Bears 23-16. I think it'll be an easier game than that though. The Rams will get some garbage time points.

 

[MDB111™]

i think we kill the rams

 

[Cutlerfan0615]

24-16 Bears

Key Matchups- Julius Peppers vs. Backup LT
J'Marcus Webb vs. Robert Quinn
Cortland Finnegan vs. Entire Offense's Skin

 

[Les Grossman]

My boy Melton is gonna get two more sacks.

Suck it haters!

 

[PrimeTime]

For their week #3 game against the Bears the Rams will be starting backups at every position on the o-line except for Dahl at RG. Barring a Cutler pic-6 or a Rams special teams TD I don't see the Rams scoring more than 10 points. The Rams may have put up 31 on the Redskins but pretty much all of it was after Orakpo and Carriker were knocked out of the game in the 1st quarter. That's equivalent to Peppers and Melton getting knocked out.

 

[Warrior Spirit]

Bears by 10

 

[robthorn24]

Bears by 13.

 

[ChicagoBornCalifLiving]

Bears 27-16

bears by 2 on a safety

 

[Bears4Ever_34]

Bears 35-20

 

[Bearshomer]

The Bears will pitch a shut out this weekend

The Rams have no number one receiver, a weak beat up OL, a young QB, and Jackson is hurt. They will shut the Rams out this weekend,

 

[1COBearsfan]

I hope you're right

 

[Zion]

Yeah sure they will. We'll go up 20 then start coasting playing our prevent D. They're gonna get at least a couple FGs

 

[Culpfiction]

Yeah sure they will. We'll go up 20 then start coasting playing our prevent D. They're gonna get at least a couple FGs

This is Lovie's m.o.

 

[SERE Bear]

31-13 Bears

 

[Slacker]

Actually Amendola put up better numbers than the entire Bears receiving corps last week and there are rumors that Jackson was benched as a disciplinary action, not due to injury. Regardless, Chicago should win easily but predicting a shutout is wishful thinking. Chicago has always allowed yards and FG's, in order for the Rams to get blanked they would have to completely tank while Chicago plays lights out. Could happen, but kinda cocky to think so.

 

[nvanprooyen]

I wonder if we manage to put up 35+ if the media will stoop to "Good Jay, Bad Jay" comparisons.

 

[Slacker]

I'm guessing 34 - 20 with the Rams scoring half their points against the prevent D in the 2nd half.

 

[Slacker]

You know they will.
