Bears Beat Rams but Fail to Cover
The Chicago Bears had a 17–9 victory over the St Louis Rams but it’s not really anything to roar about. Defeating the Rams isn’t a great accomplishment considering they are one of the NFL’s worst teams. The Bears disappointed many LinesMaker bettors however, as they failed to cover the 9.5 point spread with nearly 60% of the betting action on them to cover.
Quarterback Jay Cutler proved he still could hit a long pass, connecting with Devin Hester for a 48-yard completion, and Earl Bennett for a season-high 71-yarder.
With linebacker Lance Briggs sidelined, fill-in Jamar Williams had 18 tackles to lead the defense. Williams may have shown he has bigger role in the future with Chicago, which has no first– or second-round picks in the upcoming draft.
The Bears did get the win but now they need to pull out another one at home against Green Bay (7–4) next week. Their play will need to improve, however, as you can bet the Packers will be a tougher challenge than the Rams.
