The Chicago Bears are looking to get back to .500 on the season as they take on the Las Vegas Raiders in another 3:25 matchup. Here are some bold predictions, along with my final score pick.
Caleb Williams stays hot
I’m not going to throw stats on this one, but I just feel like Williams puts together another strong performance—this time on the road. Something has clearly clicked between him and Ben Johnson, and they’re starting to build real momentum. No better time to keep it rolling with the bye week coming after Las Vegas. Getting to 2-2 would be huge.
Rome Odunze goes for 100+ yards
Yeah, I think Rome has another big outing. This time, he cracks the 100-yard mark.
Bears defense wins the turnover battle
Last week, the defense thrived on turnovers against Dak Prescott. Expect them to do it again versus the Raiders. With the pass rush still lacking, they’ll need to lean on creating takeaways to even things out.
Ben Johnson dials up another trick play
I think we see another wrinkle this week—maybe even a pass to Caleb Williams. He’s been catching passes in practice, so don’t be shocked if it shows up in the game plan.
Luther Burden makes a splash on special teams
Burden’s opening kick return last week didn’t go as planned, and he admitted to being hard on himself, according to special teams coach Richard Hightower. I expect him to bounce back with a big return this time around.
Tremaine Edmunds nabs another pick
He had two interceptions last week, but I’m calling for another one. Edmunds needs to keep building momentum and not go long stretches without making plays. The confidence is there—I think he cashes in again.
Final Score Prediction:
Bears 23, Raiders 21.
This one will be close, but the Bears need it badly. If they can stop the run, force turnovers, and keep the offense clicking, I think they’ll grind out a win.
