Good morning.
ESPN’s panel of NFL experts is almost unanimous in picking the San Diego Chargers over the Chicago Bears in the Monday Night Football matchup. Only Mike Golic took the Bears.
Pete Prisco of CBS Sports takes the Chargers. Don Banks of Sports Illustrated also likes San Diego.
My take: I’m also taking the Chargers to go into the bye week with some momentum and a win, 28-22.
ESPN NFL Nation Bears beat reporter Bears Jeff Dickerson writes that with Matt Forte dealing with a knee injury, Chicago is preparing rookie Jeremy Langford to start against the Chargers.
