Jacksonville (+ 2 1/2) @ Bears (10-16-16)

[oldunclemark]

1 p.m. EST ....Andrew Catalon, Steve Beuerlein and Steve Tasker  (they don't waste a sideline babe on this game) CBS

upper 60s and cloudy .......over-under 46....

 

Jax QB Blake Bortles (89 of 160, 1,050 yards) has only seven TD passes and 6 interceptions..

...and coming off a bye, hell be throwing to the Big Allen attack of Allen Hurns (15 catches, 226 yards) and Allen Robinson (21 catches, 238 yards)

Jax drew 11 penalties 2 weeks ago in the win over the Colts....(they lead the NFL with 41 bad flags for 392 yards in losses) but they have a 1-game winning streak....and the defense of the Jax has 12 sacks. The Jaguars have only 305 yards rushing in 4 games...wow....

 

Bears are led by fantasy MVP candidate Brian Hoyer (100 of 140, 1,094 yards, 6 Tds, 0 INTs) the king of completion percentage (71.4%)

Eddie Royal (25 catches, 284 yards) has emerged as Hoyer's main man while Alshon Jeffrey (22 for 394) has seen his chances go down with regular QB Jay Cutler out..

Bears have found new blood in IU alum RB (Ground and Air) Jordan Howard (51 carries, 296 yards and 12 catches of 122 yards)

Bears will be without CB Bryce Callahan, who was so good vs the Colts...and that will hurt because Jacksonville doenst even seem like they want to run the ball

 

Both teams are coming off games against the Colts so they may be a little overconfident on offense.

This is the last gas station before the desert for the Bears (1-4) who play at Green bay Thursday night and vs.Minneosta after that. Its win today or be 1-7 at the halfway mark.

Jax (1-3) isn't doomed in the AFC South with a loss...but they would like to win a game inside the continental United States.

 

 

2 desperate teams playing in front of a crowd waiting for the Cub game to start......the over (46) is good here...

2 1/2 isn't enough to take Jacksonville and the Bears kickeris so bad...I wouldn't give anything taking them

[oldunclemark]

  Looks like some rain...up here

.....that's going to make it fun slipping and sliding on the Soldier Field cow pasture

Go Bears!

[2006Coltsbestever]

Here in Indianapolis I am getting Eagles at Redskins and Bengals at Patriots. Guess I will watch the Patriots. That is strange the Bears aren't being shown here??

[oldunclemark]

  Bears-Jax......0-0 after one quarter............Boy I cant tell you how exciting this is.

Patriots hold them, figures. Man they always find a way to do the impossible.

Yeah, losing is not an option for them.

[Malakai432]

Honestly I'd rather watch the Bears and Jags game though, even though it's a trashfest....  I love seeing divisional foes go down.

Doesn't seem like it. Cincy cant score from the 1/2 Yard line. Man that is crazy. They just always seem to make plays other teams don't.

[oldunclemark]

Hoyer...11 of 14..96 yards....really stretching the field

  Jordan Howard in the end zone..10-0 Bears

[2006Coltsbestever]

Andy Dalton was like the hell with this, I am taking it in! Great job Cincy! 7-3 lead.

can you come back from 1-5?

[2006Coltsbestever]

Just now, oldunclemark said:

I say no because Atlanta is legit in that Division.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Carolina had 1st and Goal and Cam threw an INT  what a Turn over Machine he is this season. I am following that game on ESPN ticker.

[oldunclemark]

Has Julius Thomas done anything since he left Denver??

....Jax must cry every time they write out his checks...

Yeah he really is useless, even when he plays the Colts which shows you how bad he really is.

[2006Coltsbestever]

10-7 Patriots at the Half. Cincy hanging tough and Cincy gets the ball to start the 2nd Half. Saints are still up 21-0 with about 4 minutes to go until Half.

10-0 Bears at the half...

.......6 of 11, 78 yards for Bortles....he's better than that

 

..when the Bears are shutting you out at the half.....its not them...its you!

[Malakai432]

Bengals up 14-10, TD by LaFell

Yep, Bengals giving them a scare. Saints are up 24-10 at Half. Cam finally threw for a TD.

[Malakai432]

Really, the Patriots just got a safety on Cincy. . . . . . Why is everything about this team always so good on all fronts???

[2006Coltsbestever]

Here comes the Cincy collapse. 14-12 now. I thought that holding call was nonsense but oh well.

yup

 

[2006Coltsbestever]

That holding call on Cincy turned the whole game around. Instead of Cincy having 1st and 10 and their own 35 - moving, they got backed up and then a Safety happened. Now Brady to Gronk, Pats lead 19-14!

[Malakai432]

Carson Wentz is 4/10 for 40 yards lol.  I wonder if Dan Dakich still thinks he's the real deal as he was calling Luck overrated, lol.

That is the problem with the media. These guys in the media are getting paid big money but yet when a QB has 2 or 3 good to great games in a row most of them claim the guy is legit or Great. Just like everyone saying Cam is better than Luck because he had 1 Great season. Luck has been much better than Cam this season.

[Derakynn]

WOW. The dude is literally holding the Bear's pass rusher by the neck and they don't even call it.

Yeah, clearly Cam is NOT better than Luck.  Cam would get destroyed on this Colts team.
