If the Los Angeles Rams are going to make the playoffs – which at the moment seems like a long shot – they desperately need a win on Sunday night against the Bears. Dropping further back in the NFC West and wild-card race would be very costly, as the Rams would potentially need to win out to make the postseason.
They’re not in “must-win” territory just yet, but every loss becomes increasingly impactful on their playoff odds. The experts believe they’ll get a win this weekend with the majority of them picking the Rams.
According to NFL Pick Watch, 86% of experts are taking Los Angeles to win at home against the Bears. Among the experts taking Chicago to pull off the upset are Vinnie Iyer of Sporting News, Will Brinson of CBS Sports and Dan Graziano of ESPN.
There are only two games in Week 11 where the split between experts is smaller than this matchup. In Colts-Jaguars, 57% are picking Indianapolis, and in Jets-Redskins, 73% are taking New York.
The Rams are 6.5-point favorites at BetMGM, and the over/under is 41.5.
