See, here’s the great thing about not having a boss: when you don’t feel like working, you don’t have to. I watched about seven total hours of baseball today and worked until 1:30 am. Right now, I don’t really feel like writing 800 words about why the Lions suck. So I’m not going to.
The spread
Bears -3
Around the web:
Big Daddy Drew: "With Aaron Rodgers mildly injured and the Packers coming back down the earth the past two weeks, it’s not reasonable to suggest that the Bears are now the best team in the division. And if Kyle Orton makes the playoffs, we’re all getting laid."
King: "Twelve weeks to job-save, Rod Marinelli."
SI FanNation Sez…
Bears, 88%
ESPN’s experts agree
As I'm writing this, only two of ESPN's experts have their picks in.
Key to the game: I don't really know, just murder Kitna
Has anyone actually paid attention to this week's Bears news? I surely have not. I guess Tommie Harris got suspended or something. But even without really knowing/caring what's going on, I can say that above all else, the Bears focus this week should be beating Jon Kitna into the ground. He's got two real good receivers, so just sack him before he can throw it to them. Easy as pie.
Matchup Bears should win
Urlacher vs. Kevin Smith/Rudi Johnson
Matchup Bears should lose
Calvin Johnson vs. an injured Peanut or Peanut's replacement
Sweet 90’s alt rock song that may or may not remind you of Trace Armstrong
Rage Against the Machine- Bombtrack
Bears win if
Kitna leaves with three to five broken bones
Bears lose if
The offense gets too conservative against an inferior opponent
Mock my previous predictions
Read them all
In the end
Bears 31, Lions 10
