The pros at FiveStarPick are excited about tonight’s Monday Night Football plays as the Green Bay Packers lace em up on the road at the Chicago Bears.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Packers as 3-point road favorties with a total of 46.5.  We think this line is DEAD WRONG.

Eight teams entered Week 3 with 2-0 records and four of them were handed losses on Sunday. Tonight from Soldier Field, one more club will join that group as Chicago (1-1 against the spread) welcomes their rival Green Bay (2-0 Against The Spread) in a NFC North battle.

The Bears received a questionable win over Detroit (19-14) in Week 1 when Calvin Johnson’s late score for the Lions was reversed. Despite the lucky victory, Chicago went on the road the very next week and stunned Dallas 27-20 as a seven-point underdog. Bears quarterback Jay Cutler (649 yards, 5 TDs) seems more relaxed so far and he only has one interception through two games, after tossing 26 last year.

Defensively, Smith’s squad has also looked sharp. The unit has only allowed 289 YPG and they’ve forced six turnovers. With all due respect to the Lions and Cowboys, the Packers’ offense is averaging a league best 30.5 points per game and will be a much bigger test for the Bears tonight. Chicago picked up defensive end Julius Peppers in the offseason to bolster its pass rush but the defense only has two sacks after two games.

Underdogs posted a 10-5 Against The Spread record on Sunday and that included outright home ‘dog wins by Kansas City (+3), St. Louis (+4.5) and Seattle (+4).

Can Chicago join the mix and improve to 3-0 like Pittsburgh and Kansas City? Or will the Bears get exposed and look like the Texans and Buccaneers did yesterday? We’d include the Saints and Dolphins in that mix, but the pair played decent plus they lost to legit teams in the Falcons and Jets respectively.

While those numbers are telling, keep in mind that Chicago has played well on MNF under Lovie, going 4-1 in five appearances. Plus, the Packers are just 3-8 in their last 11 under the MNF lights.

The total for tonight is hovering between 45 and 46 and like most other primetime affairs, bettors should expect it to rise by kickoff. Green Bay has shown that it can score (34, 27) this season, but the ‘under’ has still produced a 2-0 mark. The Bears have a 1-1 total record.

Green Bay has gone 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS in its last four meetings against Chicago, which includes last year’s sweep (21-14, 21-15). All four games went ‘under’ the number. It should also be noted that Rodgers has been the starting QB for the Packers in all four of these affairs and ironically the lone loss (17-20, OT) came in 2008 at Soldier Field, which was on a Monday as well.

The pros at FiveStarPick.com are looking forward to a brilliant day in the NFL as we give our members several plays on today’s board.  The focus of this preview is the Sunday Night game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Chicago Bears.  Most books list the Eagles as 2.5-point road favorites with a total of 45.

Philadelphia has lost their last two games and tonight’s game will be Philly’s second consecutive road game.  The birds currently sit at 5-4 on the season, a game behind the division leading Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles are coming off a 31-23 loss to the Chargers last week and looked completely one dimensional as they rushed for a measley 29 yards on 13 rushing attempts.  Running back Brian Westbrook suffered his 2nd concussion in 4 weeks against the bolts and is listed as questionable for tonight’s game. Starting quarterback Donovan McNabb threw the ball 55 times last week completing 35 of those passes for 450 yards, 2 TD’s and 1 interception. Philadelphia was terrible in the red zone converting on just 2 of 5 attempts.  On the defensive side of the ball the Eagles are pretty good allowing just 3.7 yards a carry.

The Chicago Bears are 4-5 on the season.  Jay Cutler is completing 62% of his passes, but has a  14:17 touchdown to interception ratio. RB Matt Forte struggled last week rushing the football and had just 41 yards on 20 carries. The Bears have been hit hard with injuries to their defense as well, but turned out a good effort last week against the 49ers. The Bears passing defense is ranked 5th in the NFL giving up just 195 yards per game.  They will need all their swagger to keep the pass happy Eagles at bay in this one.
