7. Chicago Bears
Projected wins: 9.1
Chance to make playoffs: 55.6 percent

Where the team improved this offseason: Running back. This might not be a popular opinion, seeing as how Jordan Howard (traded to the Eagles) rushed for 3,370 yards over three seasons with the Bears. But Chicago's front office did a better job collecting running backs who fit head coach Matt Nagy's scheme, signing veteran Mike Davis and drafting Iowa State's David Montgomery in the third round. Combining Davis and Montgomery with explosive all-purpose threat Tarik Cohen gives the Bears more flexibility and pass-catching ability in the backfield. -- Jeff Dickerson

You could probably find 100 articles that ranked us in the top 10 in the preseason. What is your point??

Dickerson must have been drinking a tall glass of orange Bears Kool-Aid when he wrote the review of the RB position group. Points to the lack of objectivity from the local media who behaved more cheerleaders than actual analysts. Olin and Moon Mullin were the only two guys questioning Nagy before the season.
