Over/Unders for Bears vs. Saints
(WSCR) - A few unusual bets that you won't likely see in Vegas for Bears/Saints this weekend. Print them out and enjoy with your friends on Sunday: It's Mac and Spiegs' Weekly Over and Unders!
Jay Cutler has now thrown 3 or more interceptions in 8 games as a pro
3 last week. 1 as a Bronco (11/2/08 vs Miami) and 7 as a Bear
Cutler bounces back though – He's 6-1 in his career following 3+ INT games
He's never thrown more than 1 INT in any of 7 games following 3+ INT's
Cutler has thrown 6 INT's this year. 1.5 per game. Twice over that, twice under that.
O/U for Cutler Interceptons on Sunday: 1.5
Mac – Over Spiegs - Over
Bears don't matchup well with Tight Ends
Allowed 27 receptions for 313 yards to them this year
One touchdown only – Kyle Rudolph in week 2
Jimmy Graham the best of any in NFL – 458 rec yds, 6 TD this year
O/U for Jimmy Graham Receiving Yards: 96.5 (split averages)

Very few people have Drew Brees' number but Bears are one of them
59.35 completion percentage is second lowest for him vs. anyone (Redskins)
Drew Brees has never won in Soldier Field (0-4 all-time including the playoffs)
Brees 71.3 passer rating in Soldier Field is his lowest of any NFL venue
Brees a monster this year however – 10 TD/4 INT, 1434 yds, 4-0 record, 103.8 rating
O/U for Drew Brees QB Rating: 90.5 (87.5 would split avg vs Bears to avg this year)
Mac – Over Spiegs - Under
The Bears already have 14 takeaways this year – 1 more than 2nd place Seattle
New Orleans only 5 giveaways – 4 INT, 1 Fumble are tied for fewest in NFL
Turnovers wash up then the Bears chances at winning often do as well
Can they take the ball away a few times? Need to because NO will move the ball.
Brees has had his problems all-time at Soldier Field and…BEAR WEATHER.
