Bears -2
Saints O is stronger than Bears, however, Bears D is better (granted they have struggled lately, they do not give up the big play the Saints D does) than Saints. As always, I will take D over O everytime. Plus, weather will not be a factor. Local weather is calling for 1-3", however, flurries in the 2H.
