According to the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook, the Chicago Bears opened the 2018 season with the worst odds to win the NFC North, at 12-1.
The over/under for wins was set at 6.5.
And their Super Bowl odds were 80-1.
While the prospects of a Super Bowl are still a ways off – you can get them at 16-1 as of this writing – it's fair to say the Bears dramatically overcame the odds this season on their way to clinching the NFC North on Sunday with a win against the rival Green Bay Packers.
But how did the Bears get to that spot?
