IT'S a clash of two struggling sides in the NFL Monday night action as San Diego Chargers host Chicago Bears.
Chargers are 2-6 for the season after a run of four defeats on the bounce and have also lost top receiver Keenan Allen to injury for the rest of the campaign.
Inline image
Bears aren't in much better shape with an injury-hit squad and just two wins in seven outings.
They're 15-8 outsiders at Skybet while the Chargers are 4-9 at Totesport and the any time touchdown scorer betting is topped by Chargers tight end Antonio Gates – 5-6 at Paddy Power – followed by Bears running-back Jeremy Langford (evens, Paddy Power).
Elsewhere today there's international cricket – Bangladesh hosting Zimbabwe in an ODI and Sri Lanka taking on West Indies in a Twenty20 tussle – plus plenty of NBA and NHL action.

    Monday Night Football

    Chicago Bears @ San Diego Chargers

    Both teams will be playing tonight knowing that even a win won’t give them much of a lift for the rest of the season. The 2-5 Bears come to the 2-6 Chargers for a cross conference match up which will have little to no butterfly effect across the league. The only plus you could essentially pick out here is the loser might end up with a better draft pick come the end of the season.

    Speaking of draft picks, we have two 1st round picks who are yet to take off their NFL careers as such. Chicago’ Kevin White is yet to play a snap after receiving surgery when picking up a shin injury in pre season. Melvin Gordon was one of the top two running backs in the draft (supposedly) but his time with the Chargers so far hasn’t lifted off quite so well as the Rams Todd Gurley. You can cut him some slack as the Rams will run the ball for the majority of the game, but when you have Phillip Rivers at QB, he’s always going to want to throw the ball for San Diego before handing it off.

    Gordon hasn’t put up huge number this year, but you wouldn’t expect him to. With the Chargers being behind during most of their games, Gordon is always likely to see less touches. Even in the Chargers two wins he hasn’t had much production, but I’d put that down to the margins of victories being so small. In their two victories, one was a field goal as time expired against the Cleveland Browns, and the other was a 5 point margin of victory in week 1 against the Lions, who are perhaps worse than both teams playing tonight.

    For the first time in his career, Gordon had 18 carries for 54 yards in their loss in Baltimore last week. The Ravens are one of the better teams against the run this year but its the passing game they struggle. The Bears are giving up a league 6th worst 4.7 yards per carry, with a 5th worst 128 yards per game. Offensive Coordinator Frank Reich spoke earlier last week about Gordon.

    “So many times in the running game it’s just getting to enough runs where your guy can break loose for two or three,” Reich said. “And we’ve seen that Melvin has that incredible ability. He’s had a number of 20-plus runs. So we’ve just got to keep feeding him the ball.”

    Gordon ranks in the top 10 of 20+ yard runs with 5. I think if he can reduce the number of negative plays and find a few holes, he could get this total or close to it in one run against a favourable match up in the Bears.

    Melvin Gordon (Chargers) Over 50.5 Rushing Yards @ 10/11 @ WillHill – 2.2 points (48.5 @ 5/6 @ PP is available)

    Dan it can be cruel at times mate. Just when you think you’re back in it, a turnover happens.

  7. oriaz 8 years ago

    Hey guys! Site looks great!

    Not a great night yesterday on the NFL/NBA. Worst timing for a turnover by Peuton and shocking 4th quarter by the blazers. Not great for our bets very entertaining to watch.

    Confidence is coming back for my NBA picks (my selections have been good since last friday). Still gonna keep posting selections and no tips for now.

    Tonight I like the Clippers -6 at home against the Grizzlies.

    Lets kick off the new site with a winner..

    Bulls @ 76er’s

    76er’s +5 – 1st Half Spread @ 1.90 – 1 point.

    76’ers are still looking for their first win, and I don’t think that’s going to come tonight. But I am expecting them to at least stick with Bulls for the first half in front of a home crowd.

  14. lee cunliffe 8 years ago

    Nfl Monday, could be in for a shoot out tonight so am going for td scorers. Reckon a 4 pt start for Chicago is good shout could see a 31-28 final score and with that am doing 2 Anytime scorers

    Alshon Jeffrey 5/4 should be main target for cutler tonight

    Bit of a long shot with the San Diego scorer am taking Dontrelle inman 3/1
    Looking at the injuries San Diego got Un secondary rivers will have spread the love tonight against a shocking Chicago secondary so hopefully big price could come in tonight.

    Just in case you didn’t know. I’ve already made topics for the NFL and NBA in the US Sports section here https://mrfixitstips.co.uk/forums/forums/sports-betting/us-sports/. If you’d like to have a browse you’ll see you can make it a bit more personal with the images. Even add your own topics yourself if you wish.

    You’ll see my bet above is also posted in the NFL Week 9 section. Which has now been stretched out to 52.5 yards @ William Hill might I add.

    • aj 8 years ago

      @Jordan – Posted my NBA bets in the relevant forum, also mentioned a prop bet on Andre Drummond if you, Huggy, Hunter or any of the other basketball fans have an opinion.

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      @aj without looking at it I’m guessing its his rebounds? Very nearly posted it myself mate but I thought 16 might have been a bit too much.

    • aj 8 years ago

      @Jordan yeah its his rebounds, only achieved less that 16 once this season but the Warriors will be a tougher opponent than most. It’s definitely a market to keep an eye on when the Pistons play.

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      If anything if has more of a chance as the Warriors are such a high 3 point shooting team he should get his defensive rebounds, but his offensive rebounds might not be as high. Just the Gordon yards for me tonight. Good luck lads.

  19. ayeright 8 years ago

    1st things 1st congrats Mr and the rest of the team for the wonderful site.
    I’m siding with the chargers lads.I think they will cover their minus 4 handicap. I also think they will lead half time and full time.In addition I believe spurs will devastate the Kings from the outset.

    Predictions :
    Spurs half time and full time 0.571
    Chargers -4 = 0.909
    Double=2/1

    • Mr Fixit 8 years ago

      James Bond, cheers. Hopefully it’s sorted out.
      Great response so far despite the problems.

    Congrats MrF and the team with the nice new website. very impressed.
    Monday night Football
    Bears @ Chargers
    Im backing the chargers -6.5pts @ 6-4.
    I reckon san diego could win this easily by double digits but playing it a little cautious!!!
    Goodluck

  27. winnerallright 8 years ago

    Also gonna back Antonio Gates to catch over 65.5yrds too. If he stays healthy for whole game im pretty confident he should be in for a good night. Without K.Allen, Gates will get more looks…… Cmon the Chargers!!!!!

  28. ayeright 8 years ago

    Tyler it is however the lads love winding me up for it.Mum has a sense of humour.

  29. ayeright 8 years ago

    Hawks plus 20.5 points is evens.Worth a fiver from my uneducated perspective.

  30. ayeright 8 years ago

    Chargers might have squandered their opportunities and in turn the whole match.Poor :(.

  31. Jordan 8 years ago

    The poor NFL run continues for me. Gordon held for 31 yards with his two longest runs of the night both going back for holding calls. Starting to get a bit bored of these losses. Need to turn it around and hopefully I’ll have the bets for it this weekend.

    Melvin Gordon (Chargers) Over 50.5 Rushing Yards @ 10/11 @ WillHill – 2.2 points (48.5 @ 5/6 @ PP is available) **LOSE**

  32. ayeright 8 years ago

    If anyone watched the game the chargers deserve to lose but us punters didn’t for their complacency.

  33. Scott Allot 8 years ago

    I’m on a darts treble tonight – Van Gerwen, Wright and Chizzy all to win. Boosted from evens to 2-1 on new Paddy Power app
