Rams vs. Bears Prediction for Divisional Round: NFL Playoffs Picks & Best Bets
Ahead of the final game of the NFL Divisional Round, my Rams vs. Bears prediction is betting on the home underdog to cover the spread today at 6:30 p.m. ET (NBC) in the chilly conditions at Solider Field in Chicago.
The Bears are the 3.5-point betting underdog despite their impressive 7-1 home record since losing the first game of the season. As part of the NFL Divisional Round predictions, I've also analyzed the total while selecting an anytime TD scorer.

💰 Rams vs. Bears best bet: Bears +4.5 (-118) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Follow all of our NFL analysis and betting advice for the 2026 NFL playoffs.
If there's one thing we know for sure about the 2025-26 Bears, it's that Chicago plays close games.
The Bears only lost by more than four points once over the entire second half of the season. Playing at home with the Chicago cold on their side, I'm backing the Bears to ensure this one goes down to the wire.
Head to DraftKings or FanDuel for a 4.5.-point spread, as other best sports betting sites have this matchup lined at Rams -4.
Score prediction: Rams 24, Bears 21
🙌 Best Rams vs. Bears touchdown scorer prediction: Puka Nacua anytime touchdown (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
See all of our NFL touchdown props for the 2026 NFL playoffs.
Puka Nacua is on an absolute tear, with seven touchdowns across his last six games.
Only two teams allowed more touchdowns to receivers this season than the Bears, who gave up a whopping four in the Wild Card Round to the Packers.
With the Bears lacking speed in the secondary, I'm targeting the faster Nacua to score for the Rams rather than Davante Adams. I also feature this bet in my Rams vs. Bears player props, while Mike Spector backs a different TD scorer from this game in his NFL best bets.
