This is a 10* ART OF WAR on the Chicago Bears.
Chicago comes into this game down a few pieces, but I think in the end can keep this one close enough to at the very least sneak in through the back door once the final whistle sounds. Chicago suffered a bad beat at home in a 23-20 OT loss to the Bills last week and will be desperate to avoid an 0-2 start to the season; also note that there will be added incentive for a big effort here today as Chicago begins a stretch with six of its next eight away from friendly confines: "It's hard to win on the road in this league, so you want to start off the season with a win at home," said Bears' RB Matt Forte afterwards. "It's just as simple as taking care of the ball a little better, and in the red zone scoring more points when we get down there." As mentioned off the top, Chicago may have to deal with the absence of receivers Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery. However, both are listed as game time decisions, each got in some minor work in Friday's practice. Regardless, the Bears are still dangerous on the offensive side of the ball with the likes of receiver Santonio Holmes, TE Martellus Bennett and the ever dangerous Forte. And note, San Francisco comes into this contest with injuries on the defensive side of the ball as CB's Tramaine Brock and Chris Culliver are out indefinitely after ailments suffered in last week's win. Cutler though will clearly need to be careful with the ball, all he has to do is look at Tony Romo's three INT's last week; Culter though looked pretty solid in last Sunday's loss, while he had two INT's, he'd finish with 349 yards and two TD's. Defensively the Bears know they have to be better: "You know San Fran is going to come out and run some of that zone-read," Chicago DE Willie Young said earlier in the week. "I wouldn't be surprised if we get that for the rest of the year. That's not just singling us out. It's across the league. Everybody's buying stock in that particular play so we're just going to have to be sound for stopping that zone read." From a situational stand point, could this be a "look ahead" spot for San Francisco? Perhaps, it's definitely worth noting that the 49ers hit the road for their first divisional contest of the year in Arizona against a 1-0 Cardinals team which is favored in New York today. I won't call for the outright upset, but do think that all of the strong situational and motivational factors I listed above are definitely working in favor of the visitors today, I'll recommend grabbing as many points as you can; play on CHICAGO.
