LAS VEGAS — If the Westgate SuperBook’s release two weeks ago of point spreads for every NFL game portends how teams will fare, the Bears will be mediocre.
The rudimentary barometer, based on a team winning when it’s favored and losing as an underdog, has been sharp regarding Chicago. Remember, the NFL expanded to a 17-game schedule in 2021.
A year ago, the SuperBook pegged Chicago as a favorite seven times, and it finished 7-10. Two seasons ago, it was favored twice and won three games. In ’21, it was the favorite in four games and won six.
