The Chicago Bears continue to find ways to win this season. They got the best of a surging Carolina Panthers team in a 23-16 win. Perhaps for the first time this season, the Bears looked like the superior team. Even if they didn’t play like it on offense.
The Bears continue to surprise everyone with their success. While many will be quick to point out Chicago hasn’t beaten any good teams, they can only play the teams on their schedule. And while it’s been far from pretty, the Bears have done a good job pulling out wins.
But Vegas still isn’t buying into the Bears, which is just fine for them because Chicago seems to thrive as the underdog. The Bears have opened as 6-point road underdogs against the Rams, according to BetMGM.
This is the sixth time this season that the Bears have been underdogs. The only game they were favored in was a home game against the New York Giants in Week 2.
The Bears will be facing a Rams squad that’s coming off a disappointing divisional loss to the Arizona Cardinals. But Los Angeles does boast a dominant defense, much like the Bears, and an offense that has its share of playmakers.
We’ll see if the Bears can improve to 6-0 in the NFC in their most important game of the season. A game that could have playoff implications down the line.
