New York Jets at Chicago Bears 2010 NFL Predictions, Odds, and Picks Week 16: Head football coach Rex Ryan will lead the New York Jets to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears on Sunday at 1:00 PM ET on CBS Sports. Both teams enter the game at 10-4 but the Bears have already clinched the NFC North while the Jets are in 2nd in the AFC East and need a win to get a wildcard berth to the playoffs. Coach Ryan has had to deal with off the field issues as Deadspin.com aired some “foot fetish” videos of his wife where one of them appeared to be Rex narrating and filming. “I understand I’m going to get asked this question frontways, sideways, backways, and all this, but it is a personal matter,” Ryan said. “Foot fetish? Whatever,” Cornerback Darrelle Revis said. “I mean, that’s his wife. At the end of the day, that’s his wife and he can do whatever he wants with his wife. It’s not like he’s out committing adultery or anything negative.” “We’re going to be ready to play Chicago,” Ryan said. “I am ready. This is my job and I’m focused on the job at hand.” Or foot? The odds makers at SGB Global have the Chicago Bears -2 ½ point favorites at home against the New York Jets.
The Jets are coming off a victory 22-17 on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers moving them to 8-6 ATS for the season. Quarterback Mark Sanchez completed 19 of 29 passes for 170 yards and also rushing 3 times for 15 yards and a touchdown. Sanchez appeared to be injured and was questionable but threw better on Friday and appears to be good to go. “Today, I don’t think there was any question that he was out to say, ‘Hey look, I’m fine,'” Ryan said Friday. “He was. He threw it good. He never grimaced or anything else. He’s feeling good. He really feels good right now.” Vegas odds makers have the New York Jets as +1900 odds to win the 2011 Super Bowl.
The Bears are coming off a victory 40-14 over the Minnesota Vikings on the road to move to 7-6-1 ATS for the season. Quarterback Jay Cutler completed 14 of 24 passes for 194 yards 3 touchdowns and a pick in the freezing cold and snow. The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Chicago’s last 5 games when playing NY Jets. Vegas odds makers have the over/under for the total score at 35 points combined of the New York Jets and Chicago Bears.
I predict a JETS victory on the road!
