Prediction
Bears 20, Rams 17
Moneyline (?)
The Rams simply aren’t good enough to warrant a bet here. They’ve been the better team this season, but they don’t instill much confidence at this point – especially against a good defense like Chicago’s.
Take the BEARS (+220) to win straight up on the road. The Rams are only 1-2 at the Coliseum this season, losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers. They don’t have much of a home-field advantage besides the weather.
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Bears to win would return a profit of $22.
Against the Spread (?)
The Rams enter as 6.5-point favorites but that’s not indicative of the gap between them and the Bears. Chicago has a good chance to win this one outright, which makes this an easy decision.
Take the BEARS (-110) and the 6.5 points. With the way these offenses are playing, it should be a relatively close (and low-scoring) game.
Over/Under (?)
The projected total is only 41.5 points, which is telling of how bad these offenses have been lately. Their defenses are also among the best in football. The total has gone Under in each of the Rams’ last four games, and in each of the Bears’ last three.
Take the UNDER (-134) because it’s hard to imagine either team lighting up the scoreboard in prime time.
