YoloinOhio Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 This line is jumping out at me: Rams -3 ? am I dumb for thinking the Bears win at home in the cold vs the Rams who appear pretty soft to me? Their D has looked meh anytime they play a competent offense. Low of 23 degrees, atmosphere at soldier field should be playoff-esque or is this a sucker bet

Laying the 3 is the "sucker" side but the suckers win 45% of the time.
BuffaloBillies Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Rams are 11-1, average 35 pts and 440 yards/game. Yes, middle of the pack on defense, but I wouldn't bet against that offense. I would probably stay away from that game.
Rc2catch Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 I gotta think that Gurley can carry the offense for a win in the cold. But Trubisky has those games similar to allen where he scrambles and runs like a madman and just makes it work

Those are gaudy stats but New Orleans looked unstoppable too before they went to Dallas. I guess i feel like they are due for an off night like the saints were and this looks about ripe. But you are probably right.

Rule of thumb when picking a game; Ask 10 random semi knowledgeable sports fans who'd they'd bet. If 7+ say they'd take a particular side, bet the opposite. 2
Chicken Boo Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 The Bears performance, for me, depends on how effectively they utilize Jordan Howard. 1

Happy Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 I picked the Rams in this game, though could see this as being a let down game for them; kind of like Dallas vs NO.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Im benching the Bears Defense this week in my fantasy football playoff game Not risking it
K-9 Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 I love the Bears at home on the national stage. Just have a feeling Mack and Co. are gonna go off. Love the Rams and their O, but this will be a tough environment for a team that has no way to prepare to play in those elements. 1
quinnearlysghost88 Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 If the Rams can score at a rate they always do, there's no way that Chicago offense is keeping up. Also, cold effects everyone, but obviously favors the D.
TDTT Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 I think the cold takes some of the air out of the offense. Bears win 23-17!

apuszczalowski Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 Toughest part for this game to me is that the Rams have clinched a playoff spot and more then likely a 1st round bye. I still think its early to rest starters, but if some one gets a little dinged up, do they continue to play like the probably would before clinching, or do they get taken out as a precaution? This game will be interesting to see a good defence against a good offence, I think the Rams defence is good enough to keep the Bears offence in check, but can the Bears defence do the same?
