Chicago at Arizona

The Chicago Bears got hit with a successful Hail Mary pass play as time expired last week. It dropped them to 4-3 in the division, and in the rugged NFC North, that is only good enough for last place. The Bears defense has been one of the best in the league. None of their seven opponents have scored more than 21 total points, and six of them have scored just 19 or less. Arizona is 4-4, but that is misleading. The Cards have won three games by a total of four points. They could certainly be 1-6 right now. Arizona is 3-1 in their last four games but has been outscored by a total of 17 points, and for the season, their scoring margin is -21. In this one, I see value in the Bears, and I will make the play in Chicago.
