The Chicago Bears enter week 10 with a 5-3 record after a shootout win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

While Chicago has already matched last season’s win total, it’s been anything but easy. The growth is obvious offensively. That being said, they’ve still got a ways to go. Defensively, they’ve had a difficult time managing the rash of injuries.

The Bears will have to continue finding ways around that as TJ Edwards, Dominique Robinson, and Josh Blackwell are added to the list of players out this week. They did get some help for the line via trade this week. It will remain to be seen how many snaps newly acquired Joe Tyron-Shoyinka will be on the field for. They will have another tricky game on their hands as the New York Giants come to town.

The Giants are 2-7 entering week 10. Despite that record, they are a wild card each week. Their defense has more talent than their record would indicate, specifically their defensive line. This is not a game to take lightly. Their trio of pass rushers could easily turn the tide of this game at any time. Rookie Quarterback Jaxon Dart is playing decent football, but the energy he brings has the Giants believing they can win any game. The Bears need to take this game seriously.

Nick DeMao: Bears 28, Giants 20.

The Giants are a bad road team, and the Bears need to come out firing on all cylinders with the tough part of their schedule coming up. I think Caleb has a nice, sound game with 250+ yards and another two touchdowns. The Great Value version of Detroit’s backfield will continue to look like the brand name, as Kyle Monangai and D’Andre Swift each get a score as well.

Travis Thom: Bears 23, Giants 16

The Bears and  Giants play in the Wind Bowl this week. This should be an ugly game. Give me the Bears’ ground game against the 2nd-worst-ranked run defense.  

Michael Tyspin: Bears 28, Giants 21

I’m expecting another great rushing performance on Sunday against the Giants. They are one of the worst rush defenses in the league and are missing some key players on defense. It’ll be football weather in Chicago, which is a great opportunity to keep feeding Monangai and Swift.

Samir Patel: Bears 27, Giants 21

The Bears seldom have easy games, and I don’t anticipate this one being a cake walk either. The Giants are a feisty team that is quickly seeing their season slip away. That being said, the Bears are looking like a team that knows how to score points and exploit their opponents’ weaknesses. I expect the Bears to be in control for a majority of the game and lead the whole way.

Seth Conklin: Bears 31, Giants 28

The bit of picking against the Bears died against the Ravens. This has 100% potential to be a trap game. The Giants are not a good team this year on paper, but they are feisty. The trio of Abdul Carter, Brian Burns, and Kayvon Thibedeaux could spell disaster for Theo Benedet. Ben Johnson is going to need to scheme up help for him and get the run game going early. If they take this game seriously, they should find a path to victory. I think this is another game where the run game shines.

The Bears have a chance to go 6-3 for the first time since 2018. There have been numerous comparisons to that team throughout the year. I think many fans would be pleased if they could muster a 12-4 record by the end of the year. They’re going to have to keep improving and get healthy for that to be a possibility. Still, a win against the Giants would be a good step in that direction.
