Colts/Bears line move

This line was Indy -2.5 the other day. Now I see Bears -2.5. That's a pretty big move and I haven't seen or heard about anything to cause this. Am I missing something or is this just money driven?

it's equivalent of a ml move from -120ish to +120ish, so not really that big of a line move..

people are pounding the bears and they want action on Indy to even it out

WOW! You don't say?

I'm just going to take a wild shot in the dark here and say the OP wants to know WHY the Bears are being pounded. Just a guess.

I would hazard a guess that Indy does not have a good second string QB and the Bears will play their defense for at least the first half.

Colts preseason record is putrid past few years.

True, but this information was available when the line was set. Maybe it was just a mistake by the linesmakers.

I wouldn't bet against Indy so soon after the Super Bowl. They're probably still peaking...

I'm just going to blindly follow all these big line moves in the NFLX season. Value, schmalue, whoever is moving these lines seems to know what he's doing.
