Chicago Bears vs Arizona Cardinals Prediction 

Chicago comes into this matchup after the heartbreaking loss against Washington on the last play of the game last week, and they will be back on the road for this matchup. The Chicago offense really struggled last week, which was surprising after they looked so good before the bye week. Arizona has won two games in a row by a combined three points, and they have won three of their last four. The Cardinals are starting to heat up and should have the advantage in this game, as Chicago is 0-3 on the road. I think we are going to see a higher scoring game in this matchup and I expect the Bears offense to bounce back, so take the over here.
