Bears at Chargers picks and predictions
Prediction
Chargers 28, Bears 20
Moneyline
PASS.
The Bears are led by a rookie who beat the Raiders, but the Chargers are going to be a different beast. At home, the favorite at -450 has no value. Ultimately, avoid a moneyline play.
Against the spread
BET BEARS +8.5 (-110).
The Chargers should win, but that’s not to say they will deserve the victory. Los Angeles is 0-2-1 ATS at home and lost to the Cowboys 20-17 and the Dolphins 36-34 along with a 24-17 win over the Raiders, who the Bears beat in Week 7.
The Bears are 1-1-1 ATS on the road over their last 3 away games and have held 3 straight opponents to 20 points or fewer. Their defense has come alive and should help keep this game close.
Take BEARS +8.5 (-110).
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 46.5 (-110).
The Bears are 6-1 O/U this season and have allowed 30-plus points in 3 games this season, scoring 30 or more in 2 of their last 3.
The Herbert-led Chargers have scored 24 or more in 4 of 6 games and are 2-4 O/U, but they did go Over 45.5 against the Titans, their lone game with a total under 47.
Back OVER 46.5 (-110).
