Bears Continue to Struggle

The Bears won the first game of the season against the Tennessee Titans, but they have lost two games in a row since then. Two games ago against the Houston Texans they lost 19-13 and in the last game against the Indianapolis Colts they were defeated 21-16. The Bears outscored the Colts 13-7 in the 4th quarter but it wasn’t enough as the offense only scored three points in the other three quarters. The defense actually was pretty good and they picked off Anthony Richardson twice. Caleb Williams completed 33 of his 52 passes for 363 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. D’Andre Swift rushed the ball 13 times for 20 yards and maybe the team should turn to someone else. Roschon Johnson rushed eight times for 30 yards. 

The Bears on the season are averaging 17.7 points while their defense is giving up 19 points per game. The offense is ranked 22nd in the league while the pitching is ranked 10th. The Bears' defense early in games has been fine, just as the games have gone on, they have started to struggle more. 

What a Win for the Rams

The Rams looked like they were one quarter away from moving to 0-3, but in the 4th quarter, they outscored the San Francisco 49ers 13-3. The Rams ended up winning 27-24 and now they are going to look to go on a a run. Matthew Stafford completed 16 of his 25 passes for 221 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. Kyren Williams finished with 24 carries for 89 yards and two touchdowns. The top wide receiver was Tutu Atwell and he finished with four catches for 93 yards. 

The Rams are averaging 19 points while their defense is giving up 30.3 points per game. The offense is ranked 20th in the league while the defense is ranked 31st. One problem for this Rams team is they are dealing with all kinds of injury issues. Cooper Kupp is dealing with an ankle injury and he’s already been ruled out for this game.

LA Rams vs Chicago Bears Prediction

I am not really sold on the Rams but I am also not sold on the Bears, and I am not willing to lay point with the favorites. Matthew Stafford had a huge game in the last game against the 49ers and he’s going to find success again here. Caleb Williams is going to have some turnover issues again here, and that will be the difference as the Rams are going to get the job done here. Back the Rams against the spread here.
