Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Los Angeles Rams vs. Chicago Bears
Sunday, January 18, 2026 6:30 PM
Play: Point Spread: +3.5/-105 Chicago Bears
Chicago is a team with a Head Coach in Ben Johnson that explicitly knows what they do best. That kind of instinctual ability is a really great thing to have. They also have a QB in Caleb Williams who really knows how to win games and also avoids stupid turnovers as his 7 ints shows. The Los Angeles defense trying to deal with this red hot Bears team in Chicago is going to be a bit much. The Rams don't have the greatest passing defense, giving up the 19th ranked YPG. In turn, their defensive game plan then can get a green light to try and get overly aggressive on pass coverage, which means they can then get burned downfield. Going one dimensional on D won't help them. Chicago needs to come out swinging, and let the Rams know they are there, and ready to fight. The Rams defense can be a bit unpredictable, sometimes they are more on the passive side and other times they can be too aggressive - it will be interesting to watch which style they try to use vs Da Bears. Chicago wins taking +3.5 the points
