Chicago Bears: 3 Bold predictions versus the Chiefs

The Chicago Bears are out of the playoffs but still have two games yet to play. A split would leave them at .500 on the season. Two victories would give them a winning season though and is what this team needs to strive for to finish out the season.

This Chicago Bears team has been frustrating to watch. Despite their struggles, they have kept every game relatively close all year except for one. One or two plays that went their way in each game could have left this team in a very different place than it is now.

Over the last two years, the Bears have only lost one game by more than 10 points. That game was this year when the Bears lost by 11 to the New Orleans Saints. Many are writing this game off versus the Chiefs as a guaranteed loss, but more than that, most believe this game is going to be a complete blowout by the Chiefs.

The Chiefs are currently third in offensive DVOA. They have essentially been top five all season. The Bears defense is not putting up as many of the flashy numbers (sacks turnovers and touchdowns) as it did last season, but the defense is still a top-five defense this year.

Over the last two weeks, the Bears have faced off against the Cowboys and Packers. The Cowboys are second overall in offensive DVOA and the Packers are sixth. Yet the Bears beat the Cowboys 31-24 and lost to the Packers 21-13. Neither scream blowout and this is why I do not believe the Chiefs find a way to change that narrative on Sunday night. The Chicago Bears might not be great this year, but they are still a good team.

This brings me to my three bold predictions for Sunday.
