If there's one thing we learned Halloween night _ other than realizing that eating two pounds of candy is never a good idea _ it's that you have to treat every NFL game as its own entity. That Vikings-Bears game is the perfect example of how a far superior team can lose on any given Sunday, or in that case, Monday. It all depends on the situation. The Bears, having had more than a week to prepare and at home, were also getting Jay Cutler back. The Vikings were the pick here, but hours before that game, the feeling was that the Bears would most likely cover and maybe even pull off an October surprise.
Moral of the story: Don't just take a team because it's better. There's so much more that goes into picking NFL games against the spread.
Favorites went 7-4-1 last week, but the underdogs are still ruling this season with a 62-51-5 record. Underdogs could be in store for another big week.
