Jon Hoefling: Chicago Bears (-2.5)

The two-headed Bears backfield of D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai is just talented enough to give Cincinnati’s bad run defense a headache. This game will be close, but Chicago should pull it wout.

Jordan Mendoza: Chicago Bears (-2.5)

The loss to the Jets couldn’t have been any worse for Cincinnati. Expect the Bengals to respond, but they don’t have enough to stop Chicago from getting back on track.

Tyler Dragon: Chicago Bears (-2.5)

Can the Bears slow down Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins just enough? I think so.

Christopher Bumbaca: Chicago Bears (-2.5)

What people have yet to talk about is that Caleb Williams really has yet to find liftoff in Ben Johnson’s offense. Turnovers are the key for Chicago’s defense and Joe Flacco is wont to throw interceptions. Chicago needs this to keep their momentum.

Lorenzo Reyes: Chicago Bears (-2.5)

I, personally, would stay away from this one. The Bengals gave away last week’s game against the Jets in the fourth and the Bears regressed. That said, I’m going to treat Chicago’s loss as more of an aberration, so I’ll tentatively back them here.

Blake Schuster: Chicago Bears (-2.5)

Joe Flacco is day-to-day with a shoulder injury and it’s already clear the Bengals’ offense can’t function well without him. I’ll take Chicago in a bounce-back spot.
