Bears vs. Broncos Odds
DENVER, CO (The Spread) – Tim Tebow looks to lead the Denver Broncos to another win on Sunday when Denver hosts the injury-plagued Chicago Bears at 4:05PM ET on FOX.
DENVER: Denver is coming off a 35-32 win at Minnesota last week for their fifth-straight win and sixth win in seven games with Tebow as the starter.

Defensively, Denver is giving up 24.3 points per game and getting beat for 245 passing yards per game. The Broncos have 33 sacks on the year, which is in the upper echelon of the NFL.
CHICAGO: The Bears are coming off a 10-3 loss at home to Kansas City to fall to 7-5 on the season.

Without those two for most of last week’s game, the Bears had just 181 total yards of offense and Caleb Hanie threw for 133 yards and 3 INT on 11-of-24 passing. Chicago is 2-3 on the road this season and 6-6 against the spread while hitting the over in 7 of 12 games.
