I hate to say it but the best bet of the week might be the Rams on Monday night vs. the Bears. The Rams usually play well at home and the Bears have a horrible Monday Night record. The Rams are a home dog too, where teams in this situation have done very well this season and traditionally do very well in the final quarter of an NFL season. The Bears will be without their all All-Pro defensive tackle Tommie Harris for the rest of the regular season making things a little easier for Stephen Jackson to rip off big chunks of yards. Although the Bears defense has good depth, Harris was there best run stuffer and his loss hurts the rotation of DT's they bring in. The Bears also have injuries in the secondary to Vasher and Todd Johnson helping the Ram passing game too. However the main reason for going against my favorite team is what's going on with the starting QB Rex Grossman. This boy admittedly said he was confused in a interview yesterday and his OC Ron Turner said he is seeing things that are not there. He studies the film and expects things to be like they were on the film instead of reading the defense, thus the huge amount of interceptions. He is also under the pressure that this is his last chance and if he plays bad, Brian Griese will take over. The Bears practices are closed to the media, but it's no secret that Griese has been getting more and more reps each week. I look for Rex to piss all over himself and have a horrible first half before getting pulled for Griese, but the hole will be too deep for the Bears to come back and the Rams win straight up. The Rams offense will wear out the Bear defense and Stephen Jackson will have over 200 total yards. Total score could be something like 30-20 RAMS

what about the sunday night game? NO (+6.5) ML anyone:
Last 7 weeks:
Seattle dog (+5) won outright last night;
Indy (fav) won last Sunday,
San Diego (dog, i think +3.5?) won outright
Bears (dog +1) won outright
Indy (Dog +3) won outright over NE
Dallas (Dog +5) won outright
Minny (Dog +6) won outright over Seattle
I think New Orleans at home is capable of pulling it off....
