Arizona Cardinals vs. Chicago Bears Odds had the Bears at -3 across the board.  This one opened at -3.  Around 60 percent of the action was going the Cardinals way on the spread.  85 percent of the public backing was on the +115 money line at Sports Interaction.

Last year, the Cardinals were one of the league's best home teams, but struggled mightily on the road. The script has completely flipped this season. Arizona has yet to lose on the road (3-0) but is just 1-3 at home.  It will be mild on Sunday afternoon so weather will not be a factor here.

The Scouts.com Position Advantage gives the edge to Arizona in all categories except Special Teams. 

From Scout.com:

"The Cardinals are very aggressive on defense. They play fast and attack downhill. Arizona does not have a threatening edge rusher at outside linebacker in their 3-4, but they are a heavy blitz team and get sack production from a number of sources. Chicago LT Orlando Pace is a shell of what he used to be and Cutler's blindside edge protection is a real concern.

"Chicago has been inept on the ground and Arizona has been superb in defending it -- with the exception of Week 8 against Carolina . The Bears' Matt Forte isn't running nearly as hard as he did during his rookie season, but he did have a promising showing against Cleveland in Week 8."

The Bears beat Arizona the last time they met in 2006 by a single point.  Just to show how things have changed since then, Arizona was a +12 ½ home dog in that game.
