### Experts Favor Rams to Upset Bears Despite Being Underdogs Again

For the fourth consecutive week, the Los Angeles Rams find themselves as underdogs in their matchup. The Rams, having played three of their initial four games on the road, face skepticism from oddsmakers who doubt Coach Sean McVay's squad, even after a surprising win against the 49ers in Week 3.

The current betting line sees the Chicago Bears as 3-point favorites against the Rams. This margin is notably high given Chicago's performance over the first three weeks of the season. Nevertheless, expert opinion seems to differ significantly from the oddsmakers' assessment. According to Tallysight, 62% of analysts are predicting a straight-out win for the Rams. Furthermore, an impressive 74% believe the Rams will manage to cover the spread, and 59% are betting on the game to go under 41 points.

The Rams have yet to deliver a completely polished performance this season. They have struggled in the early stages of their first three games, only staging comebacks against both the Lions and the 49ers. A strong start in their upcoming game in Chicago might enable them to secure a win more easily and provide greater flexibility in their play-calling strategy, avoiding an overly pass-heavy approach.

Securing a victory over the Bears would balance the Rams’ record at 2-2. Such an outcome would be a favorable position for the team, especially considering their initial setbacks, including a 0-2 start and a 14-point deficit against the 49ers in the last week's clash.
