Free NFL Football Picks: Carolina Panthers at Chicago Bears

Defense wins championships. You all have heard of this shot. But, this will be the determining factor in today’s matchup between the Panthers of Carolina against the Da Bears of Chicago. Both teams are strong defensively and both teams are poor offensively.

In their previous meeting last November, the Bears earned a 13-3 victory at Soldier Field; I hope they finish off the inconsistent Carolina Panthers this Sunday. The Bears will continue at Soldier Field.

The Bears defense is allowing a paltry 12.6 ppg and an alarming 7.6 ppg at home! Bears games this year have slumped (or/or 4-10-2) mostly due to this fact. Although I see this game going over the projected total this Sunday, I still see Carolina not getting more than 14 points in this matchup.

If the Bears score early, they’ll score often. Teams coming off unfavorable playoff wins have a pretty nasty ATS record going into their next game; not to mention the fact that the Panthers shutout their opponent in their last game… this game has loss written all over it. The Bears should travel to the West next Sunday to play the Seattle Seahawks.

Today’s free picks include the Bears giving up less than a field goal today.
