The Chicago Bears are set to face the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday in the second to last game of the 2023 season. Now, let me share my three bold predictions for the upcoming game.
Justin Fields will impress not just the Bears front office but the Falcons
If the Bears decide to part ways with Justin Fields in the off-season, it’s widely speculated that his most likely destination would be Atlanta. This choice makes sense due to it being his hometown, the Falcons ongoing search for a franchise quarterback, and the potential mutual benefit of a trade. Considering these circumstances, it’s anticipated that Fields will approach the upcoming game with added motivation to impress not only the Bears but also the Falcons front office. I can see him delivering a standout performance, showcasing his skills both in passing and running. While it might be challenging to surpass his performances against the Broncos and Commanders, this week presents a great opportunity for him to potentially make this his best game of the season.
The Bears will win by double digits
The Falcons performance has been inconsistent, and when considering their overall performance this season, they don’t appear to be heading in the right direction. The Bears, on the other hand, have a rapidly rising defense that can create turnovers. Additionally, the Falcons starting quarterback, Taylor Heinicke, is listed on the injury report, raising the possibility of their backup even starting. Given these factors and the Bears being at home, it seems likely that they will be able to take care of business this week.
Jaylon Johnson comes away with 2 more interceptions
I am not sure whether this prediction is bold since Jaylon Johnson has already achieved two interceptions in a game this season. But regardless of who plays as the Falcons quarterback this week, Johnson will secure his fifth and sixth interceptions of the season, with the hope that one of them results in a pick-six.
