The Chargers were seeing better than 82% of the action overnight Saturday against the visiting Bears yet books continue to move the line between 8.5 and 9 and back down to 8.5.  As of Sunday morning, 80% of those betting this game on the spread were backing LA.  A number of books were back up to 9 (BetOnline, Bookmaker).  Others opted to stay on the 8.5, for now (DraftKings, Circa, Bovada, Americas Bookie).

Something Not Quite Right

There is no way any book should be moving this number down dangling the 8.5 when we've already had them on the 9 for long stretches.  This is a Sunday night game.  Despite both teams disappointing records, a Sunday Night Football game is going to attract plenty of action.  Circa hasn't moved off the 8.5 all week.  Pinnacle was on the 8.  Sagarin is giving us a number of Chargers 7.88.  One of the top NFL cappers this season, Bobby Babowski, is backing the Chargers here. As this was going to press, most of the books moved to the 9.5. Scroll Down for More

The Bobby B Factor

In the NFL over the past 14 days, Bobby Babowski has led the pack with a 7-2 record.  He's 13-6 over the last 30 days and 25-12 for the season thus far, ranking No. 1 of all G911 Sports Hub cappers.  

Bobby offer a “plethora of knowledge” Ultimate capper provides the user with a lot of information, facts, and speculation in the world of sports betting.  

The question of the hour is Do we bet against Bobby B this evening?

Things to Consider

That Sagarin 7.88 we feel compelled to believe may be accurate. 

The Chargers blowing out the Bears seems highly unlikely as LA has won by no more than a touchdown in their two victories.

Chicago's last two losses were by no more than six points.

The Bears have won two of their last three games.

Is Tyson Bagent for real?  He's the new starting quarterback for the Bears and is coming off an impressive win last week against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Bears defense will be without Jaquan Brisker and possibly Eddie Jackson.

The Chargers do have a pourous defense.
