Neither the Chicago Bears or Arizona Cardinals have looked primed for a lengthy playoff run of late, but the Cardinals return to Soldier Field on Sunday with a one-game lead in the NFC West and looking to win four straight on the road for the first time in 27 years.

NFL football betting lines have the Bears listed as 3-point home favorites.

Arizona had its three-game winning streak snapped last week with a mistake-filled 34-21 loss to visiting Carolina.

The Cardinals fell to 1-3 at home, surpassing their loss total there from each of the last two seasons. They have been much better away from Phoenix, matching last season’s total of three road victories.

The Bears will attempt to win four in a row at home for the first time since 2006, but they hardly looked dominant last week as they avoided a third straight loss by defeating woeful Cleveland 30-6.
