Arizona Cardinals vs Chicago Bears Prediction
I’ll lean toward the Cardinals here, but I could probably go either way. Should be a fun matchup. Arizona gave up quite a bit on defense to the Dolphins: 377 yards (150 rushing), 5.9 yards per play and a scorching 11-of-15 on third-down tries. The Cardinals held it together with a late surge however, and pulled off a nice road win. Each victory during this current 3-1 stretch has been by two points or fewer.
As for the Bears, they mustered just 307 yards (111 passing), 15 first downs and 2-of-12 on third-down conversions in their loss to Washington. The defense gave up 481 yards on the other side trying to bail out the offense—but it was still a winnable game. I like this one to be close as well, with Arizona eking out a home cover. That said, you should probably shop around for a favorable line as this one looks like it’ll be pretty tight. Should be a fun game to watch.
