As I'm not much of a betting man outside of playing cards and pennies of course, am I reading the line right...Colts by 7 and a total of 48 1/2 points scored?
Either way, this is a tough pick. Rex is a winner, though he often plays like a loser because he's never liked doing his home work, a pattern he set in college. But the thing about the bears is that they score a ton of points even when Rex sucks. So, I don't know if I'd bet the spread if it is 7 because the game could end up being a blow out in either direction depending on QB play. However, in 13 out of 19 games the Colts have scored 24 points or more. 3 of the 6 times they scored less than 24 points were the first 3 games of the season. And 12 out of 18 games the Bears scored 24 points or more, they are averaging 33 points per game in the post season, and their defense sets up easy scores for special teams, field goals and rushing TD's. 67%+ of the time these guys are gonna score more than 48 points and I like those "odds" so to speak. If I was a betting man, I would be leaning towards there being 49 or more points scored.
Good luck though as I'll just be watching as usual with a beer in my hand and not knowing who to really cheer for as I'm more of a college football guy.
