Analysis:

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #452 Chicago Bears over Green Bay Packers (1p.m., Sunday, November 17 FOX) Just feel this line is an overreaction to the Bears game last week against the Patriots. This is still the NFL, and I do not feel there is much carryover from week to week and expect a much better effort from the Chicago this Sunday against their longtime rivals. The Packers are coming off of a bye week, but QB Love has been throwing a lot of interceptions. I do not see the Packers winning this road game in a rout and we will take the points with the home underdog.
