San Francisco vs Chicago Game Preview
Why San Francisco Will Win
Can Chicago complete a forward pass?
The Bears were able to grind it out well against Tampa Bay’s No. 1 run D, the offensive line got Justin Fields beaten up – again – Fields was awful, the receivers were awful, and the 38-3 would’ve been even more awful if Tom Brady wasn’t just okay – for him.

The Niners are okay against the run. They’re allowing over 100 yards per game, but they should bend without breaking against a Chicago attack that has yet to throw for 200 yards.

Turnovers are an issue, the passing game isn’t strong enough, and now it’s about to meet a Chicago defense that’s going to carry the day yet again just when it seems like the whole thing is about to be blown up.
