The NFC leading Cardinals head to the Windy City to take on the 4-7 Bears. Chicago snapped a five-game skid in their Thanksgiving’s day defeat of the winless Lions, but they’ll need a huge improvement on their recent performances if they’re going to upset the 9-2 Cardinals.
The Cardinals are back in action after their bye last week and will be hoping to welcome back starting QB Kyler Murray, who has missed the Cardinals last three games. Chicago will start Andy Dalton at QB, and despite him throwing for 317 yards against Detroit, I’m expecting him to struggle to move the ball through the air against a Cardinals defense that is top-4 in passing yards allowed per game. Add this to the fact Chicago rank dead last in passing yards per game, and I can see Dalton struggling here.
Spread: Cardinals -7.5
Total: 42.5
Game Prediction: Cardinals 27-17 Bears
Best Bet: Andy Dalton under 216.5 passing yards & Cardinals to win outright @ 11/8 with Bet365 Bet Builder. [0.5]
