Hello, Chicago Bears fans!\u00a0 Well, coming off that thrilling and unbelievable game against the Cincinnati Bengals, what do our WCG contributors think will happen in the upcoming game of the Chicago Bears vs. the New York Giants at noon on Sunday?\u00a0 Some of our contributors see a fairly comfortable win for the Beloved, while others foresee a classic trap game, though we all see the Bears ultimately prevailing.\u00a0 Will it be a tight slog all the way to the end, or will the Bears get out early and stay there?\u00a0 The New York Giants are in disarray. There are rumors that head coach Brian Daboll has one, perhaps two feet out the door already, and they\u2019ve lost two of the more dynamic players on offense to season-ending injuries in Malik Nabers and Cam Skattabo.\u00a0 \u00a0So here is what we think is going to happen this Sunday at Soldier Field as the Bears take on the Giants:<\/p>\n
GOOCH:\u00a0 34-17, Bears over the Giants.\u00a0 While I understand the concerns that the Bears may suffer a let down in this game, as they\u2019ll be without T.J. Edwards and their secondary remains banged up, and Jaxon Dart has looked good in his short number of starts, there is just too much to overcome here for a reeling Giants team that has secured only two victories on the season and suffered an epic 4th quarter collapse against the Broncos.<\/p>\n

While the Bears know a thing or two about epic 4th quarter collapses, this depleted Giants team just doesn\u2019t have enough to compete with the Bears in a road game.\u00a0 Caleb Williams takes four sacks, and Brian Burns lights up second-year left tackle Theo Benedet, but he also throws for over 300 yards and 3 touchdowns in another victory for the Bears.\u00a0 Rome Odunze gets back on the board with a TD and goes over 100 yards in receiving.\u00a0 The Bears pound the rock again with Monangai, as he goes over 100 yards rushing and gets a passing TD from Caleb.\u00a0 On defense, the Giants put up a lot of yards in the air, but stall out in the red zone repeatedly.\u00a0 Austin Booker notches another sack.\u00a0\u00a0 For once, Chicago Bears fans do not have to hold their breath at the end of a game.<\/p>\n
Josh: 31-28 Chicago. Dart lights up a depleted Chicago defense early while Caleb struggles, but Ben Johnson wins the war of halftime adjustments, and the team that has learned how to win the ugly ones pulls through at the end.<\/p>\n
Jack R Salo: 16-9 Chicago. I think we see the pendulum swing back for both the Bears\u2019 offense and defense. The offense put up 47 on a terrible Bengals defense. The Giants aren\u2019t the Bengals. The Bears\u2019 defense probably looks a lot better here against a rookie quarterback and an offense missing their two best playmakers. Pray for the Soldier Field concessions workers, because there probably won\u2019t be much to keep fans in their seats here.<\/p>\n
Sam: 27-21 Chicago. I don\u2019t feel great about it, but the Giants are depleted, 0-5 on the road and headed for a rough offseason. That said, we know the Bears can get gashed on defense and Jaxon Dart can ball. I don\u2019t know if a 6-point win is comfortable, but I don\u2019t think this is a super stressful finish this week.<\/p>\n

Lester: With the forecast potentially sloppy (wind\/rain\/snow), the Bears win 24 to 13 in another game that features the Bears\u2019 rushing attack. I can see 200+ yards on the ground and some schemed up easy completions for Caleb as he has another efficient afternoon.<\/p>\n
Gary: 27-17 Bears, another very good game on the ground from the combo of Swift and Monangai (or just Monangai if Swift can\u2019t go), Caleb Williams has a 200+ yard day with a couple of touchdowns, whether those are receiving touchdowns or not, I\u2019ll let fate decide. The defense forces a couple of turnovers off rookie mistakes from Jaxson Dart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hello, Chicago Bears fans!\u00a0 Well, coming off that thrilling and unbelievable game against the Cincinnati Bengals, what do…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":511394,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2070],"tags":[7240,374,1483,232,1036,692,391,2493,256,7,519,31827,4126,56,6,2495,7402,3394,1799,42677],"class_list":{"0":"post-511393","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago-bears","8":"tag-austin-booker","9":"tag-bears","10":"tag-brian-burns","11":"tag-broncos","12":"tag-caleb-williams","13":"tag-chicago","14":"tag-chicago-bears","15":"tag-chicagobears","16":"tag-cincinnati-bengals","17":"tag-football","18":"tag-giants","19":"tag-jaxon-dart","20":"tag-malik-nabers","21":"tag-new-york-giants","22":"tag-nfl","23":"tag-rome-odunze","24":"tag-t-j-edwards","25":"tag-the-bears","26":"tag-the-giants","27":"tag-theo-benedet"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115518517088607351","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=511393"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511393\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/511394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=511393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=511393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=511393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
