What is the points spread in the Bears and Cardinals game? The Bears are 6 point favorite against the Cardinals. The over/under for this game is 36.5 points.
Both of these teams have not played well of late. The Bears still have a chance to make the playoffs but can not afford to lose this week to the Cardinals. Normally that would not seem to be a problem considering Cardinal quarterback Ryan Lindley has 6 interceptions and 2 fumbles to 0 touchdowns but the Bears are 1-5 in their last six games after staring the year 7-1.
