The Chicago Bears unveiled their 2020 schedule last week, where we learned exactly when they’ll face their 2020 opponents. While the beginning of the season looks favorable, Chicago faces a difficult stretch in the final nine games.
When looking at the second quarter of the Bears’ 2020 schedule, it’s the beginning of a difficult stretch for Chicago, where they’ll face three NFC South teams in the next four games.
The Bears will play two prime-time games in those next four games, including a home matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football and road game against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football. Chicago will also host the New Orleans Saints for the second straight year, which should be a big test for the Bears at the midway point of the season.
Let’s take a look at the Bears’ next four games of the 2020 season, including way-too-early game predictions.
Week 5 | Bears vs. Buccaneers
The Bears will open their second quarter under the lights in a home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football. The last time these two teams met, the Bears routed the Bucs 48-10 behind Mitchell Trubisky’s six-touchdown performance. But these aren’t those same Bucs from two seasons ago. Chicago will face quarterback Tom Brady and the Bruce Arians-led Bucs, which many have pegged for a strong season. This will be an early test for the Bears, but it’s also a game that they certainly have a chance of winning.
Prediction: Buccaneers 17-13
