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 third quarter of the Bears’ 2020 schedule, it continues a difficult stretch for Chicago, who will face three playoff teams from a season ago in their next stretch. The Bears also have three divisional games back-to-back-to-back against the Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions.
Let’s take a look at the Bears’ third-quarter games of the 2020 season, including way-too-early game predictions.
Week 9 | Bears at Titans
The Bears kick-off their third quarter with a road contest against the Tennessee Titans, who are coming off an AFC Championship appearance last year. Chicago will have to contend with running back Derrick Henry, who carried the Titans on his back during Tennessee’s postseason run last season. While the Bears have a dominant run defense, they’ll face a test on the road against one of the NFL’s best. This is a game where the Bears defense shouldn’t be expected to win it on their own — they’re going to need some help from Chicago’s offense.
Prediction: Titans 21-20
