Spring is eternal: Super early Bears’ game-by-game predictions for 2018

Like seven round mock drafts that are as accurate as 365-day weather forecasts, predicting an NFL team’s season in April is faulty. The NFL Draft hasn’t happened. Positional battles haven’t been completed. The all-important evolution of players that happens over the course of the meatiest actual on-field part of the off-season hasn’t transpired either.

We’ve already known the Bears’ opponents since the 2017 regular season ended. Why would an official schedule release revealing the exact order of games they play in 2018 change anything? The NFL is a league that’s primarily decided by the talent on the field, and how that talent is prepared and managed by quality coaching (or lack thereof).
