Green Bay Packers, even getting 200 yards from Purple Jesus isn’t necessarily going to put points on the board when push comes to shove.

I really like the fact that both of these offenses are struggling right now. Chicago has scored just an average of 14.5 points per game over the course of its last four since scoring 51 on the Tennessee Titans, and Minnesota has had back to back games with a total of just 24 points. Someone is going to have to get into the 20s to get this game past the ‘total’, and I just don’t see how that’s ultimately going to happen when push comes to shove. The first meeting of these two just two weeks ago only featured 38 points, and that’s the absolute most that I can see happening this time around. This should be the third straight ‘under’ in this series.

The 2012 NFL season is back, and here at Cappers Info, we’ll be looking at some of the best games on the docket each and every week, as we try to make the most money possible off of the NFL odds for the week. Join us on Sunday, as we make our Seattle Seahawks @ Chicago Bears free picks and predictions for what should be a great clash on the gridiron.

Week 13 NFL Picks: Seattle Seahawks @ Chicago Bears
Date: Sunday, December 2nd, 1:00 ET
Location: Soldier Field, Chicago, IL
NFL Betting Odds: Chicago -3.5
Seahawks vs. Bears On TV: FOX

The Seahawks have very quietly scored 21, 28, 30, and 24 points over the course of the last four games, though we know that they are going to be up for a challenge in this one against a Chicago defense that might be one of the best in football. QB Russell Wilson has thrown for at least two TDs in each of his last four games, and though he isn’t really lighting the world on fire, he is managing the game and only has eight picks for the season, none of which have come in the last three weeks. Wilson actually has a 125+ quarterback rating in each of the last three games as well. Granted, we don’t think that that is going to keep up in this one, but it is still notable for sure. RB Matt Forte is out for the Bears, and that might really prove to be a hindrance as well. We aren’t all that sure that Seattle can’t come on the road and pull off this upset to stick as the top team in the chase for the last playoff spot in the NFC.

Of all of the games on the Sunday 12/2 Week 13 NFL betting schedule, one of my favorite is the clash between the Seattle Seahawks and the Chicago Bears. Join me for my tips for this 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff that can be seen on FOX.

Seattle Seahawks (6-5, 7-4 ATS) +3.5
Chicago Bears (8-3, 6-5 ATS) -3.5
Over/Under 37.5

The Seahawks have to be tired of flying out to Chicago. This is the fourth time that they have done that over the course of the last 25.5 months. They have won two of those games and have put up at least 23 points in all three of those games, which really is a great start for this one as well.

I know that the Bears are 8-3, but I’m really not all that sure that they are one of the best four or five teams in football as the oddsmakers are suggesting on the Super Bowl betting odds. QB Jay Cutler has been good, but if there is a way to shut down WR Brandon Marshall, this team might really all of a sudden look human.

And then there is the obvious factor that I just love to point out with bets like this. The Seahawks are only getting 28% of the betting action according to Covers, and yet the NFL spread hasn’t moved in this game. It has been sitting on 3.5 all week long, and it almost certainly isn’t going to be moving before kickoff all that much either. I love the way that this defense is playing. I love the way that QB Russell Wilson is playing. I love the way that the Seahawks have stayed competitive in every single game this year. And I love them on Sunday to beat the Bears outright.

Seahawks @ Bears Tips: Seattle Seahawks +3.5

The Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears are going to square off in Week 12 of the NFL betting campaign. Join us here at Cappers Info, as we make our predictions for football for what should be a great game on Sunday.

Week 12 NFL Picks: Minnesota Vikings @ Chicago Bears
Date: Sunday, November 25th, 1:00 ET
Location: Soldier Field, Chicago, IL
Week 12 Betting Odds: Chicago -5
Vikings vs. Bears Live TV: FOX

The Bears are favored by five in this game, and we’re really not all that sure that they should be favored at all. QB Jay Cutler is probably going to end up sitting once again, and that means that it’s up to QB Jason Campbell, who was a train wreck on Monday against the San Francisco 49ers. Granted, he was playing against a San Francisco team that has one of the best defenses in the league, but the fact of the matter is that Campbell’s presence put more pressure on the defense, which failed at the task of going against another backup quarterback. Minnesota is a hungry team, and it proved that it was one of the better teams in the league when it beat up the Lions last week. QB Christian Ponder is for real, and WR Percy Harvin is going to be back in the lineup. Add in the fact that RB Adrian Peterson could be the MVP of the league, and the makings are clearly there for this to be a game in which Chicago starts to take a major step in the wrong direction.

Week 11 pointspreads are out, and here at Cappers Info, we are set to analyze the NFL odds for one of the top games on the slate. The Chicago Bears vs. San Francisco 49ers odds are posted, and we are set to make our NFL picks for another great game.

Week 11 NFL Picks: Chicago Bears @ San Francisco 49ers
Date: Monday, November 19th, 4:05 ET
Location: Candlestick Park, San Francisco, CA
Week 11 Betting Odds: San Francisco -7
Chicago vs. San Francisco Live TV: ESPN

Monday Night Football was supposed to be a great showcase between two of the top teams in the NFC, but instead, what we think we are going to find is nothing but a game between one team that is really angry and one that is really overmatched. The Niners have had two embarrassing games at home already this year, the loss to the Giants and now the tie to the Rams. QB Alex Smith is in, but QB Jay Cutler is out, and the Bears have already proven that they can’t play against the best that the league has to offer. Not only was Chicago blasted by the Packers on the road, but it was crushed by Houston as well in a game in which the weather conditions were ideal for a Bears victory. The ground game just isn’t going to work, and in the end, if that turns out to be the case, the 49ers should be able to eke together enough offense to make this one work. Look for the hosts to jump into the No. 2 seed in the NFC and make a real statement to the rest of the league on MNF.

Bears @ 49ers Pick: San Francisco 49ers -7

5Dimes SportsbookOne of my favorite plays on the Monday NFL odds pits the San Francisco 49ers against the Chicago Bears. These two are going to be meeting at 8:30 p.m. ET at Candlestick Park, and I’m going to show you which side to make your NFL pick on for this great game.

Chicago Bears (7-2, 5-4 ATS) +7
San Francisco 49ers (6-2-1, 5-4 ATS) -7
Over/Under 36.5

The immediate gut reaction to the fact that the ‘total’ this week is 36.5 is for the game to go sailing under the ‘total’. However, I have a bit of a different take on this game and think that, in spite of Joe Public’s best wishes for this game to go by quickly and without incident, that it will indeed find a way to at least eke past the number.

QB Jason Campbell isn’t your average backup quarterback. He has the ability to put some points on the board, and he has starting experience. On top of that, the supposedly “vaunted” Bears defense has allowed 55 points over the course of the last three weeks, and those points have come against two bad offenses and a great offense that was stuck playing in the midst of a monsoon at Soldier Field.

Scoring hasn’t been the problem for the 49ers, as they have at least 24 points scored in four of their last five and six of their nine games this year. The perception of this team is that the defense does all of the heavy lifting, and though this unit is stout, it is capable of allowing 14-17 points and likely will do so. Now go back and look at some history of these teams. Four of the last six have gotten past the ‘total’, and the two games that didn’t were played in horrendous weather conditions (including a 17-9 game that featured almost comical wind conditions at Soldier Field). This one should at least find its way into the high-30s, and perhaps as high as the mid-40s when it is said and done with.

Bears @ 49ers Tips: Over 36.5

November 11th, 2012 By Jack Wilshire

Making sports betting picks is one of my specialties, and today at Cappers Info, I’m making my Sunday Football Tipster pick based upon the football trends and NFL odds for the Houston Texans vs. Chicago Bears game on Sunday, November 11th at Soldier Field at 8:20 p.m. ET.

Houston Texans (7-1, 6-2 ATS) +1.5
Chicago Bears (7-1, 5-3 ATS) -1.5
Over/Under 40

The very first point to make is that the weather in the Windy City is going to be absolutely atrocious today. The Bears have to loving the wind and rain that is going to be on tap, and the Texans have to absolutely have it. All hope isn’t lost for the Texans, though.

Remember that this defense is still ridiculously improved from two years ago for the Texans, and though they are a team that normally plays in hot and relatively ideal weather conditions, they have proven that they can win in the wind and the rain as well. Houston is built like a team that can grind it out with RB Arian Foster. Both of these teams can do the exact same thing though, as RB Matt Forte and RB Michael Bush are the two men that are going to be under the gun as well.

Of course, we know that the Bears have a defense that is absolutely legitimate, and this team isn’t going to go anywhere any time in the near future. This should be a defensive slug fest when push comes to shove, and I, for one, am puzzled as to why this ‘total’ is even in the 40s. The Texans have allowed a total of just 22 points in the last two games, while the Bears have held three of the last six teams to single digits in scoring. I’d be surprised if this gets beyond the low-30s between these two clubs.

Texans @ Bears Tips: Under 40
