Three Bold Predictions: Bears vs. Packers

-

The Bears enter week 10 with a 4-5 record following a brutal loss against the New England Patriots. This week, they’ll be in the noon window as they take on the 6-3 Green Bay Packers. Here are my three bold predictions for this matchup.

Bears score a TD in the first quarter.

Here’s my boldest take of the year: Bears score a TD in the first quarter. The Packers won’t know what to expect from the Bears new offensive coordinator, Thomas Brown, and the fresh approach he might bring this week. With that in mind, I believe Caleb Williams will play with more freedom and take some risks. Could that result in mistakes? Absolutely. But I also think the Bears will find the end zone this week—a welcome sight for fans who haven’t seen a touchdown in nearly a month.

Kyler Gordon pick-six.

Kyler Gordon made his return to the Bears secondary last week, but I believe he’ll make an even bigger impact this week. Jordan Love has been prone to interceptions, including two pick-sixes this season. I’ve got a feeling—call it a Spidey sense—that Gordon will snag one this week. I can’t predict exactly when or how, but it feels like it’s coming.

Matt Eberflus has a successful challenge.

The Bears have struggled with challenges all season. Sometimes they hesitate to throw the flag, while other times they challenge plays that seem unlikely to be overturned. However, this week at home, I believe they’ll handle the process correctly, and it could make a big difference in this game.

Final score prediction.

Packers 27 Bears 24

On the BFR Podcast, part of Sports Mockery’s Bears show, I predicted a more decisive win for Green Bay. However, I think the Bears will fight hard and keep this game close—maybe it’s the “interim coach bump,” but for the offensive coordinator. I hope I’m wrong, though, and would love to see the Bears improve to 5-5 and finally beat Green Bay.

Not so much a prediction as fact, but I predict anyone wearing bears helmet will poop his pants as soon as he sees GB helmet. Death, taxes, and Bears players pooping their pants vs GB

1) Regardless of the outcome Erik Lambert will demand the immediate firing of Eberflus

2) If Williams throws for over 200 yds and a touchdown, no matter how many attempts, sacks, picks or fumbles he also has, Lambert will declare that he has proven himself worthy of being picked 1st overall

3) Irregardless of the pass block win rate, if Caleb gets sacked more then once, Lambert will demand Poles also be fired for not picking linemen with the picks that he didn’t have because Lambert demanded he draft Williams

Dave: California dreaming on such a winter’s day. Stopped into a graveyard along the way…saw a bunch of Bears angels…I know they’re going to stay…27-24 would be a welcomed moral victory. But some negative, two-faced traitor, who calls himself a Bears fan, recently predicted on this site, a terrible 42-7 loss. I say he is wrong!

My 3 not so bold because all Bears fans know it predictions;

  1. We will take at least 3 stupid penalties on offense, delay of game, formation, motion etc. likely at crucial moments.
  2. Flus will choke on clock management and/or stupid challenges or no challenges.
  3. Packers are a dirty team, they will take cheap shots at CW and our receivers and be gifted with no calls on PI and QB hits.
