NostraButkus: 5 Bold Predictions for Chicago Bears vs San Francisco 49ers
5. The Chicago Bears will have their best offensive production of the season
The Bears haven’t scored more than 23 points this season. They’ve only scored more than 20 twice. They had 23 against the Indianapolis Colts and 21 last week against the Tennessee Titans. The Bears were an embarrassing Josh Bellamy drop in the end zone away from topping 23 and reaching a new season high, but Bellamy proved he has the hands of a fifth grade peewee football bench warmer who’s only true position is “left out.”
Despite the lack of capable receivers, the 49ers defense isn’t exactly to be confused with the 1975 Pittsburgh Steelers. They give up massive yardage on the ground and have been giving up points in bunches. The Bears will score more than 23. Mark it down.
