Checking in on Our 2011 Bears Season Picks

To start the season, our staff writers predicted all 16 Bears games. With the first quarter of the 2011 season in the books, I thought it would be a good time to check in on our predictions and see how close (or how far off) we all are looking at our 2-2 Bears.

DeCon (1-0)

Bart (0-1)

Deez (1-0)

Shea (0-1)

Week 2 – loss at New Orleans

Deez (2-0)

Shea (1-1)

Steiny (2-0)

Week 3 – loss vs Green Bay

Boomer (3-0)

DeCon (2-1)

Bart (0-3) – isn’t this guy supposed to be the site’s handicapping expert???

Deez (2-1)

Shea (1-2)

Steiny (3-0)

Week 4 – win vs Carolina

Boomer (4-0)

DeCon (3-1)

Bart (1-3)

Deez (3-1)

I hate to go all Denny Green, but the BEARS ARE WE THOUGHT THEY WERE.

Or at least they’re who me and Steiny thought they were. We both went 4-0 on our picks.

I’ve got the Bears going 2-2 in their second quarter, with road tests against Detroit, Tampa (in London) and Philadelphia while they should get a break with the lowly Vikings headed to Soldier Field.
