With a second straight division title in hand Josh Bellamy Jersey , Jared Goff and the Los Angeles Rams would love to grab a few more prizes.Another one is there for the taking.The NFC West champion Rams look to clinch a first-round playoff bye when they visit the NFC North-leading Chicago Bears in a prime-time matchup Sunday.“You obviously want to win as many games as you can,” Goff said. “But if you do, it will lead to those types of rewards, and the first one we’ve done is win the division. Hopefully we can win a few more now or however many it takes to get the first-round bye and hopefully work toward the first seed.”The Rams (11-1) clinched their second straight division championship and became the first team to secure a playoff spot with their 30-16 victory at Detroit last week. It’s quite an accomplishment for a franchise that endured 13 seasons without a winning record after capturing the NFC West in 2003.It’s the first division repeat for the Rams since a run of seven straight first-place finishes ended in 1979. And besides securing a first-round bye on Sunday, Los Angeles has a chance to move closer to home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs, with a one-game lead over New Orleans, which has beaten the Rams.Chicago (8-4) won five straight prior to a wild overtime loss at the New York Giants last week. The Bears wiped out a 10-point deficit in the final 1:13 of regulation, only to lose when Janoris Jenkins knocked away a deep pass by Chase Daniel after Aldrick Rosas kicked a 44-yard field goal.Daniels likely won’t be at quarterback this week. Mitchell Trubisky expects to return after missing the past two games because of a right shoulder injury.Here are some things to know as the Rams and Bears get ready to meet:ROADMAPSThe two teams appear to be following similar paths, with prized quarterbacks and big leaps under offense-minded coaches.The Rams drafted Goff with the No. 1 overall pick in 2016, hired coach Sean McVay to get the most out of him prior to last season, and took off from there https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Anthony-Miller-Jersey , winning the division out of nowhere.Chicago drafted Trubisky with the second overall pick in 2017 and hired Matt Nagy prior to this season to get the most out of the prized QB. Though the Bears expected to be better after four straight last-place finishes, a rather commanding division lead seemed like a stretch.Trubisky has taken some big strides after a shaky rookie season — like Goff, who made the Pro Bowl last year. And a prime-time win over the team with the best record in the NFL wouldn’t hurt his stock.“We know we have a great opponent coming in this weekend. … And I’m just eager and excited to get back out there with my guys and play the game,” Trubisky said.RUNNING RAMSTodd Gurley is already the NFL’s leading rusher and its top-scoring non-kicker with 19 touchdowns, but the Rams might need to rely on their superstar running back even more than usual. His backup, Malcolm Brown, is out for the season after injuring his collarbone last week. Depth running backs Justin Davis and John Kelly have little regular-season experience, but both seem confident in their ability to contribute — and Kelly is a Detroit native who won’t mind the cold Chicago weather.EXPECTED BACKTrubisky hasn’t played since a win over Minnesota on Nov. 18. He was hurt sliding in the closing minutes, when the Vikings’ Harrison Smith hit him on the left side. That resulted in his right shoulder getting driven into the ground.Assuming he starts Sunday, Trubisky will have to contend with Aaron Donald, who leads the league with 16 1/2 sacks.“You look at (Donald) and you wonder how he can weigh as much as he weighs (280 pounds) and be as quick as he is Sherrick McManis Color Rush Jersey ,” Nagy said. “He’s really extremely quick. He’s savvy in regards to the different types of moves that he has. He’s got power.”THROW IT OUTGoff is coming off one of his least impressive games in a standout season. He went 17 of 33 for just 207 yards and one touchdown at Detroit. Goff also threw an interception and was sacked twice. He’s facing a daunting task going against Khalil Mack and a defense with a league-leading 21 interceptions.“We’ve got to be ready to go,” McVay said. “This is one of the best defenses in the league and you see it show up on the tape.”RUN DOWNThough the Bears rank second against the run, they’ve had trouble stopping it the past two games.New York’s Saquon Barkley carried 24 times for 125 yards. And in a Thanksgiving victory at Detroit, Chicago gave up 85 yards rushing in the second half. CG Technology released their early win totals for NFL teams and the Bears number is curious."

The moneyline is -110 for each, meaning a $110 bet would pay $100. While that may seem low for a team that won 12 games, remember that the schedule looks a lot harder this season with six 2018 playoff teams on the schedule (Chargers, Chiefs, Cowboys, Saints at home; Rams and Eagles on the road) plus a tough overseas road trip to play the Raiders. The NFC North is never really an easy division to play either.So when factoring that in, along with the unknown of if the defense will take a step back (turnovers don’t typically stay consistent year to year and they have a new coordinator), it makes sense that Vegas would set the bar a little lower.That said though, me, I’d roll with the over. I think that while the home slate is tougher https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Joel-Iyiegbuniwe-Jersey , it gives them an upper hand because we’ve seen Nagy bring the homefield advantage back to the lake front and Denver, Washington and Oakland don’t look to be massively improved as far as road opponents.Then you throw in a Lions team that doesn’t jump off the screen at you, an unknown Packers team and a Vikings squad looking to bounce back after a woeful season and it seems like there’s at least six wins, conservatively, if we’re assuming a split in the division series. The Bears can beat the Cowboys and Chargers, but those games won’t be easy. The Giants are definitely worse than the squad that upset them on the road a year ago. That gets you to nine wins. Obviously, the NFL is full of surprises and it isn’t out of the realm that the Bears win a couple fewer games than last year, but I would still say that the over is the better play.
