I cannot recall if we discussed this one before, so I'm posting or reporting. Our friends over at Hogs Haven have posted the Vegas' over/under lines for wins this season.
Chicago's line is at 8 wins.
Green Bay and Minnesota are at 8.5 and Detroit is at 6.5, so a pretty wide open field.
The NFC looks like this:
| Arizona | 7.5 |
| Atlanta | 4.5 |
| Carolina | 7.5 |
| Chicago | 8 |
| Dallas | 10.5 |
| Detroit | 6.5 |
| Green Bay | 8.5 |
| Minnesota | 5.5 |
| New Orleans | 8.5 |
| NY Giants | 8.5 |
| Philadelphia | 8.5 |
| San Francisco | 6 |
| Seattle | 8.5 |
| St. Louis | 6.5 |
| Tampa Bay | 8 |
| Washington | 7.5 |
Based on this and only one team in double digits, they are expecting the NFC to wipe each other out. In the AFC they have 4 teams posted at double digits, Indy, NE, San Diego and Jacksonville.

I'd take the under or the push.
8 is what I would take.
I’ll take over on the Saints and under on the Falcons.

I’m gonna go on record as saying 11 and 5, it wont matter though cause when we are in the playoffs mike b is gonna say it was lucky, that if we didnt get this pick or we devin hester dindt return that kick we wouldnt be there. Is it still luck is it happens alot?

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE D ... AND THE SPECIAL TEAMS AIN'T BAD EITHER
Anybody who takes the under is an IDIOT. I hope you blow all your cash betting against one of the best defenses in the league. Go ahead and rag on RT, the embarrassing play at qb, the question marks at o-line, the dangerous unproveness at WR, the overall sucktitude of the offense. But if you let one snake-bitten, injury-riddled season make you forget how good our D was … and will be … then you deserve to lose your shirt and your house, you Bears fan poser. In 2005, we were RANCID on O and we made the playoffs. In 2006 we rode the D all the way to the Super Bowl. Tell me one defensive position where we’ve dropped off vs. 05 or 06? Even if we get nothing from Grossman in his contract year, if Williams is a bust, if Cedric is as plodding as he was last year and Forte ends up just another mediocre back, even if the O-line takes ANOTHER step backwards this year, we still have 10 good wins out of that defense + Hester alone. And if you can’t see that, go post on www.ignorantbearpessimits.com.

Just because of the sheer
stupidity of this post, I recommended it. There are so many stupid things said, I don’t even want to get started.

He kind of has a point.
In 2004 when everyone thought the team was dreadful the D played well had a lot of takeaways, etc and we had a rash of injuries. Then suddenly in 2005 we were healthy and even with a rookie QB with no arm strength and predictions far and wide of 3-13 and the worst team in the NFL we won 8 in a row and ended up 11-5 with a playoff berth? No reason to think that can’t happen again.

If Brown stays healthy
We’re a dominant defense again
And even if he doesn’t we just need one of those safties behind him to play well

sure it can. the point of exercises like this is people pointing out what they think will happen. if it were just about what could happen there would ne no point, as anything can happen. everyoen knows that if the defense and special teams play excellent all year they can pick up the offense. its whether or not they think it actually will.

okay
Tell me one defensive position where we’ve dropped off vs. 05 or 06?For starters, I would say: corner back. Safety – both of them. Middle linebacker.

This year vs. 05/06
Middle linebacker: You think Urlacher has dropped off. I think you’re forgetting how good 54 is when he’s healthy and hungry.
Cornerback: Huh? It’s still Vasher and Tillman, they are in their primes, and they bring more experience.
Safety: This is what I’m talking about … You forget how great Mike Brown was… and will be. You can think that because he was injured in the past he will be injured again in the future. I’ll take my chances that he’s due for a run of good luck and good health.
In 05 and 06 we were beginning to wonder if the Bears were putting together one of the best defenses in team history. Our 07 injuries are no excuse but what if they were a legitimate “reason.” I for one am not sleeping on the Bears D in 08. I won’t be the one surprised when they make a return to dominance.

much depends on the other teams, as usual
I would tend to think that depending on how GB does with Rodgers, along with MN’s scatter – armed QB, then with the improving Lions, their success or lack of same will also play a large part in the Bear’s fortunes this year. An obvious point, but nevertheless still relevant.
