San Francisco at Chicago

The weather is getting colder and a pair of bad offenses meet. San Francisco is #21 in total yards on offense, and #28 in points scored. But the 49ers are playing hard for this first-year coaching staff and scored a 31-21 win over the Giants two weeks ago as a dog. The offense gets a boost this week as QB Jimmy Garoppolo will make his first start since being acquired from the Patriots. Jimmy G has plenty to play for as he is set to hit free agency after the season. The 49ers have had a difficult schedule but have close losses at Seattle (12-9), at Arizona (18-15) and at the Colts (26-23). They are 10-2 UNDER the total after a double-digit loss at home. After playing a string of talented teams, San Francisco steps way down in class to face the blundering Bears, losers of four in a row by 8, 8, 3 and 28 points. They were favored at home to the Packers and lost 23-16, meaning they're 0-6 ATS the last six times as chalk. Chicago is #29 in total yards on offense and points scored (17 points per game). The coaching staff is probably on the way out, as the team looks ill prepared too often with too many penalties and mental mistakes. The Bears got crushed last week, 31-3, and are 31-13 UNDER the total off a road blowout loss by 14+ points. With San Francisco 26-13 ATS away when playing against teams with winning percentages between 25-40%, back the dog in a low scoring tilt. Play San Francisco and the UNDER.
