The Los Angeles Rams will be on the road once again in the divisional round, visiting the Chicago Bears next weekend. As the No. 5 seed in the NFC, they knew they would have to be road warriors in the playoffs, but that’s never scared them before.
No matter where or when the Rams play, they’re capable of beating any opponent. The odds reflect that, because Los Angeles opened as a 4.5-point favorite against the Bears next weekend, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 50.5 points.
Spread: Rams -4.5 (-104) | Bears +4.5 (-118)Over/under: 50.5 (O: -115| U: -105)Moneyline: Rams -190 | Bears +160
This line is vastly different than their opening game against the Carolina Panthers when they were 10.5-point favorites on the road, but the Bears are a much better team and Chicago is a tough place to play.
The Rams have yet to face the Bears this season, and Sean McVay has never coached against them in his postseason career. As good as they are after going 11-6, the Rams actually finished with a better record than Chicago at 12-5.
