NFL Free Pick: Take Chicago. For the Bears to be listed as nearly a touchdown underdog after the way they dismantled the Falcons on Sunday is a slap in the face to Lovie Smith’s squad. While the Saints are too good to start 0-2 on the year, the Bears should keep the score within a touchdown with another solid effort from their defense. According to latest NFL trends, the Bears are 2-0-2 against the spread in their last four meetings with the Saints, while the underdog is 5-2-2 ATS in their last nine meetings. Playing with a heavy heart in the wake of losing his mother earlier this week, Brian Urlacher should help Chicago’s defense put the clamps on Drew Brees and the explosion New Orleans’ offense.
