“Bear Bets” are real wagers that Chris “The Bear” Fallica is actually making.

We’re on to Week 16 in the NFL, and I’ve got my eyes on one game in particular.

For those new to this space, if you are looking for a few wagers to get in on the NFL action, I have you covered. Nothing makes football better than having a few bucks on the games weekly.

Let’s dive into this week’s best bet.

RECORD
Last Week: 0-0
Season: 17-18

Rams @ Jets (1 p.m. ET, Dec. 22, CBS)

This feels like a good spot for the Jets. Since the no-show in Arizona, they have competed pretty hard. Yes, they gave games away against the Colts, Seahawks and Dolphins before beating Jacksonville last week, but at least the offense finally played a complete game and Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams rekindled all the feels. Now they get a dome team from a warm weather city coming to the northeast. And the weather will very likely be cold on Sunday afternoon. The Rams are in the middle of a division title race, but after winning a bunch of coin-flip games in a row — including a 12-6 thriller last Thursday in San Francisco — this could be a very tricky game to navigate.

PICK: Jets (+3) to lose by fewer than 3 points, or win outright
