#460/470 ASA PLAY ON Over 44.5 Points - Chicago Bears vs Arizona Cardinals, Sunday at 4 PM ET - Two fast paced teams in this game (6th and 9th in seconds per play) should give us plenty of opportunities to put up points. Chicago’s defense has solid numbers and is coming off a game where they allowed only 18 points to Washington, however that score was extremely misleading. The Commanders blew opportunity after opportunity to get into the endzone and settle for 4 FG’s despite rolling up almost 500 yards on 6.7 YPP. Prior to playing Washington and allowing big numbers in the stat sheet, the Bears hadn’t played a single offense ranked inside the top 10 in YPP and the average of those 6 prior offenses was 19th in YPP. Arizona ranks 9th in YPP and should have success here. On the other side, Arizona’s defense is not good. They rank 28th in YPP allowed and 27th in total defense. They’ve allowed at least 20 points in 5 of their last 6 games and the one game they did not was vs the Chargers who averaged 6.2 YPP in the game but settled for 5 FG’s and fumbled at the Arizona 1-yard line. The Bears offense wasn’t great last week vs a vastly improved Washington defense, however Chicago showed some real progress leading into that game. In their previous 3 games the Bears were ranked in the top 10 in YPP and YPG offensively while averaging 32 PPG. We expect them to get back on track vs a poor defense on Sunday. Perfect conditions for scoring in Arizona on Sunday and the Cards have topped this total (44.5 points) in 4 of their last 5 games. With this line around a pick-em both teams projected total is right around 22 points. We expect both to eclipse that. Take the Over.
