“The Bears are who we thought they were, and that’s why we took the damn field, and we let’em off the hook!” – Denny Green (I’ll never forget that quote)
Some games are really sad, like how the Bears lost to Cleveland last Sunday. The Bears were winning 17-7 going into the fourth quarter, but the Browns scored 13 points in a row to win 20-17. (And how about that final play!?) Crazy.
The Cardinals, well, they were the Cardinals on Sunday. They got stomped by the NFC West leading 49ers. Purdy got to play on his childhood dream field, and he put the boots to the Cards. Purdy grew up 45 miles from the stadium.
I’m unsure about Murray. He threw 26 out of 39 passes, gaining 211 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. The Cardinals have won 2 out of 3 games since he came back from a knee injury last month. But they weren’t good in this one.
The Cardinals and Bears did not have any head-to-head matchups last season.
The Bears and Cardinals have faced off 92 times. The Chicago Bears came out on top 57 times, while the Arizona Cardinals clinched victory 29 times. They also tied in 6 games.

4* Free Week 16 NFL Betting Prediction: Arizona +4.5
For this matchup, I’m liking Arizona to cover as 4.5-point underdogs. Arizona is coming off a game in which they ran the ball well vs. San Francisco and should do so once again.
The Bears ended their 2-game winning streak, and they’ll start a new one this week, but NOT ATS. This Murray vs. Fields matchup should at least be somewhat entertaining. I’d look to get down on some QB rushing props as they try to outdo each other scrambling for 1st downs.
Before kickoff I’ll be taking Arizona on the spread.
If you’re looking for a pick on the over/under, the data we have suggests this game finishing below 44 points.
For this game, my money is on the under.
