Green Bay vs Chicago
Event Date: 12/22/2008
Play: Over 40
Comments: First let's thank the betting public for getting the over from an opening 44 down to 40 for us today. This will go back up so get on it as soon as you can. The over is 20-6-2 in non-Sunday NFL games this year, including 12-3-1 in Monday night contests. I will take a 12-3-1 record anyday of the week. That stat alone makes this a no brainer. Green Bay put up 37 points alone against Chicago earlier in the year and you can bet that chicago will be out to score a ton tonight to keep there playoff hopes alive. Over Stats 2008 Monday Night Football 12-3-1 / Green Bay 22-8-1 over run / Chicago 20-7 over run at home. Look for an easy over tonight!!!

</TD><TD class=v2table-cell01-td>I'm taking the points with GREEN BAY. The favored Bears have a few things going for them here. For starters, they are playing at home and they're also playing with 'revenge,' as the Packers pounded them at Green Bay earlier in the season. Additionally, with Minnesota losing yesterday, the Bears are still very much alive in the hunt to win the NFC North. The Packers, who have admittedly struggled lately, technically have nothing to play. So, easy play on the Bears, right? Not in my opinion!
The previously mentioned factors have kept the line above a field goal, which I feel is generous. While the Packers "technically" have nothing to play for, they're a much more talented team than their record indicates and I expect them to treat this game like their Super Bowl. For starters, the Bears are their arch-rival. Sweeping them in the season series and keeping them out of the playoffs would be something that the Packers could actually feel good about. Additionally, Green Bay has been under intense scrutiny by the media ever since the decision to replace Brett Favre with Aaron Rodgers. With Favre struggling in recent weeks, this is an opportune time (and the last time this season) for Rodgers to prove on National TV that the Packers made the right decision. I expect these factors to provide motivation for the entire team.
It should also be noted that teams in the "spoiler" role often elevate their level of play at this time of year. Former Green Bay coach Mike Holmgren sure had his team ready for a "meaningless" game yesterday as the Seahawks won outright vs. the Jets. That was a home game for the Seahawks but road teams are also certainly more than capable of thriving as spoilers. Just look at Buffalo yesterday. The Bills went into Denver of a devastating loss and having lost three straight and six of seven. With technically nothing to play for, they delivered one of their best efforts in weeks and dealt Denver a massive blow.
For all this season's struggles, the Packers are still a perfect 4-0 ATS against teams from within the division. They won three of those games outright and lost the other by a single point. Looking back further and we find them at a profitable 12-3 ATS their last 15 divisional games. While they were blown out here last season, the Packers are still an excellent 10-4 ATS (12-2 SU) their last 14 trips to Chicago. I expect them to build on those stats by playing their best game in recent weeks.
