Angle says if a team off horrid defensive effort relative to points allowed and oddsmakers projected points against last game, they are 90-65-4 against the spread to bounce back. That is a strong 58.1 percent and favors Bears. Greater than 14 point home favorites 43-62-1, saying to fade Seattle. In the rare case when the chalk is on a two-game losing streak it is 3-6 against the spread, or of course 6-3 to fade them.

A handicapper fantasy has occurred. Jay Cutler is out. Is we saw when he was outplayed by Josh McCown losing Cutler is addition by subtraction. Seattle was two yards from winning back-to-back Super Bowls. In a league where parity rules, of course they are overvalued. There have been many Super Bowl losers that failed to make the postseason the following year, so while Seattle is better than they have shown, they should not be laying two TDs to anyone.
