The Coach's MNF **GRIDIRON GUNSLINGER**
(NFL) New Orleans vs. Chicago,
Money Line: -145.00 New Orleans (Away)
Result: Win
The New Orleans Saints are coming off a shocking home loss to Carolina, but all is not lost for Drew Brees and the gang. A win in Chicago tonight would put the Saints in first place in the woeful NFC South. The Bears are not so fortunate, and this is a team that is likely going to be facing a lot of changes in the off-season.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Bears have more wins on the road this year than they do at home. The Saints aren't exactly known to play well on the road, but they beat the Bears in Chicago last year, and they are coming off an impressive win at Pittsburgh in their last road game.

2. Injuries - The Bears are a banged up group on both sides of the ball, but the loss of wide receiver Brandon Marshall is a big blow to this offense.

3. X-Factor - The Bears are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following a double-digit loss at home.

Selection: This is a play on the New Orleans Saints (6*)
