Tennessee Titans home betting favorites vs. Chicago Bears in Week 9

The Tennessee Titans are the betting favorites in their Week 9 home game with the Chicago Bears.

The Tennessee Titans (5-2) host the Chicago Bears (5-3) in their Week 9 matchup Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.  Below, we look at the early betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Bears had their 10-point, fourth-quarter comeback spoiled by the New Orleans Saints in a 26-23 overtime loss in Week 8. QB Nick Foles guided Chicago into field-goal territory where PK Cairo Santos hit a 51-yard field goal to tie the game with 13 seconds left in regulation. Both teams traded possessions in overtime, but Saints’ K Wil Lutz made a 35-year field goal to win the game.

Chicago’s betting records

  • Against the spread: 5-3 ATS
  • Over/Under: 3-5 O/U

After starting the season 5-0, the Titans lost its second straight game, this time to the Cincinnati Bengals 31-20 in Week 8. Tennessee’s defense couldn’t get the Bengals off the field—Cincinnati converted 10-of-15 third downs and held onto the ball for 35:57. Also, Titans QB Ryan Tannehill was held in check: 18-30 for 233 passing yards with one touchdown and one interception.

Tennessee’s betting records

  • Against the spread: 2-5 ATS
  • Over/Under: 5-1-1 O/U

Saints at Bears: Odds, prediction, betting lines and picks

Prediction

Saints 27, Bears 17

Money line (?)

The Saints are favored in this game despite being on the road. As close as their recent wins have been, they’ve been more impressive than the Bears. Take the SAINTS (-239) to win outright.

Against the spread (?)

The Saints have not been very good at covering the spread this season, doing so in just two of their six games. The Bears have been much better, but it’s hard to feel good about Chicago keeping this one close enough to cover. Take the SAINTS (-5.5) to win by at least six points.

Over/Under (?)

The Over/Under is only 42.5, likely in part because Chicago’s defense has been stout through the first seven weeks. The Saints have struggled against the pass, but Chicago will have trouble running the ball and QB Nick Foles hasn’t exactly looked sharp throwing it. The total will come UNDER (42.5) in this tilt.

Bears at Rams game notes

  • The Bears and Rams both rank in the top seven defensively, allowing 19.3 and 19.0 points per game, respectively.
  • The Bears are 4-2 ATS this season, while the Rams are only 3-3, including 1-3 in their last four games.
  • Each team has one win in their last two head-to-head meetings. The total score barely favors the Rams, who have outscored the Bears 23-22 in those games.
  • The total has gone Under in four of the Bears’ last five games and in four of the Rams’ six games this season.
  • The Bears are 3-0 straight up and ATS on the road this season, with the Rams 2-0 at home.

Bears at Rams key injuries

Bears

  • DT Akiem Hicks (illness) questionable
  • CB Buster Skrine (ankle) questionable
  • S Eddie Jackson (shoulder) probable

Rams

  • TE Tyler Higbee (hand) probable
  • RB Darrell Henderson Jr. (thigh) probable

Bears at Rams: Odds, prediction, betting lines, picks and prediction

Prediction

Rams 24, Bears 20

Money line (?)

It’s hard to say either of these teams have looked especially dominant, with all of the Rams’ wins coming against the NFC East and the Bears’ first three wins being against the Detroit Lions, New York Giants and Atlanta Falcons – all four-point victories, too.

The Rams have more talent across the board and boast an offense that can move the ball more consistently. I’ll take the RAMS (-250) to win outright at home, finding a way to overcome Chicago’s stingy defense.

Against the spread (?)

The Rams are favored by six points over the Bears despite being one game back in the NFC standings. Los Angeles has struggled to cover the spread this season, and that’ll continue this week. The Bears will keep the game just close enough, as they typically do, and cover the 6-point spread. Take the BEARS +6 (-110).

Over/Under (?)

The total has been trending Under for the Rams and Bears this season, and even with a lower projected total for Week 7, they’ll come up short again. Both defenses are playing really well right now, even after the Rams’ shaky start against the San Francisco 49ers last week.

If past meetings are any indication, this will be a fairly low-scoring affair. Take the UNDER 45 (-110).
