NFL futures, odds: Bettors hate the Chicago Bears this season
Time and time again, the Chicago Bears are disrespected in the betting market. It's pretty simple, no one wants to bet on the Bears. Well, this is again the case prior to the 2022 season.
Indeed, as we speak, at BetMGM, 77% of bets and 85% of the money is on Chicago to go under 6.5 wins. The Bears to go under 6.5 wins opened at +115 but with all of the action, the under is now a heavy -190 favorite.
In addition to that, 60% of bets and an impressive 98% of the money is backing Chicago to miss the postseason. If the case you would want to fade the public, the Bears to sneak into the playoffs pays out at +600. Pretty solid odds considering they have one of the 3 easiest schedules in the NFL...
Finally, the Bears are +350 to occupy one of the top 2 spots in the division, ahead of two Green Bay, Minnesota, and Detroit. Bettors aren't wasting their money with Chicago here, since just over 5% of bets are currently backing the Bears to win the NFC North. That's the lowest number in the division by a big margin.
