NFL Week 13: Rams vs Bears Predictions

NFL Online Betting – St. Louis Rams vs. Chicago Bears

Holy crap, I had no idea this game was even on the schedule. What a terrible matchup for both teams. The Chicago defense is getting torn to bits and pieces by injuries, and the Rams are just one of those teams that could explode at any given moment.

Admit it. You’re scared of that happening (just a little? C’mon!). The Rams are getting a comfortable spread, but travelling on the road against a somewhat talented Bears team should make you rightfully nervous. Let’s sort out this mess together.

First, the BetUS football betting trends. Whether you think the Rams are actually good or not doesn’t matter, because they’ve been killing the online betting oddsmakers lately. With a 4-2 ATS record in their last 6 overall, a 4-2 ATS record on the road and a staggering 1-20 SU record overall they’re kind of a team that’s piquing in the eyes of the betting crowd. Marc Bulger is out again this week with his knee bothering him, and while Kyle Boller isn’t much of an upgrade or downgrade, the larger concern for Chicago is Steven Jackson.

If you’ve had him in fantasy, then you know what he’s been up to. In the past five games he’s averaged 123.8 yards per game and has four touchdowns in four consecutive games. He’s a beast despite St. Louis’s losing record, and he’s outperforming everyone on the team by miles. [soliloquy id=”82219″]

To put this in perspective, he leads the team in catches too. The once stalwart defense of Chicago is ranked 26th against the run at home, giving up an ugly 130.2 yards per game, while their passing defense isn’t much better. If you have Jackson in fantasy, you’re loving this matchup to death.

NFL Online Betting Line: Chicago -9 (41)

What possible positives can I say about Chicago? They’re crumbling in the face of a four-game losing streak. Jay Cutler leads the league in interceptions, Matt Forte hasn’t breached the 100-yard rushing mark for seven straight games and the Bears’ receivers are a bunch of losers. Devin Hester should be returning kicks or bolstering the defense as a nickel cover. He’s simply not a receiver.

To make matters worse, Chicago is just 1-6 SU/ATS in their last 7 games overall. Against St. Louis they’re a brutal 2-4 SU, though they’re a flipped 4-2 ATS in those games. I just can’t trust Jay Cutler anymore, and I won’t until Chicago hits a homerun by landing a credible receiving threat. Think the Bears could’ve used Bernard Berrian with Cutler? I do.
