3PM Eastern - New Orleans at Chicago
1st Quarter Plays
$25 Saints ML +115 (theGreek)
1st Half Plays
$50 N.O./CHI over 21 -120 (theGreek)
$75 Saints 1H +1 -110 (BetCRIS)
Game Total
$100 Over 42 -115 (Local - would still take over 42.5/43)
Team Props
$30 Last Bears Score of the game FG/Safety +160 (theGreek)
$30 Last Saints Score of the game FG/Safety +160 (theGreek)
- I think there's good value on these props as the Bears average 2+ FG attempts a game and the Saints hit a pretty good percentage of their FG's (average like 1.7 FG attempts a game). Wind isn't that strong today, and I expect a close ball game where the coaches will want to put points on the board whenever they can.
$50 Over 4 Sacks combined in the game -105 (BetCRIS)
- I think the Bears defense will get after Brees and indecisions will cost Grossman a few bumps today.
Player Props
$100 Drew Brees -42.5 yards passing over Rex Grossman -120 (theGreek)
- Brees is averaging 76 more yards per game passing, and I look for the Bears front 7 to limit Deuce rushing today.
$100 Over 5 receptions by Reggie Bush -115 (BetCRIS)
$35 Over 37.5 rushing by Reggie Bush -120 (BetCris)
- Looking at a lot of check downs for Brees and for the Saints to get Bush involved in the game early. Bush averaged 5.5 receptions and 35 yards rushing a game this season .
$10 Over 2 receptions by Deuce Mcallister even (BetCris)
- Check downs again.
$60 Under 2.5 receptions by Dallas Clark+135 (BetCris)
$40 Under 28.5 yards receiving by Dallas Clark - 105 (TheGreek)
-New Orleans was above average against tight ends in the regular season, according to FootballOutsiders.
$50 Over 4.5 receptions by Marques Colston -148 (TheGreek)
- Marques and Reggie need to step up big today.
$80 Over 4 recptions by Bernad Berrian -115 (TheGreek)
- Like the value
$20 Over 8.5 tackles (+ast) by Brian Urlacher even (TheGreek)
- Some value imo
