2020 Bears schedule: First quarter breakdown

Let’s take a look at the Bears’ first four games of the 2020 season, including way-too-early game predictions.

Week 3 | Bears at Falcons

The Bears will face the Falcons for the first time since 2017, where they’ll face an early test on the road in Atlanta. The last time these two teams met, Mike Glennon was making his first start for the Bears. Chicago fell short in that game after Jordan Howard’s dropped pass at the one-yard line in the closing seconds of the game.

Atlanta is coming off a disappointing 7-9 season, which was still good enough for a second-place finish in the NFC South. But the Falcons will still have to contend with the reigning division champion New Orleans Saints and the Tom Brady-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The hope is the Bears can take advantage of a favorable schedule early on, which would include a win over the Falcons.

Prediction: Bears 23-17
