Monday Night Football betting preview: Vikings at Bears
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Bears' offense is averaging a league-low 15.9 points per game and ranks 25th in the NFL in rush with an average of 87.9 yards.

Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears (+4, 40.5)

Their perfect record now a thing of the past, the Minnesota Vikings look to get back on track when they visit the Chicago Bears on Monday night in a matchup of NFC North rivals. The Vikings opened the season with five consecutive wins prior to their bye week but absorbed their first loss in a 21-10 defeat at Philadelphia last week.

Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer would not blame the bye week for stemming his team's momentum, instead pointing to a sea of mistakes that included four turnovers, six quarterback sacks and a kickoff return for a touchdown allowed. "So if you're going to do those things, you have no chance to win," Zimmer said. Chicago, which has dropped three in a row and six of seven, has a burgeoning soap opera building. Jay Cutler, who suffered a thumb injury in Week 2, is poised to return to the starting lineup amid a published report that Bears coach John Fox told friends that he is "done" with the veteran quarterback after this season.

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN.

WEATHER REPORT: Conditions will be cloudy with temperatures in the mid-50's and a zero percent chance of precipitation. There will also be a 10 mph cross-wind blowing off the water.

LINE HISTORY: The Vikings opened the week as five-point road favorites. The spread got as high as 5.5 before beginning it's downward tumble in the Bears' direction - ultimately settling in at 4 as of Sunday evening. The total opened at 41 an came down a 1/2 point to 40.5. View complete line history here.

INJURIES:

Vikings - WR C. Patterson (questionable), CB M. Sherels (questionable), TE M. Pruitt (questionable), WR J. Wright (questionable), WR L. Treadwell (questionable), RB J. McKinnon (out), DT S. Floyd (out), RB A. Peterson (out), QB T. Bridgewater (out).

Bears - QB J. Cutler (probable), G J. Sitton (questionable), WR C. Meredith (questionable), LB D. Trevathan (questionable), LB P. McPhee (questionable), RB J. Langford (questionable), CB T. Porter (questionable), WR E. Royal (doubful), G K. Long (doubtful), WR M. Wilson (questionable), QB B. Hoyer (out), WR K. White (out), CB K. Fuller (out), LB L. Houston (out), LB L. Barrow (out).

ABOUT THE VIKINGS (5-1 SU, 5-1 ATS, 2-4 O/U): Injuries to top running back Adrian Peterson and along the offensive line are stagnating Minnesota, which ranks 31st in total offense (299.2 yards) and 30th in rushing (74.3). Quarterback Sam Bradford had six touchdowns and zero interceptions in his first four starts but was picked off once and lost a pair of fumbles last week against his former team. One of his new favorite targets, wideout Cordarrelle Patterson, has 16 receptions and two touchdowns over the last three games but missed practice Thursday with a concussion. Still, the Vikings rely on a defense that is limiting foes to an NFL-low 14.0 points.

ABOUT THE BEARS (1-6 SU, 1-6 ATS, 3-4 O/U): Backup quarterback Brian Hoyer suffered a broken arm and third-stringer Matt Barkley appeared totally overmatched in last week's 26-10 loss at Green Bay. While Fox denied the report by the Chicago Tribune, insisting there's "absolutely no truth" to it, Cutler acknowledged: "He doesn't have a choice, I guess, at this point." The most pressing issue facing Fox and Cutler is how to jump-start an offense that is averaging a league-low 15.9 points per game and ranks 25th in the NFL in rush with an average of 87.9 yards. Chicago's defense sits 20th in the league, permitting an average of 24.1 points per game.

TRENDS:

* Vikings are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road games.
* Vikings are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 Monday games.
* Bears are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
* Under is 12-3-1 in Vikings last 16 road games.
* Under is 5-1 in Bears last 6 vs. NFC North.

CONSENSUS: The road favorite Vikings are picking up a big 79 percent of the point spread betting action. Under is grabbing 57 percent of the totals wagers.

Pats, 'Boys hurt Books
October 31, 2016

For the fourth consecutive week the Las Vegas sports books found themselves at the mercy of the Patriots and losing big to the game which set up a do or die Sunday night game where in most cases they needed the Eagles to win outright at Dallas to save the day.

In both cases the bettors came out as the winners and when throwing in Oakland's 30-24 overtime win at Tampa Bay, it was a rough three-team parlay paying 6/1 odds (Bet $100 to win $600) the books couldn't recover from.

Prior to the Sunday night kickoff, CG Technology VP of risk management Jason Simbal said they were "break-even on the day" but that any combination was a "six-figure loss except for a straight-up Eagles win."

The only late positive for Simbal's seven books was the Cubs winning Game 5 of the World Series, 3-2, over the Indians to force a Game 6 Tuesday night. But it didn't erase the big Cowboys win, who were five-point favorites and won 29-23 in overtime after trailing 23-13 in the fourth-quarter.

It was almost the same story for Jay Rood's 10 MGM Resorts sports books across the strip.

"We're up small right now," Rood said before the Cowboys game, "If Dallas comes through with a cover, we'll a lose a litte on the day."

The favorites ended up going 7-4 against-the spread with only two underdogs winning outright. The 'over' went 8-3 on the day, with two of them aided by the three overtime games.

The big game that got the bettors' party started Sunday was the Patriots 41-25 win at Buffalo as six-point favorites. It was the root game to almost everyone's parlay and teaser. The Bills beat the Patriots, 16-0, in Week 4, without Tom Brady playing, but since Brady has come back from his season opening four-game suspension he's covered all four starts and the Patriots are now 7-1 ATS.

So what are the books going to do to moving forward to neutralize the Patriots who they're already increasing well over the true point spread?

"The Patriots have a bye this week, so maybe that will slow some of the momentum," said Westgate SuperBook VP Jay Kornegay. "They keep covering the number and bettors love that, and I can see why they load up them every week. They're the best team in football."

In Week 10, the Patriots get a visit from the Seahawks, but despite the quality of the opponent, you can expect the Patriots number to be inflated.

"We'll make more adjustments on them," said Kornegay. "We're used to runs like this with the popular teams bettors like and what we have to do to counter that popularity."

That adjustment is likely to be an even higher luxury tax placed on the point-spread. Instead of Patriots -5 for that game, you may see Patriots -7.

CG Technology opened spreads on every game in April and the Patriots were only -2 at the time.

Yes, the Patriots are very good. But so are the Raiders late in games. Are you kidding me with David Carr. Between his situational running and calm nature nature late in games, he reminds me of John Elway. Can't wait till they make Las Vegas home.

And how about Dak Prescott, who struggled for the first three quarters, but came up huge when it counted. Prescott will start next week at Cleveland and then who knows after that. Tony Romo is waiting to take over his team, but it just seems like a bad move momentum-wise after six straight wins and, most of all for bettors, six straight covers.

NEW YORK (AP) Jimmy Butler scored 22 points and Dwyane Wade had 12 in the first road game with the Chicago Bulls, who improved to 3-0 by beating the Brooklyn Nets 118-88 on Monday night.

The Bulls had seven players in double figures, with Wade becoming the last of them when he left Bojan Bogdanovic behind with a crossover and was fouled on a drive to the basket in the fourth quarter.

Nikola Mirotic had 16 points and 10 rebounds, while Taj Gibson added 14 points and 11 boards for the Bulls.

After home victories against Eastern Conference playoff teams Boston and Indiana to open the season, the Bulls easily handled their road opener, leading by as many as 33 points.

Bogdanovic scored 15 points and Jeremy Lin had 14 for the Nets, who fell to 1-3.

HAWKS 106, KINGS 95

ATLANTA (AP) - Dwight Howard had 18 points, Kyle Korver and Dennis Schroder scored 17 points apiece, and the Hawks beat the Kings for their first 3-0 start in five seasons.

Every Atlanta starter scored in double figures, and the Hawks held Sacramento's DeMarcus Cousins in check after he averaged 30 points in the Kings' first three games. He finished with 14 points and 12 rebounds.

Rudy Gay scored 22 points for Sacramento (2-2), which led 81-79 after three quarters. Matt Barnes also scored 14 points, and Ben McLemore finished with 12.

Howard went 8 for 20 from the line, but also contributed 11 rebounds and four blocked shots. Paul Millsap added 13 points and a game-high 14 rebounds.

RAPTORS 105, NUGGETS 102

TORONTO (AP) - DeMar DeRozan scored 33 points and Kyle Lowry had 29, leading Toronto to the victory.

DeRozan is the first Raptor ever to start a season with three straight 30-point games, and his run is one short of Mike James' stretch from 2006 for the longest run at any point in the season.

Danilo Gallinari, Will Barton and Emmanuel Mudiay each had 16 points for Denver, and Jusuf Nurkic added 13 points and a career-high 18 rebounds.

Lowry hit a tiebreaking 14-footer with 1:36 remaining.

Tuesday’s six-pack

Six of the more interesting football games this weekend:

— Colorado (-12) over UCLA Thursday. Buffs have come a long way to be a double digit favorite in a league game.

— Eagles scored five TDs during recent 1-3 stretch; interesting game with the Giants, who are coming off a bye.

— Pitt-Miami— Hurricanes are on a 4-game losing streak.

— Steelers-Ravens— Will Big Ben play for Pittsburgh?

— Alabama-LSU— Tide won last four series games by average score of 29-16.

—First place in AFC West is at stake in Denver-Oakland game Sunday night in the Coliseum.

Tuesday’s List of 13: Nobody asked me, but…….

13) Cam Newton was whining about late hits again Sunday, after Carolina beat the Cardinals. Guess he did it then so people could not call him a sore loser, since they had won.

Best part of this is that Carolina goes to LA next week to play the Rams, usually thought of as a dirty team. Refs might start throwing flags during warmups, just to get loosened up. Great.

12) Coco Crisp was going to get $13M from the A’s in 2017 if he played in 140 games this year, something like that. Since his skills are in decline, they were making sure he wasn’t going to reach 140 games, and he voiced his displeasure with that.

Note: It would’ve been incredibly stupid to pay him $13M next year. Fair or unfair, it was good business.

So to quiet the storm and I guess reward a player who had helped the A’s over the last few years, Oakland dealt him to the Indians on August 31 for an obscure lefty reliever named Colt Hynes. Weird circumstances can help a team win a championship.

11) Phoenix Suns have a young player named Alan Williams who was a good very player at Cal-Santa Barbara. If any of the Suns have trouble with the law, they can call Alan up— his mom just got named police chief for the city of Phoenix.

10) Jacksonville Jaguars just fired their OC in large part because the QB had regressed. Who did they replace the OC with? the QB coach, who is in charge of making sure the QB didn’t regress. Oy.

9) Now that the Cleveland Cavaliers are champs, ever wonder what their former coach David Blatt is doing? Guy got fired last year; you have to wonder what he is doing now. Is he coaching somewhere? Did he go back overseas?

Would be interesting if Blatt went on TV, to hear what he had to say. Former coaches are usually better than former players on TV.

8) Who was the first DH in MLB history? Ron Blomberg walked with the bases loaded against Luis Tiant in Fenway Park, in April of 1973, in the first big league AB by a designated hitter.

7) Russell Westbrook is the first NBA player since at least 1983 with 40+ field goal attempts, 20+ free throws and 10+ assists in the same game. He is also the first guy since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1975 to get a triple double with 50+ points.

6) Former Bills’ coach Mark Levy is 91; he looks great. Coach Levy was at Wrigley Field Friday night and was also there for the 1945 World Series, the last time the Cubs played in the Series, before this year.

5) Texas Longhorns haven’t had an offensive player taken in the first round of the NFL Draft since QB Vince Young, in 2006.

4) CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders closed out Taylor Field this week; lot of history there. Toronto Blue Jays actually played exhibition games in Regina in 1989 and 1993.

3) If you’ve never experienced Halloween in Las Vegas, I highly recommend it; few years ago, think it was 2012, i spent a weekend at the South Point Casino, which is a really good place, has a bowling alley, movie theater and 24-hour coffee shop as well as an excellent sports book. South Point also has an equestrian arena, so when the pro rodeo is in town, the cowboys stay there.

I had no idea there was such a thing as pro rodeo, so the first night I am there, I walk down into the casino and 95% of the people there are dressed like the cast of Blazing Saddles.

I ask the security guard if it is cowboy Halloween party and he says “No, the pro rodeo is in town.” I tell him I never heard of the pro rodeo. He looks at me and says “Where are you from?”

OK, so we don’t have rodeo in New York…….

2) So couple nights later, the rodeo is out of town and it is Saturday night and I notice a red carpet with TV cameras near the entrance. Ask the same security guard whats up.

“Oh, the fetish and fantasy ball is tonight.” he says. I give him a knowing look, not wanting to be a fool again, since I know we have fetish and fantasy here in New York but I had no idea what I was about to see.

An astounding parade of people in all kinds of costumes that were, um……revealing to say the least. I’m leaning up against a slot machine watching this in total amazement.

1) So I watch the parade for a little while then go watch the late college football games; after that I’m going up to my room for something and I get on the elevator with this couple from the fetish and fantasy ball.

He is dressed as a prison guard, handcuffs, night stick and all; she is in shackles and a neck collar, with an outfit that is torn in very strategic places. She had to be a model or a porn star, totally gorgeous and it is just the three of us on the elevator. I have zero idea what to do or say.

So I say nothing until we get to my floor and I wish them a Happy Halloween as I get off the elevator. I’m guessing they did.
