(NFL) New Orleans vs. Chicago,
Point Spread: 3.50 | -115.00 Chicago (Home)
Result: Loss
This is why Jay Cutler will always have a job. Just when he is playing like crap and is in a game in which he is supposed to lose, he comes up with a great game. The Saints have been held to 10 points twice in the last four weeks. According to Pro Football Focus metrics the offensive line has given up more total quarterback pressures than any other unit in football.

No surprise, Saints defense coordinator Bob Ryan is showing his point of diminishing return. The Aints defense surrendered 495 net yards per game, which ranks dead last by an embarrassing margin.

The teams have identical records even though Chicago is in a much better division. MNF home underdogs that do not have a winning percentage below .340 are 66-25. The fact SNF has taken a lot of the prestige from MNF has not slowed it down as such angle is 6-2 since 2011.

This line is bloated because the Saints are still in contention because of being in a horrid division. But the myth of betting a team that needs it more has been debunked many times, though in the final week it becomes a bit more complicated.

Two teams with the same record. MasseyRatings confirms the Bears have played a better schedule. If anything these two teams are about even, but home field advantage is worth three points, not negative three.
