The Bears stopped the bleeding, temporarily at least and now go out to face a Rams team that is also sitting in 3rd place in a tough division. Chicago is a 6.5 point road dog, only the 2nd time this season I can remember them entering as underdogs. Considering how ridiculously overpriced the Bears have been all season, and their 3-6 record ATS, one would think this will be a laugher in favor of the home team. But the Rams aren't juggernauting much at all this year. Los Angeles has scored ~60 more points this season than the Bears while giving up 30 fewer. They are a stoppable offense, although they have only scored less than 14 twice this year, and have gone over 30 3 times (losing one of those). If one had any remaining hopes of the Bears contending this season, that person may talk themselves into a repeat of last year's smack down in Chicago. But the defense has not looked capable of repeating that effort at any point this year, especially not with Hicks and now Trevathan sidelined. Mack will have to carry the load if they were to get this done. I'm thinking the offense will probably go three and out the first five or six possessions, giving the defense plenty of opportunity to score themselves, and in the end maybe score 12 points. We shall see.
