Week 1 picks: Who the experts are taking in Bears vs. 49ers

The Bears will face the 49ers in their season opener. Here’s how the experts feel heading into their Week 1 matchup.

The Chicago Bears kick off the 2022 NFL season against the San Francisco 49ers, which kicks off the Matt Eberflus era.

But these teams couldn’t be any further apart in terms of public perception. The 49ers are expected to contend for the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, many believe the Bears are destined to finish among the worst teams in the league.

This game is happening at the perfect time for Chicago as they’ll face an inexperienced Trey Lance, who’s making his first start as the starter for San Francisco. Justin Fields and the Bears offense will be looking to silence their doubters while Eberflus’ new-look defense will look to make an early statement.

The Bears are 6.5-point home underdogs against the 49ers, according to Tipico Sportsbook. But what do the experts think? Here’s a look:

Week 17 picks: Who the experts are taking in Bears vs. Giants

The Bears are favorites against the Giants. Here’s how the experts feel heading into their Week 17 matchup.

The Chicago Bears will host the New York Giants on Sunday, where Chicago is looking to start off the new year on a positive note with a win in their home finale.

This is easily a winnable game for a bad Bears team against an equally, if not worse, Giants team. It’ll be a battle of the backup quarterbacks as Andy Dalton and Mike Glennon will face off with Justin Fields and Daniel Jones injured.

For once, there’s overwhelming confidence in the Bears to win a game as 96% of experts are picking Chicago to beat the Giants on Sunday, according to NFL Pick Watch. Which isn’t really a surprise given New York will boast Mike Glennon at quarterback heading into Soldier Field.

The Bears are currently 6.5-point home favorites against the Giants, according to Tipico Sportsbook, which makes sense considering the state of both teams at this point.

Can the Bears make it three straight against the Giants? Or will New York get the upset over Chicago?

We’ll see Sunday when the Bears and Giants kick things off at Noon CT on CBS.

Week 16 picks: Who the experts are taking in Bears vs. Seahawks

The Bears are underdogs against the Seahawks. Here’s how the experts feel heading into their Week 16 matchup.

The Chicago Bears will face the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, where Chicago is looking to avoid another four-game losing streak.

This is certainly a winnable game for the Bears, as the Seahawks are struggling themselves. But Chicago has to turn to third-string quarterback Nick Foles as starter Justin Fields and backup Andy Dalton are dealing with injuries.

There’s not a lot of confidence in Chicago in a winnable game as 92% of experts are picking the Seahawks to beat the Bears on Sunday, according to NFL Pick Watch. Which isn’t really a surprise given Chicago has been a disaster and Foles is getting the starting nod.

The Bears are currently 6.5-point road underdogs against the Seahawks, according to Tipico Sportsbook, which makes sense considering the state of Chicago at this point of the season.

Can the Bears find a way to get back in the win column? Or will Seattle send Chicago to another four-game losing streak?

We’ll see Sunday when the Bears and Seahawks kick things off at 3:05 p.m. CT on FOX.

Week 15 picks: Who the experts are taking in Bears vs. Vikings

The Bears are underdogs against the Vikings. Here’s how the experts feel heading into their Week 15 matchup.

The Chicago Bears will face the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football, where Chicago is looking to avoid another three-game losing streak.

The Bears are coming off a brutal loss to the Green Bay Packers, where Chicago was outscored 24-3 in the second half. This week, the Bears are shorthanded due to COVID-19 and injuries, where it looks like they’ll be without players like left tackle Jason Peters, receiver Allen Robinson and safety Eddie Jackson.

There’s not a lot of confidence in Chicago to pull off an upset as 83% of experts are picking the Vikings to beat the Bears on Monday, according to NFL Pick Watch. Which isn’t really a surprise given Minnesota is competing for a playoff spot while Chicago’s season is all but over.

The Bears are currently 6.5-point home underdogs against the Vikings, according to Tipico Sportsbook, which makes sense considering the state of both teams at this point.

Can the Bears find a way to get back in the win column? Or will Minnesota take advantage of a shorthanded and struggling Chicago?

We’ll see Monday when the Bears and Vikings kick things off at 7:15 p.m. CT on ESPN.

Week 14 picks: Who the experts are taking in Bears vs. Packers

The Bears are huge underdogs against the Packers. Here’s how the experts feel heading into their Week 14 matchup.

The Chicago Bears will face the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football, where Chicago is looking to avoid being embarrassed and swept by Green Bay for the third straight season.

The Bears are coming off a brutal loss to the Cardinals, which featured a four-interception day from Andy Dalton and plenty of struggles from the the defense. The Bears are getting the Packers coming off a week of rest, as if Green Bay needs another advantage in this matchup.

There’s absolutely no confidence in Chicago to pull off an upset as 98% of experts are picking the Packers to beat the Bears on Sunday, according to NFL Pick Watch. Which isn’t really a surprise given the Packers have had the Bears’ number for the last couple of decades.

Chicago is currently 11.5-point home underdogs against Green Bay, according to Tipico Sportsbook, which makes sense given the Packers are the No. 2 team in the NFC and the Bears are one of the worst. Any hope of an upset is going to require flawless football from all phases as Green Bay has made beating Chicago look easy.

Can the Bears avoid being swept by the Packers for the third straight season? Or will Green Bay cruise to another easy win over Chicago?

We’ll see Sunday when the Bears and Packers kick things off at 7:20 p.m. CT on NBC.
