Welcome to the new and improved Betting with Bearman. I hope you enjoyed the new look and the new platform for the relaunch, which includes a website, so make sure to bookmark www.bearmanbets.com.

What a rollercoaster of a betting weekend. Some weekends seem easy, some seem hard, and others are paid wild rides like this last week. We had some really good wins (Chargers team total under 19.5 for best bet), and we had some no-show losses (Baker Mayfield completions), and a no-sweat turn into a sweat and survive (Minnesota-Indiana OT). We had a bad storm and even an injury-related prop mixed in.

We took a slight loss in CFB but can still clinch a winning NFL weekend with a win tonight. And if you tailed our Golden State Valkyries futures ticker, you cashed at +450 with us.

For the season, we are up 32.02 units in CFB/NFL in this newsletter.

Two teams with Super Bowl aspirations meet in Seattle tonight to close out Week 8. Both the Bears and Seahawks made big trades this past week to get to the front of the NFC race. We will also hit on some NBA and look at the start of College Basketball season.

Big news: Fox Sports Chris "The Bear" Fallics will join me on the Betting with Bearman podcast on Tuesday to break down the best CFB slate we've seen in years.

Chicago Bears at Seattle Seahawks (-3, 46.5) - Monday Night

  • This will be a fascinating matchup of two teams both making moves at the right time.
  • Seattle is off its decisive win over the Chiefs last week, while Chicago beat the Patriots on TNF at the beginning of Week 7.
  • It'll be strength on strength as the Bears enter with the third-best offense and top rushing offense in the league, going up against a Seattle defense that is tops in total defense and pass defense.
  • The Bears are one of four teams in the top 10 of offensive scoring and defensive scoring (Jaguars, 49ers, Bengals)
