The crippled Los Angeles
Rams are favored to whip the
Green Bay Packers today and

ner-up Chicago Bears by a half-
game in the Western Division, is
a 6V2 point choice although star
pass catchers Bob Boyd and El

&ot play. Tom Fears, the other
top Ram receiver, also is hurt
but will play' in the Memorial
Coliseum contest which will
draw at least 75,000 fans.

chance to catch Los Angeles, are
7'2 point favorites for their
regular season wind-up against
the Philadelphia Eagles at Chi
cago.
