RAMS-BEARS PICKS

Oddsmakers are expecting a close on on Sunday night in Chicago and Bleacher Report's NFL analysts agree. While the consensus pick from the group is L.A., Gary Davenport laid out why it may not be easy for the Rams in the Windy City.

"I understand the logic behind taking the home underdog smarting off last week's overtime loss to the Giants, especially if Mitchell Trubisky can get back in there at quarterback for the Bears," he said.

"But Trubisky's availability is by no means assured, and while the Bears are a great defensive team, they also just lost to the then-three-win G-Men.

The weather in Chicago might be worse than what the Rams are used to, but it won't be enough to keep a Rams team with its eye on the No. 1 seed from covering here."

Score Prediction: Los Angeles 30, Chicago 24
