Gould, Bears rally past Lions

Football Betting Lines

12/24/2006 - Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Robbie Gould kicked four field goals, including three in the final quarter, as the Chicago Bears rallied for a 26-21 win over the Detroit Lions.

Rex Grossman completed 20-of-36 passes for 197 yards and was intercepted once for the NFC North Champion Bears (13-2), who have already clinched home-field advantage throughout the conference playoffs. Brian Griese relieved Grossman in the fourth quarter and engineered the go-ahead drive, finishing the game 6-of-9 for 51 yards.

The Bears, who won their fourth straight game, held on at the end when Detroit wide receiver Mike Williams couldn't come up with a catch in the end zone on the final play.

Jon Kitna connected on 27-of-45 passes for 283 yards with three TDs for the Lions (2-13), who have lost seven in a row, the longest skid since they dropped the final eight games of the 2002 campaign.

Gould's 36-yard field goal brought the Bears within 21-20 with 12:21 left in the game. The 13-play, 58-yard drive was kept alive by a third-down roughing- the-passer penalty on Cleveland Pinkney, who knocked into Grossman when the QB was out of bounds.

The Bears went ahead following a Detroit punt, as Griese engineered a 12-play, 72-yard jaunt, with Gould connecting from 39 yards away with 5:13 left for a 23-21 margin. Griese hit Mark Bradley with a key third-down pass.

Mark Anderson then sacked Kitna, causing a fumble and Adewale Ogunleye pounced on the ball at the Detroit 32 for the game's only turnover. Gould nailed a 44- yarder with 2:50 left.

Kitna led the Lions to the Chicago 22, but on the game's final play, his pass into the back of the end zone fell incomplete as a leaping Williams couldn't come up with the ball.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl

NFL Super Bowl Betting

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.

Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.

The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
