Rams vs Bears SNF best bets

Bears Bears +3.5

-105 at FanDuel

Jason Logan believes there's value in backing the Chicago Bears over the Los Angeles Rams tonight.

"I took Chicago earlier in the week as 4-point underdogs, which has been an undervalued key number in NFL betting. You’re still getting the hook with a home dog at +3.5. If you like the Rams, I would be more inclined to pay a little more on the moneyline than to lay -3.5."

Over 48.5

-112 at FanDuel

Logan is leaning toward the Over despite the chilly weather in Chi-Town. 

"This total opened as high as 50.5 points and plummeted with play on the Under, now sitting as short as 48.5. The weather will be very cold in Chicago, and Stafford’s hand injury is a bit of a mystery, but we have two QBs capable of pushing the ball downfield and two secondaries that will allow big plays. I’m leaning Over."

Rams vs Bears SNF TD picks

Bears Colston Loveland anytime TD

+200 at FanDuel

Sam Farley is sold on Colston Loveland continuing to be a go-to pass-catcher for Caleb Williams.

"Loveland has scored six times in his last 11 games, including two of the past three. He led the team in receptions and had double the targets (15) of his nearest rivals DJ Moore and Luther Burden (seven) in his first playoff game."

Rams vs Bears SNF props

Rams Colby Parkinson Over 19.5 receiving yards

-114 at FanDuel

Robert Criscola believes Colby Parkinson's receiving prop offers tremendous value.

"Parkinson has hit the Over on this line 10 times since Week 7, and eight straight times overall."
