The Chicago Bears got thumped last week and they have lost two games in a row but playing the Rams usually gets teams back on track.  The Rams have lost their last three games by a combined 116-32!  The Bears will likely keep it simple in this game and pound rookie RB Matt Forte against a soft Rams’ defense which allows 158.4 yards rushing per game and 4.7 ypc.  After the run is established then look for Kyle Orton to take some deep shots off play action as the Rams are allowing 233.7 yards passing per game and opposing QBs have a 101.8 rating against them.

The Rams should throw caution to the wind and attack the Bears with the passing game.  For that to happen the Rams will need to protect Marc Bulger better as Rams’ QBs have been sacked 32 times already this season.  The Bears are allowing 249.3 yards passing per game so this could be the week that Torry Holt gets his game going again.  Rookie WRs Donnie Avery and Derek Stanley also could notch some big plays in this game.  With Steven Jackson out again it will be up to Antonio Pittman to step up against a Bears’ defense that is allowing only 87.4 yards rushing per game and 3.4 ypc.

PREDICTION:  CHICAGO BEARS 31, ST. LOUIS RAMS 20
