I really have no idea what to expect. I could see us getting beat handily because Chicago's offense is pretty good with some big receivers and a QB who's hot. I could also see us winning handily due to Chicago's piss poor defense. As usual, I believe it will come down to whomever runs the ball and stops the run better, that team will win the game. Teams seem pretty evenly matched. Vegas agrees.

I feel like we are going to split these next two. No idea which one we win or lose.

Then the season is going to hang heavily on winning in the cold in Washington against a bad team that always plays well against us.

I don't think Philly beats us at home in any way.

This is not the most effective passing offense we've faced this season. We actually have the CBs to match up decently in press coverage against wide-outs. We'll get beat our share on the outside, but it'll be the slants and crossing routes that eat us up. That said, these Bears aren't as strong as the Saints or Broncos or the Lions (back when we played them). They'll get their yardage, for sure, and put up some points. But I see no reason to expect we also won't get our usual share of big plays on defense. We're pretty good at that.

Defensively, they're a mess. We should be able to move the ball on them both on the ground and in the air. This is a team we should be able to beat on the road in a situation where we need a win. Maybe not handily, but we're definitely the better team and definitely have the advantage here.

I'm expecting another game sort of like the Detroit game, only where we're hopefully a little more successful against their wideouts than we were against CJ, and where we've got it easier sustaining drives because they stink on defense.

I think da Bears are a better team overall but not having Cutler's cannon will hinder their pass offense in the inclement weather.

If Carr, O-Scan, and the the rest of the back seven can hold up on the inside on passing downs, Dallas can win. Cowboys 24-10.

I personally feel its going to be a low-scoring game. I actually don't think Marshall and Jeffrey's will be the factor people think. I think Forte is the one who's going to cause problems.

Few NFL teams win handily on the road. That outcome would really shock me, even though this team managed to win in Philly by 2 TDs this season.
All other scenarious seem possible though.

Murray could have abig day, as could Forte.

I think the both teams are equal but I think we have the better quarterback to be honest. That's the edge I give us.

They're big receivers scare me a bit. 6-3 or taller. And don't for get the size of their TE. Our tallest CB Carr is 6-0. Their backup QB is playing very well. I could also see a Lion's type game.

Vegas is giving the Bears a 1-point advantage in that game. Nevertheless, I'll favor our C'boys, 21-20.

Like Terrance Newman once said, "we (corners) have been playing against guys bigger than us our whole life, it's not their height that is the issue"

It's a passing league. Tony just has to outduel McCown. It's that simple. Whoever plays better out of those 2, will win.

Based on our pass defense so far this year, anything to do with the passing game is an issue.

Naw, I don't think so. I think the running game for both will be the deciding factor.

The game will be a shootout with either team winning depending on who has the ball last. It could come down to who gets the most turnovers.
