NFL Playoff Edition - Games to Watch (1-1)

New Orleans Saints vs Chicago Bears

This time of year it’s about Defense. We’re sticking with the Chicago Bears. We fully anticipate the Chicago Defense will rise to the challenge. We like the fact early Public money is all over New Orleans, which is receiving over 67% of the bets places on this game. New Orleans is without a doubt the “feel good story” of the NFL season. Every media outlet in country is running stories about Drew Breese and Reggie Bush. As we know, The Public loves a good story and scoring. New Orleans brings both ingredients to the party.

Early Public money on New Orleans has pushed the line from 3 to 2.5/2. We love the value in Chicago only laying -2 at home in the NFC Championship game. Soldier field will be in frenzy -- fueling Chicago’s Defense to the Super Bowl.

Chicago Bears -2  (Bet at Bodog Chicago -2 -110)
