Bears vs. Steelers Monday Night Odds, Betting Analysis and Predictions

Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin made a statement that almost anyone else would refuse to make.  Last week Tomlin unequivocally shut down speculation about his coaching future.  Tomlin exposed the absurd rumor that he was in the mix for the USC job as the joke that it was.  Indeed, Tomlin and the Steelers are perennial Super Bowl best bets.  Pittsburgh’s win at Cleveland put the perfect cap on a week that saw the Steelers get back into contention.  This week the reeling Chicago Bears come to town.  Of great concern is the start of rookie QB Justin Fields.

Pittsburgh is going to get serious top online sportsbook consideration.  Cause by the Bears having almost nothing to sell.  Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields lacks a strong supporting cast.  Thus, he could have his career damaged before it begins.  Chicago is playing with fire by exposing Fields in this manner.  Gamblers can see that and are turned off.  Further, the inept Chicago offense is wearing down their defense.
