This game is scheduled to start at 1 PM ET on Sunday afternoon on FOX.
While the Ravens are coming off a record-setting victory over Detroit, the Bears couldn’t find a way to complete the upset of the Green Bay Packers last week. NFL Week 15 Picks experts have set the OVER/UNDER for this game at a total of 40½ points.
Baltimore defeated the lowly Lions 48-3, as Ray Rice enjoyed a career-day. Rice had some ballgame, setting a new career-best, 166 rushing yards and a touchdown. After suffering a devastating defeat at the hands of the Packers, the Ravens did a terrific job of bouncing back in less than a week’s time.
Baltimore set team records in total yards (548), and rushing TDs (5), as well as tying the franchise-best mark of 48 points. "I thought all three phases really stepped up: offense, defense, special teams," coach John Harbaugh said. "Maybe the first time all year we put it together in that kind of a fashion. That is encouraging."
For the Bears, after doing a decent job of not getting blown out, they failed to complete their rally, as Green Bay almost let one get away. "The way we started, I felt like we're going to go blow them out by two or three touchdowns," Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said.
With precious opportunities at hand, Chicago continued its theme for the season, shooting itself in the foot and not capitalizing. "Turnovers, penalties, every time it seemed like we got going something bad happened," Bears quarterback Jay Cutler said. "It's something that's happened all year to us. It's hard to be a good offensive team when that happens."
