There is one thing about the NFL that many bettors tend to forget. What happened in the previous week, when in embarrassing fashion, typically makes for a strong play the following week. That is exactly why no one wants the Bears who gained 146 total yards in a shutout loss last week. They will take on the upstart Oakland Raiders who are favored to equal their win total from a year ago of three, already in week four. The Raiders may be 2-1, but they are not problem free. Their two wins each came with less than :40 seconds on the clock to Cleveland and Baltimore. While they are improved offensively, at least so far, this is a team that has allowed 28 points per game over the last five years. So far this season, that number is 28.7 ppg. The Bears are 0-3 and looking to avoid their worst start since 2002. This comes down to making the tough gut wrenching play, as the bears are a hard pill to swallow for bettors right now, but they do apply to home dog situation that is 69-42 ATS. Play the home team in this one and go with Chicago.
