5 reasons the Chicago Bears will beat the Los Angeles Rams
1. The Rams are in a tough schedule spot
The Los Angeles Rams are in a tough spot, and if you have watched the NFL for a long enough amount of time you know that situations can get the best of players and teams. It happens to all good coaches and players.
When you look at the Rams' first three games, there was a lot of adrenaline built up. First, they played the team that knocked them out of the playoffs on primetime. It was another return to Detroit for Matthew Stafford, and they played down to the wire. It was an emotional loss. They had to rebound that with two division games, back-to-back. They split them but had to come back from 24-14 in the final 12 minutes to win the game.
So, they have been in high gear for a few weeks now. They will not see the Bears as a letdown spot, but a rivalry and emotional game on prime time and two division games will always get you more pumped up. When they come in a row, there is a cause for a letdown.
Add in that the Rams are coming from the West Coast and the body clocks will be set for a 10 AM kick-off and you could see the team get off to a slow start. Can the Bears take advantage?
