Chicago at St. Louis

The Chicago Bears are a big dog against a conservative St. Louis Rams team. The Bears have QB Jay Cutler fresh off a Monday night game where his talented right arm delivered, throwing for 345 yards and a late TD for the win as a dog. The Bears are on a 4-1 ATS run, plus 4-1 ATS on the road. Chicago is also 23-7 OVER the total when following a win. This game is indoors, which will help their talented passing game, which is clicking since WR Ashlon Jeffrey returned, and TE Zack Miller, who caught the one-handed late TD Monday night. Chicago finished with a season-best 446 total yards Monday. WR Jeffery caught 10 passes for 151 yards, his third straight 100-yard game. St. Louis is coming off a demoralizing 21-18 overtime loss to the Minnesota Vikings. It was a critical road loss with possible playoff implications, and the Rams are 15-35-1 ATS after allowing fewer than 150 yards passing in their previous game. The Rams played Sunday's game in Minnesota without four starters -- defensive ends Chris Long (knee) and Robert Quinn (knee), safety T.J. McDonald (foot) and tackle Rob Havenstein (ankle). St. Louis is also 10-4 OVER the total in November. When these teams met two years ago it was a 42-21 shootout, way OVER the total, and the Bears are 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings. Play Chicago and the OVER.
