So the time has come for the final football pick. Ill be sad when the day is over cause then ill have nothing to bet on...haha Football was good to me and ill leave the other sports to the rest.
Today im taking the Bears +7. Ive always been a firm believer that defense wins championships and that goes for all sports. Im not saying that Chicago will win todays game, but the defense will keep it close and will give them a chance to win it.
Furthermore, the moneyline on this game is way too light. for a spread of -7 you should be looking at around -320 to -330, but its only -240 to -250. Even with a spread of -7 and all the juice its still way too light. -240 is about a spread of -5.5. I watch moneylines all the time and cant remember the last time I saw one this light--I think the USC vs Texas bowl a couple years ago was just about this light. Also, im leaning on the under at this point but that may change later. So unless something drastically changes in the next 7 hrs my picks are:
