vs. Tennessee Titans

It’s really difficult to pinpoint the Titans. At times they look really good and at others they just seem to fall apart. Marcus Mariota is an emerging young quarterback. He has a power running game to lean on led by Demarco Murray and Derrick Henry and a sturdy offensive line. The problems for them lay on defense. They’re giving up 25 points and 260 passing yards per game. Perhaps the weather will lend a hand here but it feels like this must be a game where Jay Cutler and the offense lead the way.

Result:  Win

vs. San Francisco 49ers

Everybody remembers how disappointing the loss was last year to Blaine Gabbert and the 49ers. Safe to say this team is way worse. The Bears will be eager for payback. San Francisco is in a bad way defensively. Since losing NaVarro Bowman they’re giving up an absurd 193 rushing yards per game. That should mean a huge day for Jordan Howard who is well on his way to 1,000 as a rookie. If the defense can keep Colin Kaepernick from scrambling too much this is a game they should win by a considerable margin.

Result:  Win
