The PFW Chicago staff shares its predictions for Bears-Patriots at Soldier Field on Sunday:
Hub Arkush: Patriots 34 Bears 27
This has nothing to do with the mess the Bears left on the field at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami last Sunday. They are going to play their best game of the year to arrive at this outcome.
I fear the bottom line here is that Bill Belichick and his Patriots were born to play in these kind of games and they know how to win them better than anybody in the NFL.
They are who the Bears aspire to be, and though the Chicago are off to a better start under Matt Nagy than most anyone expected, have we seen anything to suggest that Nagy is ready to out-coach Belichick, Trubisky has a chance of outplaying Tom Brady or that the Bears are ready to win a game like this?
