Wild Card Weekend was exactly that - wild. The Los Angeles Rams kicked it off by barely hanging on against the Carolina Panthers, and just hours later, the Chicago Bears pulled off a remarkable upset over the Green Bay Packers. Now, those two victors take on one another, which means that we’re here with our best Rams vs. Bears predictions for Sunday.

Rams vs. Bears Predictions for NFL Divisional Round, 1/18

With the MVP-caliber season that Matthew Stafford has been having, the Rams looked like they were on the fast track to the #1 seed in the NFC; they were also overall Super Bowl favorites for several weeks. On the flip side, despite leading the NFC North nearly all season, there were so many doubters of Caleb Williams and the Bears.

That includes while being down 21-6 in the fourth quarter on Saturday night, but Ben Johnson’s guys silenced those doubters as well with the aforementioned crazy comeback. Unlike the other NFC Divisional Round game, this is not a divisional rivalry, but Rams vs. Bears predictions were made somewhat recently.

In Week 4 of the 2024 season, Chicago took down LA, and it’s still worth noting given that Matthew Stafford and Caleb Williams were the QBs at the time. Even still, the Rams vs. Bears odds clearly favor LA on Sunday. Both teams have plenty of strengths and weaknesses to consider how to add to our NFL best bets for Divisional Sunday.

LA going on their team total in the Wild Card Round helped cash one of our NFL expert picks, but now we need to add to those with a best bet from our Rams vs. Bears predictions for Sunday.

 

 

 

Rams vs. Bears Best Bet: Davante Adams Anytime TD (Use His Sleeper Fantasy Card)

Admittedly, while we hit on the Rams team total, we also expected a few different guys to find the endzone. However, it was Puka Nacua who did so twice himself, but we aren’t going to let that diminish our faith in the Matthew Stafford-to-Davante-Adams connection. Therefore, we’re going back to the well with our Rams vs. Bears predictions.

All we need to do is look at Chicago’s Wild Card game. Although they pulled off the impressive comeback that we keep referring to, it was far from perfect. In fact, it was quite ugly at the start. The Packers got off to an even faster start than Stafford and Nacua, as Jordan Love threw three TDs passes in the first half alone!

He went on to throw four of them in total, and better yet, to four different WRs. That’s good news for our Rams vs. Bears predictions, even if Chicago does pull off another upset. Their defense is far from elite, as they rely on turnovers. With that in mind, you could also take Matthew Stafford to throw an interception here.

The future Hall-of-Famer has thrown plenty in his career (although he was far more prone to do so with the Detroit Lions), and Chicago leads the NFL in INTs. Even though that’s a consideration, we still love this more - the best bet from our Rams vs. Bears predictions is Davante Adams to score an anytime TD (add him to a Sleeper lineup).

Rams vs. Bears Injury Report & Latest News

Our best bet relates directly to Rams vs. Bears injuries, as we saw Davante Adams return from his hamstring injury in the Wild Card Round. As for others in LA, the most notable name is Kevin Dotson, as we don’t consider Matthew Stafford having limited practices being an issue.

Regarding Rams vs. Bears injuries in Chicago, we saw their offensive line get healthy, which is huge for them. Therefore, our biggest concerns are with their defense - CJ Gardner-Johnson, Amen Ogbongbemiga, and we also saw the brutal TJ Edwards injury on Saturday. Keep tabs on those guys and much more with the Fantasy Alarm NFL injury report.
