Week 14 – December 13 vs Redskins
Is the RGIII era over in DC? He hasn’t been the same since that magical rookie season. The Redskins roll into Soldier Field and roll out with a loss. WIN
(6-7)
Week 15 – December 20 @ Vikings
Just when the Bears were starting to pick up steam, they stub their toe with a trip to Minnesota. If the Vikings can get a little help for Teddy Bridgewater, Mike Zimmer will have this team on the rise. LOSS
(6-8)
Week 16 – December 27 @ Tampa Bay
This game harkens back to the old days of the NFC Central when the Bears would head down to Tampa every year. The Bears take it to Lovie Smith yet again. WIN
(7-8)
Week 17 – January 3 vs Lions
The Bears have a chance to finish up the season at .500, but they’re just not able to close out on a winning note against the Lions who will have something to play for. LOSS
(7-9)
So I have the Bears going 7-9 in John Fox’s first season of the rebuilding project. Keep in mind, Fox has taken over teams in worse shape and turned them around and had them in the Super Bowl the second season. Things looking up for the Bears in 2016.
What do you think? Can the Bears be a winning team in 2015? Which games did I pick incorrectly? What’s your prediction for the Bears record?
