The Chicago Bears will host the Arizona Cardinals at Soldier Field, aiming to keep their playoff hopes alive against the team with the best record in the NFL.

The Bears limped to an unconvincing 16-14 victory over the Detroit Lions in Week 12. Chicago is 4-7 and will need to run the table to stand a chance of making it to the playoffs. And they will likely have to do it without starting quarterback Justin Fields.

The Cardinals have also been without their starting quarterback in the last three games but have managed to win two. Colt McCoy has been a brilliant stand-in for Kyler Murray, who might miss the game against the Bears on Sunday.

Chicago Bears vs. Arizona Cardinals betting picks

With Akeim Hicks and Khalil Mack out, the Bears have a non-existent pass rush. Colt McCoy has been more than efficient when given time to pick his pass. Even if the Cardinals play this game without Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins, expect them to cover the spread.

Cardinals running back James Conner has had more games with two or more touchdowns than without one this season. He's been Arizona's go-to man in the red zone. Expect him to get in the end zone a couple of times.
