Chip's NFC Power Play Winner (Falcons/Bears)
(NFL) Atlanta vs. Chicago,
Point Spread: 7.00 | -115.00 Chicago (Home)
Result: Win
Atlanta at Chicago 1:00 ET
Bears (+) over Falcons- Not so much that I have confidence in the Bears but Atlanta has to still be shell shocked by the results of their last real game (they were 0-4 both SU and ATS in the preseason). Chicago closed the pre-season with a 25-0 white wash loss to the Cleveland Browns and you can't get much lower then that. For the Falcons this is the first game without offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan who was in synch with Matt Ryan. The piece that everyone is aware of is that the Super Bowl loser in road openers are 2-15 straight-up and ATS in the last 32 years. The Bears are 23-10 straight-up in home openers and Atlanta is 5-18 straight-up on the road against non-division opponents. Take Da' BEARS!
