In the midst of their two-game losing streak, the Bears have experienced a loss of identity.
Sitting at 3-3 after their 36-25 loss to the Saints on Sunday, the sense of stability surrounding the Bears has diminished greatly in recent weeks. Their offense has sunk to new lows, failing to top 300 total yards in any game so far this year. Add that to an uncharacteristically poor performance from their defense, and the hype surrounding the team has significantly dwindled since the beginning of the year.
This cold streak has seen the country lose trust in the Bears as a potential playoff contender, and that mistrust has been reflected through the opinions of bettors and bookies.
