NFL Picks and Predictions: Houston Texans at Chicago Bears

There are so many glorious football games this Sunday. The Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys will play a rivalry game with their season on the line. The New Orleans Saints battle the unbeaten Atlanta Falcons and attempt to disrupt talks of “destiny”. My favorite game, though, is the Sunday Night Football clash between the Chicago Bears and Houston Texans; An AFC Vs NFC battle for supremacy.

The Houston Texans were rolling along until the Green Bay Packers picked them apart before a national audience. The Chicago Bears, from the very same NFC North, look to keep pace. This match up is intriguing and this game should be intense. That said, there is no signal on who to bet on in this coin flip.

The expert analysis on our forum has actually shifted to an open conversation about whether or not the “Texan” would have a pistol if battling a “Bear” in the wild. I say no, he would not, but that’s neither here nor there. We see extremely limited value in this game between two top teams, but all Z-Code experts are excited to watch. Z-Code has conflicting parameters, with some value on the Texans but expecting the Bears to win. Conflicting parameters are always a great sign to stay away, but we won’t because that’s not fun. It’s Sunday Night Football – and that means a fun bet while we watch arguably the game of the week.

I think the Chicago Bears are the better team and I think the NFC is the better conference. Jay Cutler and the Bears offense will move the ball against the Texans as long as they “show up”. That should be enough at home, where the spread seems to undermine the talent of this team. I wouldn’t throw more than a unit around on this volatile game with a weak signal, but how do you pass on a game this intense?

Bears 27 – Texans 23
