Week 14:  vs. Los Angeles Rams

On paper, this looks like the most formidable roster the Bears will face in 2018. The Rams went 10-6 last year and have since added Marcus Peters, Aqib Talib, Ndamukong Suh and Brandin Cooks to the mix. That’s a lot of proven, dynamic talent to an already good depth chart. It just feels like Chicago won’t have enough to match up with them. Loss (7-6)

Week 15:  vs. Green Bay

The Bears have not beaten the Packers at Soldier Field since 2010. Eight years. It’s been eight years since Chicago got to see Green Bay get beat live. If Matt Nagy wants to really kickstart his run as head coach, ending that streak would be huge. By this time his offense will be more implemented and ready to challenge Rodgers. Win (8-6)

Week 16:  at San Francisco

That 16-15 loss last year really stung, especially since it was Robbie Gould driving the final knife in the heart. Another reminder of how sad it was they had to cut him. Thankfully Nagy didn’t live in that world. His job is to right the wrong and quite frankly the 49ers hype feels overblown. The Bears will prove that by returning the favor in San Francisco. Win (9-6)

Week 17:  at Minnesota

Sometimes the schedule comes down to luck. Having to close the season yet again in Minnesota? That’s rotten luck. The Bears have a had time in Detroit. They have a miserable time in Minnesota. Since 2002 they are 3-13 up north with six-straight losses. The last three all by double digits. It might be closer this time, but asking for a win is too much right now. Loss (9-7)
