Rams vs Bears Same Game Parlay Picks (Jan 18th, 2026)

Pairing Chicago with points and a low total leverages current team tendencies toward defense-heavy outcomes. The spread respects the Bears’ knack for keeping games tight against favored opponents. Choosing fewer than forty-one combined points aligns with both teams’ limited aerial scoring threats lately.

Pick 1: Total Points – Under 40.5 – +267

Scoring output looks capped by each squad's inefficiency through the air shown all season long—recently highlighted by games producing sub-two passing touchdowns altogether between them. Weather conditions won’t aid offenses either; cold wind routinely curtails explosive plays at Chicago’s stadium in January action such as this one expects to see here again Thursday night.

Pick 2: Point Spread – Chicago Bears +2.5 – +122

Chicago enters this home tilt again getting modest points from oddsmakers after exceeding expectations before as an underdog. Their ability to keep margin close has emerged against quality competition, especially when leading defensive units visit Soldier Field in winter conditions like these forecasted here versus Los Angeles. Rams tend to falter when forced into grinder matchups on unfamiliar turf, further boosting appeal of backing the local side plus points.
