Bears Favored Over Giants In Championship Showdown
The Chicago Bears were listed as three point favorites against the New York Giants for the NFL title game. Giants coach Jim Lee Howell said his team is fit and ready as Chicago relies on a strong ground game. Howe noted Bears passers Wit and Brown, but the Bears remain primarily a rushing team. The Bears arrived in New York and will practice at Yankee Stadium amid limited ticket availability. The regular season produced a 17 17 tie after a late Giants rally. The game will be televised with a blackout in New York City and nearby areas.
