CHICAGO BEARS +3.5 over La Rams-----------Rams have beaten Seattle once, the Colts, Houston,  Lions and Jacksonville and they've lost to SF and the Eagles.   Yet they struggle vs Carolina, losing to them once and then not covering last game.  Bears have beaten Green Bay and Phi.  They have 14, 20,  9 and 6 on defense.  And Rome, Loveland,  Edmunds and Luther receiving.   I like their receivers.   Course, Rams have the 9, 17 and 14.  Bears are scuffling in the 1st half(we know they win the 4th quarter).  Yet Rams scuffled ALL GAME last game vs Panthers.   I view names like Stafford and Poona Ford as being infected with possible bad luck after Trump visited the Ford plant this week.  Could be wrong,  but Trump has already ruined his 2nd term with violations and Nazi stuff and I think it's a risk for Stafford.   I believe Mcmillan's # was 29 when he robbed the ball from Cooks in OT last night---WHILE HE WAS DOWN----and they called that an INT.   Decided the game.   #9 Bouttie just made a one-armed catch.   Don't think its right;  9's a thief.    I would just advise the Bears to try to DO BETTER IN THE 1ST HALF.(Win 20-17...............Bears +77yds -3 TO. Stafford BELOW 50%.   Bears win 1st half but only tie in 4th quarter)
