The Chicago Bears are set to face the 1-5 New Orleans Saints on Sunday in what could be a statement game for Ben Johnson's team. Coming off an impressive win, Chicago looks to build momentum at home — and I’ve got a few bold predictions for how this one plays out.
Caleb Williams tops 300 passing yards
Believe it or not, Caleb Williams still hasn’t hit the 300-yard passing mark yet this season. Some of that is due to penalties, questionable calls, and drives stalling out at the wrong time. But this feels like the week it finally happens. The Saints secondary has been vulnerable to explosive plays, and with the Bears offense clicking, Williams should have plenty of chances to air it out in front of the home crowd.
D’Andre Swift eclipses 100 rushing yards again
Yes — I’m calling it. Back to back 100-yard games for D’Andre Swift. The Bears offensive line seems to have found its rhythm, and Swift’s recent play fit perfectly behind this rejuvenated unit. Expect a heavy dose of the run early to set the tone.
Rome Odunze goes nuclear
Rome Odunze was robbed of a touchdown last week, but this time, he makes up for it — in a big way. I’m predicting three total touchdowns from the Bears number one WR, marking his breakout performance of the season.
Final Score: Bears 33, Saints 25.
