Los Angeles Rams: Staff predictions for Rams-Bears

The Los Angeles Rams have yet another tough game as the team heads into Chicago in December to take on this terrorizing Bears defense.

Everyone loved the war between the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs a few weeks ago on Monday Night Football. 90 percent of football fans love to see a ton of offense and the two sides did just that, giving fans arguably the game of the year.

If that game is not the game of the year then it has to be the New York Giants overtime win over the Chicago Bears last week in which the Bears overcame the deficit to score a touchdown on the last play of regulation.

Both games were insane for different reasons and this game should be entertaining as well. While it might not be the offensive slugfest that we saw on Monday Night Football, this is going to be the ultimate test of the unstoppable force against the immovable object.

The Los Angeles Rams have a top-tier offense that is right up there with the Chiefs and New Orleans Saints. Meanwhile, the Bears have arguably the best defense in the league, especially when they are in Chicago in Bear weather.

This game is going to be a ton of fun to watch. Here is how the LA Sports Hub staff sees it shaking out.

Jamaal Artis (15-4): 20-14, Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams face another stiff test on Sunday night when they face the Chicago Bears defense on the road. The Rams will need to rely on Todd Gurley if the whipping winds negatively affect their passing game.

Lamarr Fields (14-7): 23-21, Los Angeles Rams

This is the game I have been wanting to see. The Rams offense against the Bears defense. I think the Rams will squeeze this game out by leaning a lot on Todd Gurley. Rams do not want to pass to much on the Bears defense with Khalil Mack coming off the edge.

Redan Lopez (14-5): 23-20, Los Angeles Rams

This is going to be an intense one. A high powered Rams’ offense against the elite Bears’ defense. The Rams are going to settle for a lot of field goals, finding it tough to convert in the red zone.

Quarterback Jared Goff will struggle to move the ball through the air throughout the night, forcing Running Back Todd Gurley to carry the ball over 30 times.

The Bears boast a mediocre offense. Even with starting Quarterback Mitch Trubisky back, there is no way they will outwork the Rams. I’m looking for the Rams to force turnovers and maintain possession of the football for 35 minutes.

It won’t be pretty, but the Rams will squeak out a victory to maintain first place in the NFC.

Jason Reed (19-3): 23-21, Chicago Bears

The only other time I picked against the Los Angeles Rams this season is when I picked the Los Angeles Chargers and New Orleans Saints. One of those picks panned out, one gave me one of my three losses.

This is a game that the Rams are going to lose. I really don’t see the team going 15-1 and instead they will drop one more game, this is the one.

The cold weather is going to have an impact on the offense and a returning Mitchell Trubisky helps things. The Bears have not looked great the last two weeks, which counterintuitively, gives me a reason to pick them this week.

It will be a close, hard-fought game. In the end, I have the Bears winning by a narrow margin.
