The 2023-24 Mock Gambling Thread - WEEK 10 - Missing a week can't stop best3444!

[Slug]

With a good bet, being the only player to hit question 1, and hitting 2 of the 3 question 5 picks, it's best3444 jumping into the lead with the biggest margin of the season so far!  After climbing the ranks from behind all year long, will he be able to continue his momentum and increase his cushion or will he slip and let the rest of the pack catch up?

Bears by far.  Chicago got flagged 8 times while the Saints were only penalized once.  Da Bears is the call.
