Chicago -3 over L.A. Rams

1:00 PM EST. The 1-2 Rams faced their toughest opponent of the year last Sunday and did so without any wide receivers and walked away a winner over the 49ers. That resonates in a fickle market. In Week 1, the Rams took the Lions in Detroit to OT before losing. In between those two games, the Rams were destroyed by Arizona. The Rams have had two good showings in three weeks and could easily be 2-1. Point is, their stock is up this week.

The 1-2 Bears have zero good showing. That, too, resonates. The Bears lost to the Colts last week, they lost to Houston the week prior and in Week 1, Chicago beat Tennessee 24-17 in what has to be considered the most undeserving win of the year this far. The Bears had 64 yards passing the entire game against the Titans and they didn’t have much more on the ground. The Bears were completely dominated and won. The Bears have looked horrible. Last week’s loss to the Colts was packed with miserable quarterbacking and sketchy coaching decisions by the losing side. Point is, Chicago’s stock is down, especially after Colts QB Anthony Richardson tried to gift wrap the game to the Bears, not once, twice or three times but a bunch of times. The Bears should be an ugly 0-3.

Catching a FG against a team that looks awful certainly looks appealing but oddsmakers don’t see it that way one bit. Already without his top two receivers in Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, Matthew Stafford looks lost most of the time while the Bears have an abundance of tools in the tool chest but have not figured out how to operate their offense. This line strongly suggests the Bears wake up this week.

Most people are familiar with the term "It Team" heading into the start of the season, right? The teams that are generating buzz. The teams that analysts are picking to make a surprising run. This year’s “It” teams were Houston, Chicago and Jacksonville. All three have looked rancid and now that the market is sick of those aforementioned three teams and are jumping off, it just might be the right time to jump on. We’ll put that to the test here.
