The NFL landscape can be a confusing place, especially when the subject is handicapping. Oddsmakers are sharp, doing an excellent job of finding the proper point spread so money is divided equally between the two teams that are scheduled to do battle.
But observant handicappers know that there are occasions when it looks like the point spread is off.
Mistakes happen, and a smart payer can find a vulnerable line every so often. This may be the case when the New England Patriots go to Chicago to take on the Bears on Sunday.
The Patriots are three-point road favorites, according to OddsShark, and based on the way the two teams played in the first three weeks of the season, that line would have some validity.
