They’re still 50:1

I was at Bally’s this afternoon.


This trade was HUGE but the Bears are probably a year or 2 away from being serious contenders. In the NFL anything can happen though.


Definitely.

I think they’ll be in contention for a playoff spot in December. I just don’t understand some of the reports that their odds changed drastically. They’ve been 50:1 for a couple months and nothing has changed. Still at 6.5 wins too.

From SI.com
The Bears received a significant boost in their Super Bowl odds on Saturday, going from 100–1 to 40–1, per Westgate Las Vegas's Jeff Sherman.


That’s one bookmaker.

I had them at 5-11 before the Mack deal.

Now I say 9-7.

Why are people picking the Bills to beat the Bears? The Bills are just terrible.

Away game against an opponent that plays above their ability just before a pair of divisional matchups.

Good chance the Bills don't score a TD against the Bears. Would be fuckin hilarious if they lost that game.

It sucks that the preseason losses will be the only blemish on the record

You’re thinking too much. Bills suck. Bears win.

Prior to the trade, I had the Bears improved to 6-10.
I'm flipping that to 10-6

I don't see a loss on the schedule unless they don't feel up for playing the Patriots

I was at 6-7 wins. Now I'm being cautiously optimistic with 8 or 9 wins...maybe 10 if they get some lucky bounces and a few things to break their way. I'm still moreso excited for the future than this season. I still expect a lot of bumps in the road this year, especially from Mitch. But with the defense the Bears are starting to put together, given just adequate quarterback play and relative health, this team could be scary good in 2019, 2020, and maybe (hopefully) beyond.
