49ers Vs. Bears: Odds, Analysis, Picks For NFL Week 13 Game
Editor’s note: NESN.com’s Mike Cole, Ricky Doyle and Andre Khatchaturian deliver their NFL picks every Thursday of the season, and here’s who they like in the San Francisco 49ers-Chicago Bears Week 13 game, with the line from OddsShark.
San Francisco 49ers at (-1) Chicago Bears, Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
Mike: Bears. Don’t watch this football game.
Andre: Bears. For a bad team, the Bears aren?t that bad (on paper, anyway). They have the NFL’s fifth-best yards per play differential and they?re going up against the Niners, who have the worst yards per play differential in the league.
Ricky: 49ers. San Francisco’s unbelievably bad run defense — it’s allowing an NFL-worst 5.1 yards per carry and 171.8 rushing yards per game — almost steered me toward Chicago. Then, I remembered Matt Barkley is playing quarterback for the Bears. And Colin Kaepernick, regardless of what you think of his philosophical views, is playing very well under center for the 49ers.
