Chicago Bears: 64th season in the NFL
Owner: The McCaskey Family
Head Coach: Matt Eberflus
Home Field: Soldier Field | Chicago, Illinois

Super Bowl Odds: +5200
Odds to win NFC: +2500
Odds to win AFC North: +430

First Things First

Let’s look at Week 1 first. The Chicago Bears are actually favorites at home over the Green Bay Packers. This is more about the Green Bay Packers and not having an experienced quarterback for the opener than it is about the Bears.

Green Bay has had a ton of success against the Bears, so it is difficult to take the Bears here, but they are -3, with a total of 44. The game is expected to be somewhere around 24-21 Chicago.

Other Bears Bets

Here are a few other Chicago Bears bets to look at before we provide the offensive roster for Chicago. If you think the Bears can win their Week 1 game by a touchdown, you can grab them at +450. Any win by 7-12 is at +450.

Now looking at some Bears futures…. Big fan? Think they are shocking the world. You can grab Chicago at +5000 to win the Super Bowl. What does that mean? Bet $1 to win $50. Bet $10 to win $500. Bet $100 to win $5000. Those are good odds, but the Bears are not the best team in the NFC.

Okay, so maybe not Super Bowl, but

Win the NFC and lose in the final game: +3000

To lose in the wildcard game: +300
To completely miss the playoffs: +190
Win more than 7.5 games: -130
Win LESS than 7.5 games: +110
Win exactly eight games: +600
Win exactly seven games: +500
Win exactly six games: +600
Win exactly five games: +700

Matt Eberflus is the head coach of the Chicago Bears, and the jury is still out a little bit on how well he will do as a head coach in the league. Luke Getsy is the offensive coordinator, including many years with the Packers. He will be entering his second season with the Bears and 17th overall in the league.

Bears’ Offensive Unit

Eberflus and Getsy will look to get Justin Fields opportunities to use his legs but also put him in a position to succeed when throwing the ball. Throwing the football has been a challenge for Fields so far in his career. P.J. Walker appears to be the backup quarterback this season in Chicago.

At the running back position, the Bears let David Montgomery go, and now D’Onta Foreman appears to be the main guy in charge. Khalil Herbert is still in town but is looking to get over some injuries. Roschon Johnson and Travis Homer are the third and fourth-string running backs for the Bears.

At Wide Receiver – the Bears were super excited to get D.J. Moore from Carolina. He will go along with Chase Claypool as the top two receivers. Darnell Mooney is a good third receiver, and many expect him to have a strong season. If you are looking for backups, Equanimeous St. Brown, Dante Pettis, and Velus Jones Jr are the guys on the roster as of now.

The tight end position is Cole Kmet’s to lose, but bringing Robert Tonyan over from Green Bay could prove to be a huge addition. Tonyan spent many years as a big strong security blanket for Aaron Rodgers with the Packers.

The offensive line hopes to be better. The Bears project starting Braxton Jones, Teven Jenkins, and Cody Whitehair on one side, with Nate Davis and Darnell Wright on the other.

Improvements Needed

A season ago, the Chicago Bears were the worst passing team in all of the National Football League.

The Bears finished with 2,598 passing yards, which was a lot less than Atlanta, who was 31st with 2,927. The Bears threw 15 interceptions, which was only better than six other teams in the league.

Now, it was not all Justin Fields’ fault, as they only attempted 377 passes, which was 38 less than the next lowest, but getting the ball moving via the air was a big-time challenge. Chicago also took 58 sacks, which was the fourth-worst in the league.

Ground Game Got It Done

For the most part, the running game for the Chicago Bears got the job done. This was due in large part to Justin Fields but also David Montgomery.

The Bears finished with 18 touchdowns via the ground, and only six teams were better than that. Chicago averaged 5.4 yards per carry, and many of those were massive chunk gains by the quarterback.

Score the Football

In the end, all the stats are there, but if you do not score the football, you are going to have a tough time winning games.

In 2022, Chicago was near the middle of the pack in total touchdowns, with 37. If the Bears want to be a successful team in 2023, they are going to need to raise that mark. In 17 games, 45 seems like a pretty solid number to hit.

If the Bears can get to 45 touchdowns from their offense in 2023, they will be right there for a playoff spot.
