I also think the Chi/SF will be low scoring, and 13 points is WAY too much for a low scoring game, especially with San Fran's defense being decent. The Giants O only put up 24 on them. SF covers for sure, maybe 17-7, 16-9, or something like that.
I agree with your on both your points.
13 points is really high for a 33 point O/U and KC has been doing quite well lately.
I dunno.... 24-10 doesn't seem like a ridiculous score to me with the Bears playing at home....
Detroit has a decent defense, as well, and we saw the whoopin the Bears layed on them early in the season....
I don't think the Niners have a substantially better D than either Detroit or Minnesota, and Chicago put up 38 and 28 (respectively) on those two teams at home.... I don't think 24 is too big of a number to expect out of the Bears this week...
San Francisco is a HORRIBLE road team... Look at the scores they've allowed thus far this season when they've been on the road:
Philly - 42 points
Arizona - 31 points
Washington - 52 points
In fact, the one and ONLY time they held an opponent under 24 points (at home OR away) this year is when they faced Chris Simms in his first career start IN SAN FRANCISCO.... They have the worst points-allowed-per-game average in the league (30.8).... And on the road, they give up an average of 41.7 points per game.....
What's so decent about that defense, again?
