Well this may be one of the more boring games, but obviously important to both teams playoff chances. ON the Bears side they are without Matt Forte which takes away 40% of their offense. They already are not the same passing team without Cutler, but now without Forte they are in trouble because Forte has the vision and receiving skills that Marian Barber does not. I think the Bears struggle to score points and they'll be asking their defense to step up all day long. Bears are the best defense that Tebow has faced since the Jets who shut him down until the last drive.
Bears front 7 is just more talented than the Jets so I expect the running game of Denver to struggle. That turns things over to Tebow and the passing game and we'll see if John Fox lets Tebow go a little bit here. I don't see any more than 20 passing attempts by either team. This will be a run first effort by both and both defenses are capable of shutting the opposing offense down. The only way this goes over the total is if we have turnovers or special teams touch downs. Both teams play this conservatively considering how important the game is. The under is 45-20-2 in the Bears last 67 as a road dog and the Broncos are under 17-7 in their last 24 following a SU win.
