We didn’t have a Chicago Bears-specific Reacts survey question here at Windy City Gridiron this week, but the national set of survey questions that SB Nation emailed out — sign up here to participate — asked
fans to pick the winners in this weekend’s games.
I’m not surprised by the results.
The Los Angeles Rams had more wins in the regular season, finishing at (12-5) and second place in the tough NFC West, and they were number two overall in DVOA for the regular season.
Even though the game is in Chicago, the Rams have been favored all week by the oddsmakers. They have the number one offense in terms of points and yards, and, defensively, their 47 sacks are tied for seventh-most in the NFL, and they are fifth in defensive takeaways.
Since Sean McVay took over as head coach nine years ago, the Rams have been in the postseason seven times, with two Super Bowl appearances and one Lombardi Trophy.
So, again, not surprisd at all by the public going with the more known entity.
On paper, the Rams should win, but on Soldier Field, and on any given Sunday, it’s anyone’s game.
