Bears are 13-3 under Ben.
13-2-1 against the spread.
So not only winning, but covering, as a lot of those are his underdogs,
in 16 non-NFC North games.
So much success outside the division.
Not that he's been horrible in the division, right?
I mean, they've been good now for a year and change.
But he does really well outside the division.
His offense is just as complicated as it was with Detroit.
so that does make some sense that the teams don't really get
a good shot to see him and then this is
a short week too for New England to have to prepare
but i'm not going to sell New England
short based off what i'm seeing the last couple of weeks
but Scott as i always approach betting
and as i always approach this stuff is is pretty much
the same every week of course i watch the
games and of course i know what happens
and of course i know the players but it's very simple
for me i'm always selling high
and buying low ATS in the NFL i mean that's just it like these are
human beings and in the end disrespected human beings tend
to play better and guys who feel like
they're doing so great tend to come back down to earth
because in the end in the NFL 11 guys on 11
guys and what is the separator it's the quarterback
and then probably one or two other players in the
league so uh you know for me every team is kind
of the same it's just about spots and and and where
they are and and uh and knowing really in the end
and it's funny to think about another thing Joe
and ari and i talk about a lot too is i i love
these teams that it's they're oh and six and oh
and six ats because at the end of the season they're going
to be about 500 ats everybody's
about 500 ats so i monitor that very closely like
when houston hadn't won a game ats okay now here
comes houston winning games you know
at some point scott uh look i know chargers may go 2 and 15
they're going to start covering some spreads
before the end of the year i know that's coming
with all these big lines coming too
so it does feel like the spot does favor because of that
Chicago a little bit
but I still would like I would like to see this team fully healthy in a
back-to-back scenario playing against a good team
and winning and then it would be a lot easier for
me to start buying back in like I was after week one
and by the way that week one win does look a
lot better now against Carolina with the way
that the Panthers have played recently
