Big division game against 3-1 Kalispel this week. I have never beat them...so I gotta win, right?

[Z]

Looks like our best chance to snap the skid. 14 games has been an eternity.

[Clay]

Another National TV game and yet another week we go in as "dogs". We've been underdogs every week of the season so far and, despite being killed with injuries, we've managed to scrape together a 3-1 record (2-0 on the road). We're getting healthy... so we'll hope to find some holes in that New Orleans D.

Your team scares us. Hopefully, we can give you a good game and pull out a win.

Hoping Portland's Andrew finally has a bad game and the streak for me continues.

[Lintyfresh85]

Tough one against St. Paul this week. In fact, I'm expecting it to be down right brutal.

[Acid]

I sort of feel good about my game against Denver, I have people coming back from injury (Randy Richardson) and I'm hoping my team can get back on track.

[dkgojackets]

I hate bye weeks.

QB should recover from his broken hand at least.

[Jistic]

Why my team is favored every week is beyond me. We are one of the worst teams in the league and lose pretty much every week, yet we've been favored in every game.

Must be coaching.

Chicago is only favored by 1 against a 2-2 team and at home. Not exactly a vote of confidence.

Favored is favored. Been favored every week.

Cmon man its not that simple. You were favored over Boston by 2 at home in week 3 (cant see week 4 because Skydog didnt post it) which isnt anything. Its basically a push. Vegas doesnt think Chicago could win a game by a field goal at home.

Also, if I had a gun to my head I would have picked Chicago to beat Boston and win this week. Your team was in playoff contention last year so they arent horrible.

Saying "Vegas doesn't think Chicago could win a game by a field goal at home", is exactly as valid as saying "Vegas thinks Chicago should be 5-0".

Either way, surprised we're favored every week.
