Points will be at a premium as Rams tangle with Bears on SNF

The Bears and Rams will do battle at the L.A. Coliseum on Sunday night in a contest that could go a long way in shaping the NFC playoff picture. Both clubs are mired in somewhat of a funk, with Chicago only just snapping a four-game losing streak while L.A. has dropped four of their last six contests. It’s hard to have faith in either offense right now, so the Under seems to be the way to go.

Trubisky has been abysmal in 2019

Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has been awful under center since returning from injury four games ago, averaging barely over 200 passing yards per tilt while completing a modest 62.4% of his throws.

Chicago’s ground game, led by rookie David Montgomery and Tarik Cohen, is a shell of what it’s been in years past, ranking 28th in yards per game. It’s hard to imagine the Bears moving the chains efficiently with an offensive line that’s surrendered the 10th-most sacks in the NFL facing off against Aaron Donald and L.A.’s ferocious pass rush.

L.A.'s offense has sputtered

The Rams’ offense has been lackluster throughout most of 2019, with a 12-point effort in Pittsburgh being just the latest disappointment for Jared Goff and company. L.A. managed a mere six points when they squared off with Khalil Mack and the rest of Chicago’s stoppers on Sunday Night Football last December. The Bears’ defense has kept their team above water this year as they’re third in yards allowed per play. The Rams’ O-line is in shambles heading into Week 11, with center Brian Allen lost for the year with an MCL tear while right tackle Rob Havenstein (meniscus) has been ruled out for at least this game.

Trends bettors should note that the Under has cashed in 11 of the Bears’ last 14 games, while the Rams have gone below the total in four of their last five home games.
