Chicago should win quite easily. But, the other games should all be entertaining.

Interesting spreads. Typically when Vegas sets spreads at 2.5, they want people to take the favorite, and many will because they can win if the home team wins with a fg....but Vegas probably expects that to happen....likely those spreads move to 3 and then 3.5 and then people start betting the other way, to where maybe it settles at 3. But Vegas probably feels those 2.5 games are all a toss up and they would win money if underdogs win.

Rooting for all of the road teams.
Regarding the Eagles/Bears...Rams were bigger favorites over the Falcons last year.
And man that comparison is interesting. Bears fans were talking about them being the Rams of this year before the season - and they were right. Trubisky being this years Goff, Nagy being this years McVay, Mack/Donald.
But it's eerie now. Because they are the 3 seed playing the defending champs, and are expected to win big. We were the 3 seed, playing the defending NFC champs, expected to win big...

Cant overlook postseason experience. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Trubisky suffered the same fate as Goff did last year. Eagles are an extremely well coached with championship pedigree, and are riding a bit of a hot streak which makes a world of a difference come this time of year....definitely not a team to take for granted. I honestly think that game could go either way, especially considering how the qb play has gone for both teams the past 2-3 weeks.
My picks for this weekend: Texans, Chargers, Seahawks, Bears (by the slimmest of margins).

The Bears are winning inspite of Tribusky. PFF actually has him as the 30th ranked QB this year. Which shows just how good that defense has been. Leading the league in scoring D & turnovers. The acquistion of Mack alone should get their GM executive of the year.

OT: I just met Steve Young at a gas station in Scottsdale. Apparently he has a house here. I didn't even know it was him and I asked if the gas was pumping slow and than I recognized him lol.
He said he is taking the Colts 100%. He drives a 10 year old Lexus - what a humble dude

I didn't - he was on the move since the gas was pumping so slow. I was star struck

If I still gambled, I'd probably take the Colts...they feel really hot right now. Could see a huge Luck/Mahomes showdown next week.

So far the biggest line movement has been people taking the Colts...it's moved a point. Bears have moved a half point and so have the Seahawks. No movement on the Ravens/Chargers.
I don't have a good feeling about the Chargers game. Though I guess I never have good feelings about Chargers games.
