Bears open as 7.5-point underdogs vs. Vikings in Week 17

Vegas, like many others, aren’t feeling confident in the Bears’ chances to get a win over the Vikings in their season finale.

The Chicago Bears (7-8) will head to Minnesota to face the Vikings (10-4) in their season finale next Sunday, and these teams couldn’t be headed in more opposite directions.

While the Bears are headed home, missing the playoffs for the eighth time this decade, the Vikings are headed to the postseason, along with division rivals Green Bay.

The Vikings face the Packers Monday night with a chance to win the NFC North, if they win out and the Packers lose out, so next Sunday’s meeting could have playoff implications for the Vikings.

The Bears, however, are left searching for answers after another embarrassing loss, this time to the Kansas City Chiefs, where Chicago’s offense couldn’t manage a touchdown in a 26-3 loss in their home finale.

While the Bears dealt the Vikings a brutal defeat back in Week 4, these aren’t the same teams that met back in September.

With the Bears reverting back the struggles that have defined their season, Vegas isn’t confident in Chicago’s chances against Minnesota.

The Bears have opened as 7.5-point underdogs against the Vikings, according to BetMGM.

After their playoff hopes were dashed, Chicago will have plenty of questions to answer heading into an important and busy offseason.

Bears open as 4.5-point underdogs vs. Chiefs in Week 16

With the Bears reverting back the struggles that have defined their season, Vegas isn’t confident in Chicago’s chances against the Chiefs.

The Chicago Bears (7-7) will host the Kansas City Chiefs (10-4) in their final home game of the season, and these teams couldn’t be headed in more opposite directions.

With the Bears officially eliminated from playoff contention, the Chiefs have repeated as AFC West Champions and in firm control of their playoff destiny. That, and they have their franchise quarterback in Patrick Mahomes. The Bears, however, still don’t know what they have in Mitchell Trubisky, even though he’s looked better over the last month.

The big stories of this matchup will clearly be Trubisky vs. Mahomes, as well as Matt Nagy vs. Andy Reid, as Nagy will face his former mentor for the first time in the regular season.

While the Bears offense looked to have made strides against the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys, they resembled the offense in the beginning of the season in Sunday’s loss to the Green Bay Packers.

With the Bears reverting back the struggles that have defined their season, Vegas isn’t confident in Chicago’s chances against Kansas City.

The Bears have opened as 4.5-point underdogs against the Chiefs, according to BetMGM.

After their playoff hopes were dashed, Chicago is left playing for pride in these final two games of the season.

Bears open as 2.5-point underdogs vs. Cowboys in Week 14

The Bears are riding a two-game winning streak heading into a Thursday night showdown against the Cowboys.

The Chicago Bears (6-6) are riding a two-game winning streak — and some confidence on offense — heading into a Thursday night showdown against the Dallas Cowboys (6-6).

With the Bears’ slim playoff hopes still alive, they essentially need to win out in their final four games — but that must start Thursday against the Cowboys.

The Bears will be facing off a struggling Cowboys team that has lost three of their last four games and appear to be a team in free fall. Then there’s Chicago that finally found success on offense against the Detroit Lions, and they’ll be looking to prove they can keep that going against the Cowboys.

Even though the Bears are coming off a comeback win over the Lions, Vegas still isn’t as confident in Chicago’s chances against Dallas.

The Bears have opened as 2.5-point underdogs against the Cowboys, according to BetMGM.

Chicago has been favorites in every game they’ve played this season except three — the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9, the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11 and now against the Cowboys in Week 14 — which is surprising considering their struggles this year.

Bears open as 1.5-point underdogs vs. Lions in Week 13

Coming off a victory over the Giants, the Bears are underdogs heading into Thursday’s Thanksgiving matchup against the Lions.

Coming off Sunday’s 19-14 victory over the New York Giants, the Chicago Bears (5-6) will have a quick turnaround before Thursday’s meeting against the Detroit Lions (3-7-1).

This marks the second straight Thanksgiving meeting between the Bears and Lions, which has a different feel this season as the Bears’ struggles have been noticeable.

The Bears will likely be facing off against Lions backup quarterback Jeff Driskel again as starter Matthew Stafford continues to deal with tiny fractures in his back.

In their first meeting this season, the Bears defeated Driskel and the Lions 20-13 behind Mitchell Trubisky’s three touchdowns on Nov. 10.

With all of that and the Bears coming off a win over the Giants, Vegas still isn’t as confident in Chicago’s chances against the Lions.

The Bears have opened as 1.5-point underdogs against the Lions, according to BetMGM.

Chicago has been favorites in every game they’ve played this season except three — the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9, the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11 and now against the Lions in Week 13 — which is surprising considering their struggles this year.

But the fact that the Lions are only 1.5-point favorites doesn’t indicate much confidence from Vegas, as home teams are usually afforded a three-point advantage.

Bears open as 6.5-point favorites vs. Giants in Week 12

The Bears are coming off a deflating 17-7 loss to the Rams, but Vegas has confidence that Chicago can beat the Giants in Week 12.

The Chicago Bears (4-6) return home where they’ll face the New York Giants (2-8), where the Bears will be looking to rebound after a deflating loss against the Los Angeles Rams (6-4).

This will be the second season in a row that the Bears will play the Giants, as the two teams squared off last year at MetLife Stadium. The Giants beat the Bears 30-27 in overtime, as Chicago was without starting quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.

Which might end up playing out once again, as Trubisky suffered a hip injury against the Rams on Sunday night. While the severity of the injury isn’t known, it wouldn’t be a surprise if we get another Chase Daniel vs. Giants game, which hopefully wouldn’t play out as it did last season.

While the Bears are coming off a 17-7 loss to the Rams, Vegas is confident in Chicago’s chances against the Giants.

The Bears have opened as 6.5-point favorites against the Giants, according to BetMGM.

Chicago has been favorites in every game they’ve played this season except two — the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9 and the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11 — which is surprising considering their struggles this year.
