Saints (5-8) at Bears (5-8)
LINE: NEW ORLEANS by 3
Even Jon Gruden will have trouble finding praise for this one. It may seem odd that woeful Saints are favoured here but that’s a testament to just how bad this Chicago defence has become. The Bears have allowed the most points in the league, an average of 29.1 per games and that includes 75 points in its past two games when the Bears were still in playoff contention. The Saints too have been brutal defensively but they made some roster moves this week to help shore things up. It also helps that Chicago WR Brandon Marshall has been sidelined for the year, allowing the Saints to key on WR Alshon Jeffery. Saints better on road lately and they can control this one.
TAKING: SAINTS -3

Hondo

Hondo almost mediocre

Saints over Bears: According to a study, animals such as bears, deer, apes and dogs, among others, engage in self-medicating by eating different substances that make them feel better or prevent disease or kill parasites. And if the “medication” doesn’t work, they can always fall back on the ultimate cure: licking themselves.

BEST BETS: Giants, Chargers, Saints.
