Bears at Steelers odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Steelers 30, Bears 13
Money line
The Steelers (-320) will cost you more than three times your potential return, and that’s just too expensive despite the fact the Bears (+250) are atrocious on offense, and banged up on defense.
AVOID.
Against the spread
The STEELERS -6.5 (-112) have been able to get the run game going lately, and that has meant QB Ben Roethlisberger has had a little more time to operate.
Pittsburgh enters this game relatively healthy, and they will be facing a a Bears +6.5 (-108) defense without the tackle machine Mack, and a D which likely will have Jackson missing from its back end. If Ogletree is also out, Pittsburgh should be able to run amok with very little resistance.
Over/Under
The OVER 38.5 (-112) might be my favorite play on the board. Yes, the Under is 6-1 for Pittsburgh this season, and 6-2 for Chicago overall. However, the Bears will have several key parts either out or not quite at 100 percent on the defensive side of the football. The Steelers should be able to get the offense going in a big way, and they could take of most of the Over themselves.
