The Chicago Bears face the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, looking to avoid starting the season 0-3. Chicago’s defense is banged up and will be without CB Jaylon Johnson, LB T.J. Edwards, and CB Kyler Gordon. That likely means a shootout, putting pressure on Caleb Williams and the offense to keep pace with Dak Prescott and the Cowboys. With that in mind, here are five bold predictions for this must-win matchup.
Caleb Williams throws for 350+ yards
Williams has yet to break the 300-yard mark, but the Cowboys defense is ranked 29th by PFF, while the Bears defense sits at 30th. This feels like the perfect opportunity for him to break out.
Bears defense gives up 30+ points
With so many injuries in the secondary, it’s hard to trust Chicago’s defense. Expect Dallas to have a big day.
Braxton Jones doesn’t allow a sack
After a rough start to the season, Jones delivers a bounce-back performance and his cleanest game yet.
Ben Johnson dials up a trick play
This feels like the week the Bears finally connect on a trick play for a big gain—or even a touchdown.
Rome Odunze tops 100 yards again
Odunze continues his breakout campaign, recording back to back 100-yard games and solidifying his rise up the NFL’s wide receiver ranks.
Score Prediction: Cowboys 31 Bears 30
