Chicago Bears at Las Vegas Raiders
Betting Odds, Picks, and Predictions for Week 5
Why? Do we really have to do this? The false hope? The delusion of beating a terrible team that couldn't even lose correctly? OUR Chicago Bears looked like a Super Bowl contender while taking advantage of a Dallas defense that would allow my grandmother to average 3-yards a carry. Now, they head to Las Vegas to take on another defense that was just shredded by a backup QB and backup running backs. Will the Bears get to 2-2 and falsely convince everyone they are back?

Bears at Raiders Betting Odds
- Spread: Bears +1.5 (-118 at FanDuel), Cowboys -0.5 (-110 Fanatics)
- Moneyline: Bears (+100 Fanatics), Raiders (-110 BetMGM)
- Total: Over 47.5 (-110 BetMGM), Under 48.5 (-120 ESPNBet)
This line has vacillated between both teams at -1.5 with no real rhyme or reason. One would think that means the bets and money are pretty even, but that isn't the case here as 76% of the bets and 86% of the money are on the Bears, yet Vegas is the current favorite. To me, that shows that the sharps aren't buying the Bears any more than we should. The total has slightly risen a point since the open last Sunday, with the majority of bets and money on the under.

Bears at Raiders Betting Picks
Make no mistake, this is a game between two bad teams. The line wiggle between favorites shows nobody is really sure who is going to win this game. The Bears have arguably more firepower, but Vegas returns home in need of a win. Dallas completely self-destructed last week and kept us from hitting the Over, and I don't see the same bad luck hitting us again this week. Both teams should score with relative ease, so I like the Over as the best bet for this one.
