Bears vs. Broncos Free Pick
DENVER, CO (The Spread) – With first place in the AFC West potentially on the line, the Broncos look to notch their eighth win of the season when they host the Bears today at 4:05PM ET.
NFL Odds: Oddsmakers have installed the Broncos as 3-point favorites over the Bears for today’s game, while the over/under total is currently sitting at 35.5 points. Chicago enters the day with a 7-5 overall record and is 2-3 on the road, while Denver is also 7-5 and 2-3 at home.
Line Movement: Denver opened as a 3.5-point favorite and while some books still list the Broncos at those odds, others have the game at a field goal. The over/under total opened at 36 but seeing as how points could be at a premium for this game, the number has dropped to 35.5 at most sports books.
Public Betting: Of the 20,000-plus wagers on today’s game, 71% of NFL public bettors currently favor the Broncos. This information is subject to change leading up to kickoff, however, so make sure you click on the link provided for the most up-to-date NFL public betting numbers.
NFL Week 14 Free Pick: Take Denver. There’s no reason to over think this one. Chicago is without Jay Cutler and Matt Forte, which will make it awfully hard for the Bears to score again this Sunday. After Forte left the game last week against Kansas City, the Bears mustered just a field goal with the backfield combination of Caleb Hanie and Marion Barber. Denver’s defense is even better than KC’s, so look for the Broncos to hold Chicago’s offense in check as Tim Tebow works his magic on the other side of the ball. According to latest NFL trends, the Broncos are 5-0 against the spread in their last five games overall while the Bears are just 1-4 ATS in their last five games as an underdog.
