The Chicago Bears face off against the Los Angeles Rams in a highly anticipated Sunday Night Football matchup. The Bears will start veteran Andy Dalton over rookie Justin Fields, raising questions about mobility against the Rams' fierce defense.

Key Factors for the Bears (-7.5):

• Andy Dalton's limited mobility could be problematic against the Rams' pass rush
• Multiple defensive starters are game-time decisions due to injuries
• Justin Fields would have provided better scrambling ability

Key Factors for the Rams:

• Matthew Stafford makes his Rams debut behind a healthy offensive line
• Strong defense featuring elite front seven and secondary
• Went 10-6 against the spread in 2020
• Sean McVay's offensive scheme should maximize Stafford's strengths


Betting Analysis: The Rams are the superior pick at -7.5 points due to:

• Bears' defensive injuries
• Questions surrounding Dalton's fit in Chicago's offense
• Rams' balanced offensive and defensive units
• Stafford's upgrade at quarterback for LA

Expert Pick: Los Angeles Rams -7.5

The Rams' combination of an elite defense and improved offense with Stafford should allow them to cover the spread against an undermanned Bears team dealing with defensive injuries and quarterback uncertainty.
