The current betting odds have the 49ers listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The 49ers haven't looked good in their games this season with their 5-7 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the NFC West, but that record still has them in the division race with the leading team only being at 7-5 overall. They haven't looked good lately as they have been dealing with injuries and just lost 2 road games in a row in blowout losses, but now they are back at home and will be looking to bounce back where they have been slightly better this season. Meanwhile, the Bears haven't looked good in their games this season with their 4-8 record overall which has them at the bottom of the NFC North and pretty much out of the playoff race. They have 3 teams with 9 wins ahead of them in their own division and the NFC is too competitive for them to really make a Wild Card run. They are coming off a loss to the Lions last week on Thanksgiving and they ended that game in a terrible way as they keep finding ways to lose close games. They just fired their head coach too and have been a complete disaster as a team over the last few weeks. Both of these teams have been heading in the wrong direction lately, but the 49ers still have something to play for here at home as they are in their division race and even with all of their injuries, they still have more talent on their team and the better head coach too. The 49ers will find a way to get the job done here in a must-win game. The best way to place a bet here is on the 49ers to cover the spread in this game.
