<p>The first Sunday Night Football of the 2021 NFL season brings the NFC showdown from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, so here’s the best Chicago Bears vs. LA Rams betting pick along with the latest odds and betting trends.</p>



<p>The Rams are firm 7.5-point favorites on <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/">MyBookie Sportsbook</a>, while the totals are listed at 46.5 points. These two foes met in 2020, and Los Angeles defeated Chicago 24-10 as 6.5-point home favorites with a total of 44.0 points.</p>



<h2><strong>The Bears start Andy Dalton, but Justin Fields will take over eventually&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The Chicago Bears will go with Andy Dalton under center in Week 1. It’s a proper test for the 33-year-old signal-caller, but also for the Chicago Bears’ offensive line that will have to deal with one of the best defensive units in football.</p>



<p>Last season, the Bears made it to the wild-card game despite scoring just 23.3 points per game (23<sup>rd</sup> in the NFL) on 331.4 total yards (26<sup>th</sup>). They allowed 36 sacks (tied-17<sup>th</sup>), and the Bears ground game ranked 25<sup>th</sup>, as they were racking up only 102.9 rushing yards per contest.</p>



<p>Chicago will need a lot from its defense once more in order to reach the playoffs in 2021. The Bears were yielding 23.1 points per game this past regular season (14<sup>th</sup>) on 344.9 total yards (11<sup>th</sup>). They will look to improve those numbers, as the Bears have a solid defensive core, at least on paper.</p>



<h2><strong>The Rams aim for the Super Bowl&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The Los Angeles Rams have a new face under center, too, and the Chicago Bears are pretty familiar with Matthew Stafford, who spent 12 years with the Detroit Lions. Stafford is 11-9 SU against the Bears in his career, and the Rams hope he’s a missing puzzle in their loaded offensive unit.</p>



<p>Last season, Jared Goff led the Rams to a 10-6 record. LA was scoring only 23.3 points per game (22<sup>nd</sup> in the NFL), so Goff had to leave the city. On the other side of the ball, the Rams were leading the NFL in both points allowed (18.5) and total yards allowed per game (281.9).</p>



<p>Aaron Donald is arguably the most dominant defensive player in football. He had 13.5 sacks and 14 tackles for loss in 2021. Leonard Floyd, who joined the Rams from Chicago in 2020, was terrific last year, too, posting 10.5 sacks and 11 TFL.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Chicago:</strong></p>



<ul><li>3-6 ATS in the last nine games overall</li><li>5-10 ATS in the last 15 games on the road</li></ul>



<p><strong>LA Rams:</strong></p>



<ul><li>8-2-1 ATS in the last 11 games played in September</li><li>5-1 ATS in the last six outings in Week 1</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-chicago-bears-vs-los-angeles-rams-pick"><strong>Chicago Bears vs. Los Angeles Rams Pick</strong></h2>



<p>Chicago meets LA for the fourth straight season, and over the last two, the Rams have gone 2-0 straight up and ATS, outlasting the Bears 24-10 as 6.5-point home favorites and 17-7 as 5.5-point home favorites. They know each other very well, and I’m backing the Rams to extend their dominance and beat the Bears by a touchdown.</p>



<p>The Rams’ D should be among the best in the NFL once more. Matthew Stafford will need some time to settle down, but the Rams’ offense still looks more dangerous than the Bears’ offense with Andy Dalton under center.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Los Angeles Rams -6.5 at -138&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>The under has hit in the previous three encounters between the Bears and Rams, and it is 6-2 in their last eight H2H duels. Also, the under is 11-4 in the Rams’ last 15 games overall and 8-0 in their last eight showings at home.</p>



<p>The Rams should shut down the Bears and send the message to the other rivals in the NFC. On the other side, the Bears can win this clash only if they put on a strong defensive performance and force a few turnovers. Hereof, take the under on the totals.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 46.5 points at -110</strong></p>

Colorado Avalanche vs San Jose Sharks Betting Pick & Prediction 12/19/24

<p>All eyes will be on Monmouth Park this weekend as it’s time for the annual Haskell Stakes. This horse race might not have the big name as the three Triple Crown races, but some of the best horses in the world will be in the running.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This will be the 57th running of the historic event, and there is $1 million on the line for the winning horse as well. The draw was just done, and that means that betting odds have now been set for this big race.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here is a look at the betting odds for the Haskell Stakes and the top horses to back this weekend.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Some Big Favorites</h2>



<p>With such a loaded group of horses looking to run at Monmouth Park, you can rightly assume that the betting odds are extremely tight. Mindframe is coming into this race as the betting favorite, and the odds for that horse are currently sitting at +180 to come away with the win.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This is a horse that has had a ton of success this year, and it is one that will be looking to get off to an early lead in this event. <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betonline/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Betting</a> odds don’t fall off much for other horses at the Haskell Stakes as there are two horses sitting at +250. </p>



<p>Dornoch and Fierceness are currently sitting at +250, and those are two horses that have been favorites many times throughout their careers. Both Dornoch and Fierceness have proven that they can win big races, and this is one that would definitely qualify.&nbsp;</p>



<p>There is a bit of a break after the top three horses, but Tuscan Sky isn’t too far behind the leaders at +450. Those are four great horses that can all run ahead of the rest of the pack.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Others in the Mix</h2>



<p>There are four other horses set to run in the Haskell Stakes, and there is a pretty clear gap in the <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betonline/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">betting</a> odds that are out there. That doesn’t mean that other horses can’t come up with a win, but that would lead to a pretty big upset. </p>



<p>Timberlake is coming into this event at +800, and it’s a horse that has plenty to prove. You could include Timberlake in the group of favorites, especially compared to the other odds.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Sea Streak is next on the list at +2000 to come away with the win, but it’s a horse that has a lot to prove. Jasper’s Pride and Just Step on It have odds sitting at +3000 to win this big event, and they are clearly underdogs.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dornoch Gets it Done</h2>



<p>There are going to be some great horse races throughout the weekend, but this will be one that stands out for a number of different reasons. This is also going to be a good chance to cash in, and it won’t be the favorite that comes away with a win.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Dornoch is a horse that has had a great season, but the horse is looking for a signature win. Look for this to be the race for Dornoch as it will win the Haskell Stakes.</p>

Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles vs UCF Knights NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/19/24

<p>The 2021-22 NBA season continues with a nine-game Friday card, bringing the marquee interconference matchup from United Center in Chicago, so here’s the best Warriors vs. Bulls betting pick.</p>



<p>Golden State and Chicago wrap up their two-game regular-season set. The Warriors aim for their tenth straight victory over the Bulls, opening as small 1.5-point road underdogs with a total of 224.5 points on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/">MyBookie Sportsbook</a>.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>The Dubs lost three of their last four games</h2>



<p>The Golden State Warriors fell to 30-10 straight up and 23-15-2 on the season following a 116-108 defeat at the Memphis Grizzlies this past Tuesday. It was their third loss in the last four outings, and the Dubs have covered only once in their previous five games overall.</p>



<p>The Warriors rallied from an 18-point first-half deficit but couldn’t get the job done in the fourth quarter. They shot only 42.7% from the field and committed 17 turnovers. Steph Curry posted a triple-double of 27 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists, while Klay Thompson added 14 points on 5-for-13 shooting from the field.</p>



<p>Draymond Green sat out Tuesday’s loss due to a calf injury and will remain on the shelf for the next three games. The Warriors meet the Bulls on the second day of a back-to-back set, coming off a tough road clash against Milwaukee that has been excluded from the analysis.</p>



<h2>The Bulls got hammered by the Nets   </h2>



<p>The Chicago Bulls (27-12; 23-16 ATS) are coming off a heavy 138-112 defeat to the Brooklyn Nets this past Wednesday. They trailed by a couple of points at the break, allowing the Nets to dominate in the second half and pick up an easy win.</p>



<p>Brooklyn dropped 76 second-half points on Chicago. The Nets shot 56.3% from the field and 53.1% from beyond the arc. The Bulls, on the other side, made 46.9% of their field goals and committed 17 turnovers, while Zach LaVine led the way with 22 points and six assists.</p>



<p>Derrick Jones Jr. suffered a knee injury in the first minute of that ugly loss and will miss the next few weeks. Alex Caruso is in the medical protocols, so the Bulls will have to figure out a few things, especially on the defensive end. Chicago surrenders 109.3 points per 100 possessions (tied-15<sup>th</sup> in the NBA) on 45.7% shooting from the field (tied-18<sup>th</sup>) and 35.7% from downtown (tied-21<sup>st</sup>).</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Golden State:</strong></p>



<ul><li>6-1 ATS in the last seven games against Chicago</li></ul>



<p><strong>Chicago:</strong></p>



<ul><li>2-5 ATS in the last seven games overall&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-golden-state-warriors-vs-chicago-bulls-pick">Golden State Warriors vs. Chicago Bulls Pick</h2>



<p>Whether you like to follow the betting trends or go against them, this is a game you don’t want to miss. The Warriors are 9-0 SU and 7-2 ATS in their last nine meetings with the Bulls. Back in November, Golden State thrashed off Chicago 119-93, and Steph Curry accounted for 40 points. The Warriors were without Klay Thompson, while the Bulls missed Nikola Vucevic.</p>



<p>Frankly, I don’t feel comfortable with a side bet this time around. The Warriors are without their glue guy and best defender, while the Bulls have injury problems, too. Chicago should be fired up to make amends for an embarrassing loss to the Nets, but I lean the Warriors because of their defense. And Stephen Curry, of course. The Dubs allow 102.4 points per 100 possessions (1<sup>st</sup> in the NBA) on 42.6% shooting from the field (also 1<sup>st</sup>).</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Golden State Warriors +1.5 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>The under is 4-1 in the last five encounters between the Warriors and Bulls. Also, the under is 3-1 in Golden State’s last four outings and 3-3-1 in Chicago’s previous seven. Both teams average 98.7 possessions per 48 minutes (tied-12<sup>th</sup> in the league), so the totals look like another tricky wager in this matchup.</p>



<p>I’m taking the under, expecting a much better defensive performance by the Bulls, who fell apart against the Nets two days ago. Chicago cannot win this game without a solid defensive performance.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 224.5 points at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>
