The Chicago Bears just clinched the NFC North with a home win over the rival Packers, 24-17. There was plenty of celebrating as they haven't been to the playoffs since 2010. After clinching the title, now they fly to the West Coast. Chicago has injuries in the secondary, losing key slot corner Bryce Callahan (broken foot) and they are without Eddie Jackson (ankle injury). Chicago is a .500 team on the road, losing as a three-point favorite at the Giants, 30-27, squeezing by at Arizona (16-14) as -5.5 chalk, and losing at Miami as a TD-favorite, 31-28. NFL road teams that have covered five of six of the last seven games and have won 60% to 75% of their games are 45-82 ATS when facing a team with a losing record. San Francisco has a winning home record and is playing well, beating the Broncos (20-14) and Seahawks (26-23) the last two games. They were an underdog each time and this is their third straight home game. QB Nick Mullens (1,754 yards, 10 TDs, 6 picks) has been sharp along with star TE George Kittle (1,154 yards). Chicago is 23-42 ATS against teams averaging six yards per play or more, making this is a great situational spot for the home dog. Take San Francisco.
