Los Angeles Rams at Chicago Bears
When: Sunday, December 9, 8:20 p.m. ET
Where: Soldier Field, Chicago, Illinois
Betting Line / Total: Los Angeles -3 / 51.5 Points
Los Angeles Rams
On a day in which the Rams’ high-powered offense did not have its best stuff scoring only 16 points through the first three quarters of the game, Aaron Donald and the defense held Los Angeles in the game against the Detroit Lions.
In the end, the Rams escaped with a 30-16 victory, improving to 11-1 SU and 5-5-2 ATS on the season. If the Rams get their defense playing up to its potential before the playoffs begin there may be no stopping this team.
Since starting the season off with a 3-0 ATS run, the Rams are a paltry 2-5-2 ATS over their last nine games per the OddsShark NFL Database.
Chicago Bears
Perhaps getting caught looking ahead to this big primetime showdown against the Rams, the Bears dropped a game to the New York Giants as 3.5-point road favorites 30-27 in overtime last Sunday. That loss snapped a 5-0 SU and ATS run Chicago had been on over its previous five games.
The Bears have looked great through the first three quarters of the season with an 8-4 SU and ATS record, but a signature win over a team like the Rams could elevate Chicago into the contender stratosphere.
Sunday night’s total is set at 51.5 points. The OVER is 4-1 in Chicago’s last five games at home.
After this game, the Rams wrap up their regular season with a home game against the 6-6 SU Philadelphia Eagles, a road game against the 3-9 SU Arizona Cardinals and a home game against the 2-10 SU San Francisco 49ers. The path to the No. 1 seed in the NFC and the home field that comes with it gets a whole lot clearer if Los Angeles can survive this big road hurdle.
