Bears season prediction

[WyoChris]

Where do you think the Bears will end up at the end of the season?

I think their 4-1 record is deceiving.... they are a horrible football team (with the exception of thier defense) and I see a lot of losses coming thier way in the next few weeks.

[james_walleye]

9-7

[mixxedbagg]

Da Bears got the division. They have solid defense, Hester, and lousy division rivals. I'll give them 10-6 and they'll find a way to win one round in the playoffs...but they aren't conference champion material.

[FISHINGURU]

The Bears are putrid, they will fall apart shortly.

[fishersofmen]

Agreed. Their luck is about to run out.

[Musky Buck]

If the Pack wasn't so beat up I'd lean that way but I think the bears can win the division, they are fairly shaky and play inconsistently a lot, too much too often.

[walleyeking19]

8-8. they should've lost to the lions...wait they did lose to the lions. that rule is stupid. The packers should've beat them. They'll fall apart in the next couple games

[greebs]

well, let's see. this is the bears that beat the vikes late last year plus they have peppers and urlacher so seems they might be a little better than last year and have the head start on the rest of the division with only one loss. If everything falls into place, don't think 11 - 5 is out of the question. I'll guess 10 - 6 though provided they have good luck with health.

[mixxedbagg]

Right. They only need to go 6-5 for the rest of the season to reach 10-6. That's not exactly a stretch. Now, predicting 4-7 for the rest of the season....that's out on a limb if you ask me.

Got a 12 pack of Grain Belt Premo on them winning the division. Lions aren't going to, Packers are going to the infirmary before the play-offs, and the Vikes, well, we stink this year.

And yes, I am a Vikings fan. At least my most hated team the Packers have an excuse- I can't remember a team having such bad luck with injuries.

This year in the NFL has been a goofy one, really no stand out teams, I mean the Chiefs were the last undefeated team, that says something

[fishersofmen]

Is Jay Cutler the worst QB in the league right now? Wow this guy has absolutely zero disciplin. 4 interceptions to the same guy! Did he think Hall was on his team?

Sad thing for Bears fans is they would have easily won this game with even an average QB.

[LMITOUT]

Cutler being Cutler. He just might overtake Favre's INT record some day, but Favre is trying hard this season to pad that stat.

[FISHINGURU]

The Bears are who we thought they were.

[greebs]

then again, maybe they aren't who many here thought they were. they sure don't look like a team that anybody is going to be scared to play but there they are in first place.

[FISHINGURU]

They are a mediocre team with a good schedule. The only half way decent team they beat was the Fudge.

[Steve Foss]

The Bears are benefitting from a pretty easy schedule. In the end, that's small consolation to other division rivals if the Bears win the division and the other rivals miss out on a Wildcard berth.

Go Pack!

[flipper]

I think da Bears will only win one more game maybe two. The two easiest teams they have left are Detroit and Minnesota.

[FISHINGURU]

Up to this point they might of had the easiest schedule in the NFL.

Teams they beat,

Lions

Cowboys

Packers

Panthers

Vikes

Bills

Dolphins

Teams they lost to,

Giants

Seahawks

Redskins

Only teams they've played worth talking about so far this season would be Packers and Giants. It will be interesting to see what their record will be after the rest of the season. The upcoming schedule is,

Eagles

Lions

Patriots

Vikings

Jets

Packers

[mixxedbagg]

All their NFC north games are on the road, everything outside the division is at home--not sure how to weight that fact.

Regardless, all they need to do is break an even 3-3 in their last 6 to make my 10-6 prediction correct. That's not looking too unrealistic anymore...

[flipper]

I was surprised to see them beat the Eagles. It is very possible that they will win our division. Who would have thunk it.

[FISHINGURU]

Ol Zamboni predicted it!!

[greebs]

surprised too that they beat the iggles. ol' bitter beer face looked pretty good out there today but I don't expect that he will continue with consistent good play. They've got a tough stretch facing them and could potentially lose all of them. I'm sticking with my 10 - 6 prediction though.

[mixxedbagg]

I'm UPPING my 10-6 prediction to 11-5! The defense didn't have their best showing, but they're definitely NOT putrid and I can't see them going 1-3 for the rest of the season, even with a tough schedule from here on out.

Well, tough except for the week following the Pats...

Regarding my prediction, I think their losses come to the Patriots and sadly, the Packers.
