Week 16 NFL picks: Bears vs. Cardinals

Experts weigh in on who will win the Week 16 clash between the Bears and Cardinals.

The Chicago Bears should have little trouble with the struggling Arizona Cardinals this Sunday, according to a majority of NFL experts.

The Bears (8-6) fell out of the NFC playoff picture with their 21-3 loss to the Green Bay Packers last Sunday, while the the Cardinals (5-9) snapped a nine-game skid with a 38-10 win over the Detroit Lions.

ESPN’s stable of NFL experts pick the Bears across the board, as do the prognosticators at Yahoo! Sports.

Eight of the nine NFL experts at CBS Sports think that the Bears will walk away with a victory on Sunday. NFL scribe Dave Richard is the lone member of CBS’ football staff who believes that the Cardinals have a legitimate shot at pulling off an upset on their home turf.

The Bears are a 5.5-point favorite at most sportsbooks, according to Oddsshark.com.

Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET at University of Phoenix Stadium, and the game will be televised on FOX.
