San Francisco at Chicago

San Francisco has played nine straight games against teams fighting for the playoffs, including the Seahawks, Cowboys, Patriots, and Dolphins. Now they catch a break playing the awful Chicago Bears. Chicago is down to its third-string quarterback because of injuries, going with Matt Barkley (3 TDs, 4 INTS, 49% completions). Chicago's offense is terrible, #31 in the league averaging 16.2 points per game...and they are favored! The Bears are 17-35 ATS against the NFC, plus on a 10-24-1 ATS run at home. San Francisco has a veteran QB and a strong ground attack, fourth in the NFL in rushing with 126.5 yards per game while facing a Chicago defense that is #18 against the run and in points allowed. QB Colin Kaepernick has 10 TD passes, only three picks, and has run for 373 yards, 8.1 yards per carry. Both teams will run the football, chewing up yards and the clock in the Chicago cold, and the Bears are 11-4 UNDER the total after getting 250+ yards passing in their previous game. Play San Francisco and UNDER the total.
