Rams at Bears 12/9/18 - NFL Picks & Predictions

Last Updated: 08/08/2019 at 6:14 AM ET

Division leaders will clash on Sunday night, when the Los Angeles Rams invade Soldier Field to face the Chicago Bears. The Rams have just one loss this season and lead New Orleans by one game for homefield advantage in the NFC Playoffs. On Sunday, Los Angeles scored 14 points in the fourth quarter to pull away for a 30-16 road victory at Detroit. Todd Gurley rushed for 132 yards and two touchdowns for the Rams.

Through twelve games, Los Angeles ranks second in total offense and scores at an impressive 34.9 point clip. Chicago is solid on the defensive side of the ball, ranking fourth in yards allowed and giving up 20.1 points per game.
Not much was expected of the Chicago Bears entering the season, but they are four games above .500 overall and lead Minnesota by 1.5 games for first place in the NFC North Division. On Sunday, Chicago miraculously forced overtime before falling against the New York Giants by a 30-27 final score. Anthony Miller caught a one-yard touchdown pass on the final play of regulation for the Bears, who turned the ball over three times in defeat.

For the season, Chicago ranks 20th in total offense and averages 28.7 points per game. The Rams counter with a defense that ranks 19th in yards allowed and is giving up 24.8 points on average.

Chicago QB Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) did not play in the loss against the Giants and will be questionable to play in this matchup. Matt Nagy has done a great job in his first year at the helm of the Bears and has brought excitement to the offense. However, Chicago’s defense will be the difference at home on Sunday night. Final Score Prediction, Chicago Bears win in upset but grab the points just in case 27-24.
