S2S - Dolphins @ Bears....what are we betting?

[Scav]

Guess who got tickets for this game and is sitting near where the Dolphins come on the field, THEY ARE GOING TO FEEL SCAV's PAIN on November 5th, what are we laying on this game. NO POINTS< NOTHING. Bears will be undefeated going into the game, getting ready for the first undefeated season since the 72 Dolphins(?).....BOOM SHAKA LAKKA

Too bad the Bears couldn't play them in December, when you know it will be cold and teams coming from the warm climates really feel it. I can still picture Vick freezing his a$$ off last year. First week of November could be cold, or it could even be 60 degrees. I've got mixed feelings on this game; I'm a Bears fan but have a future wager on Miami OVER 9 1/2 wins.

While the Bears should win the division, I'm not as optimistic as you are. Remember all the optimism in 2002 coming off a 13-3 season in 2001? They went from a last place schedule to a first place schedule; injuries that they missed in 2001 were rampant in 2002. Interesting in that the other 3 NFC North teams all have new coaches. I predict one of those three will be much better than anticipated. Not sure who, however. I'd be inclined to guess Detroit.

Well, you know the line on this RIGHT NOW has to be Chicago -2.

But I'm a sport and will bet even.

Let's say loser covers a box or table for 4 at Gulfstream whenever you get on down here.

If I lose you can trade in your prize for all you can spend in 10 minutes at the local shoe show.

I was at that Vick game, it was awesome. Mora was spitting ice cubes(was his saliva) at the ref...

They should sweep the division this year, Packers are horrible, Vikings are horrible, Detroit is the question mark...Their out of division schedule is rough but they are catching New England in a down period(I think/hope) and Jets are brutal. Giants will be a great game because their defense is improved.

All I ask is that Grossman gets a full year to play. he has a CANNON for an arm and gets rid of the ball quicker then most NFL QB's.....This is his first time since Florida that he hasn't had to learn a new offense so hopefully that will help also.....My prediction for the Bears this year: They will be the last undefeated team to lose a game, and will go 13-3, get beat in the NFC Championship game by a 72 yard FG

Do they have boxes down there now? I thought they only have seats?

Loser has to buy 4 seats for the three days that we are down there...Again, Kev wins on my side of it because he will probably be with me(GPK already as a dinner coming, and now he is getting box seats...NO RISK with this guy)

Deal?

You think GB should be lower then -3? I think the bears should be favored by 7 or 10 points, they are going to destroy them

GB's defense will be much improved with the addition of Hawk, Hodge, and Woodson...I see a 0-0 tie for about two days with both their anemic offenses.

Deal. Box, reserved, c-house, whatever. And yeah, I'd go GB +3. Seen this game a million times. Take 'em.

Deal on that too.

8-8 probably wins that division. Buy or sell sexy Rexy as the QB? Um, not sold on that at all. Mediocore WRs and a decent running game. Jones is the only fantasy offensive player, D will be tough. They could go 9-7 and win the division by 2 games. Lions 2nd @ 7-9, vikes and pack tie @ 6-10 or 5-11.

Selling Rex.

Lions? The Lions are NEVER improved.

The Raider nation huh. I have been asking some of the fans and can't get an answer. Are you guys pinning your hopes on Aaron Brooks this year?

I know ONE thing... Brooks can throw a long ball....and # 18 & # 84 can run good clean patterns... If Jordan can run the rock like last year, who knowes. The Big Question is the Defense.. but a good draft and a Hard hitting first round pick (who WANTS TO PLAY FOR THE RAIDERS !! ) Im sure
coach Shell will help with the O.Line... Of course they play in a good division with Old time rivals.... But Let me ask one ?... Are the Bengals going to turn there uniforms to black & white vertical stripes ?

That could be very possible. I'm glad they are taking some of the troubled bad boy image away from my Cowboys(Who will be in the Superbowl ). Silver and Black offense should be solid if the Wrs stay healthy, Jordan is a quality RB. If O-line improves they will be ok. I think D will cost them most of thier games. I'm affraid when they fall behind, that long ball that Brooks can throw will be going to the wrong team.
