The Chicago Bears are facing a ton of questions following a brutal 24-10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, which highlighted the team’s concerns, particularly on offense.
It was a performance that validated Chicago’s critics who noted that their win-ugly mentality wasn’t sustainable when facing better opponents than they had at the start of the season.
And as the Bears prepare for the New Orleans Saints on a short week, you wonder exactly what this team can do to fix their issues ahead of Sunday’s game against another quality opponent.
So it’s really no surprise that Vegas still isn’t buying into the Bears, which is to be expected considering The Bears have opened as 4-point home underdogs against the Saints, according to BetMGM.
This is the seventh time this season that the Bears have been underdogs. The only game they were favored in was a home game against the New York Giants in Week 2.
The Bears will be facing a Saints squad coming off a 27-24 divisional win over the Carolina Panthers, where they current sit in second place in the NFC South. New Orleans will be looking to keep pace with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a win over the Bears on Sunday. And considering the last time these two teams met in 2019 the Saints were without Drew Brees and Alvin Kamara and still managed to win, it could get ugly on Sunday.
Can the Bears rebound for the second time this season after a loss with a key conference win? Or will the Saints get the best of Chicago for the second straight season?
