On the other side of the football, injuries have taken a toll on what was expected to be a strong Bears defense. The one constant for this defense has been star linebacker Lance Briggs, though. The guy is simply one of the best in the game and he will likely play a huge role in keeping the Bears in this week’s contest. Arizona loves to hit its opponents with short routes to its talented set of playmakers to let them run after the catch. If Briggs can make quick reads to limit the yards gained after the catch, it will go a long way toward helping the Bears win. It is worth noting that the Bears are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 home games.I like Chicago at home laying a field goal this week because The Bears played a very solid game against the Browns, beating them 30-6 in Chicago. The Cardinals have no rushing game once so ever, ranked last in the NFL, and Kurt Warner just can’t carry the team every game. If Arizona’s defense creates the most turnovers, they might have a chance.


**Prediction**: Calendar has turned to November, which means it's time for the Cardinals to stop showing up on the road...
