@ Indianapolis Colts (1-2)
If the Bears can’t turn it around against their division rivals in Week 4, perhaps they can try to earn that first win against a struggling Indianapolis Colts team? A lot of experts expected this to be a bounceback season for Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts posted a disappointing 8-8 record in 2015 while missing the postseason.
The Colts are tied for 5th in scoring in the NFL, posting 27 PPG while piling up 371 yards/game. Andrew Luck is putting up a tick over 300 yards per game with six TD’s to just two INT’s while getting sacked nine times in three games. Frank Gore and the Colts running game is underwhelming with just 61.7 yards per game. Between the sacks and lack of a running game, you can infer the offensive line isn’t all that good.
The bigger problem for the Colts is their defense, where they rank 30th in the league giving up over 31 points per game. This could present an opportunity for the Bears offense to finally get it together. Who knows, maybe Jay Cutler will be back. Then again, the Bears defense is hardly much better, allowing nearly 28 points per game.
My advice on this game? Forget picking a winner; bet the OVER!
Completely arbitrary odds of a Bears win? 40%
