I do want the Rams to win, but I think I still have a little of that dark cloud of pessimism hanging around from all the years of failure. Plus, I think the Bears and Trub are both very good teams. The Bears need to have a signature win for this season, and this is the game, and the setting, for that. I also wonder if the Rams might have a little bit of stepping off the pedal since they've clinched the Div.

For what its worth, one of my football buddies at work, a hardcore sports guy, thinks the Rams are going to roll Shy Town. He had zero doubts and was surprised that I told him I was picking Chicago to win this.
