Chicago Bears 2020 schedule predictions: Picking every game
Weeks 5-8
The Bears end up in a shootout with Tom Brady’s Buccaneers, but Tampa Bay simply has too many weapons for Chicago to deal with. Brady leads another game-winning drive, hitting Rob Gronkowski for the go-ahead score in the fourth quarter.
The Bears find a way to limit Christian McCaffrey, which basically takes away the whole Carolina offense in one shot. This is a game that Chicago has to win and they take it home in a 28-10 blowout.
The Rams are a shell of what they were two years ago and the Bears take full advantage. This contest is more of a defensive struggle and Chicago has the edge there, leading to a close victory.
The New Orleans Saints are one of the best teams in football and they demonstrate why in a complete performance against the Bears. An all-around effort from the Saints makes this game a blowout.
Weeks 9-13
This game morphs into a defensive battle that Tennessee controls by running the football. Derrick Henry gets fed the ball early and often as the Titans slip by the Bears 23-20.
These two teams will be jockeying for second place in the NFC North, and the Bears secure at least a season split by winning in Minnesota for the third straight year. Eddy Pineiro nails a pair of clutch field goals to help Chicago win 20-17.
Week 11: BYE
The Bears have dropped four straight games at Lambeau Field entering this season and Green Bay makes it five here. The Packers’ defense plays a huge role, forcing Trubisky into a few key turnovers.
The Lions didn’t have Matthew Stafford for either of their matchups with the Bears last season, and he makes a huge difference in this game. Stafford outduels Trubisky as Detroit wins by a touchdown.
