He is between 250 and 350 and a touchdown in his last 3 games. I think Cutler is grossly overpaid for what he is but he had 7 seasons over 3000 yards, had 3800 yards and 28 touchdowns last year, had a 4500 yard year in his career, etc. he can go off.

Cutler has a 190-134 career td to int ratio, with a career passer rating of 85.5

When Cutler does what is considered by his own standards to be 'going off' it is usually based on sheer volume. The guy has had one good season in his entire career. That isn't to say he cant have a good game, but the odds are a little bit worse then the flip of a coin.

Bears starting center and left tackle are inactive today. Lots of sacks today, maybe?

It not uncommon. Someone who has a lot of money sees a chance to put a grand down and make a bundle if the Bears win. A lot of money follows into the bears. They become the favorite.

Anybody watching the whoopin' the Chiefs are inflicting on the Lions? Last week's win does not fill me with confidence after watching that. The Lions are a terrible team.

The good news is the Bears are pretty bad, too... and beating bad teams counts just as much as beating good ones... so, here's to a convincing win at Soldier Field! :beerock:

cutler never lost at home against Vikings, take them as the underdog straight up to win maybe, everybody gets on the HYPE TRAIN. I can see how that would shift a line. I guess.

Coming off a bye, at home, divisional game. Vikings can't afford to start slow today.

I understand that, it still just doesn't seem right though, to be completely honest.

Sure it does. Vikings opened as 2 point favorites. The spread changes based off of bets. There was probably too many bets on one side so Vegas adjusted it to get more bets on the other side.
