The NFL has launched its 2024 schedule, and we’ve discovered precisely when the Chicago Bears will face their upcoming opponents. Chicago will open the season in opposition to the Tennessee Titans, which is able to characteristic Caleb Williams’ Bears debut at Soldier Area.
Along with going through their NFC foes twice, Chicago will play the NFC West and AFC South subsequent season, which incorporates residence video games in opposition to the Los Angeles Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars, in addition to away video games in opposition to the San Francisco 49ers and Houston Texans.
With the Bears ending fourth within the NFC North, they’ll additionally face the same-place finisher within the NFC East and NFC South. With that further seventeenth sport, they’ll host the AFC East same-place finisher.
Under are my early game-by-game predictions for the 2024 season:<\/p>\n

The Bears will open the 2024 season at residence in opposition to the Titans, which supplies quarterback Caleb Williams the proper sport to ease him into his rookie season. Chicago’s new-look offense, additionally that includes Keenan Allen, rookie Rome Odunze and D’Andre Swift, will make its debut below new offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. The Bears protection, coming off a formidable conclusion to 2023, may have a possibility to convey the strain on quarterback Will Levis. It is a must-win sport for Chicago, already.
Prediction: WIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chicago’s first prime-time look is available in Week 2 once they journey to Houston to face the red-hot Texans, led by reigning Offensive Rookie of the 12 months, quarterback C.J. Stroud. This will probably be a must-watch Sunday Night time Soccer matchup between two younger, ascending quarterbacks in Stroud and Williams. However the Bears protection will face an early check about Stroud and his crop of weapons, together with newcomer Stefon Diggs. For now, the Texans get the sting as Stroud outdoes his opposing rookie counterpart.
Prediction: LOSS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus makes his homecoming to Indianapolis as his Bears look to document their first highway win. Chicago’s protection will face a proficient younger quarterback in Anthony Richardson, who missed most of his rookie season attributable to season-ending shoulder surgical procedure. Williams and the Bears’ offense will face a troublesome problem in opposition to this Indy defensive entrance, however they’re capable of pull out a win in an Eberflus revenge sport.
Prediction: WIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bears will host the Rams in Week 4, the place Chicago should take care of Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford. Whereas Los Angeles is with out Aaron Donald following his retirement, there’s nonetheless a wealth of expertise on this roster that the Bears should take care of. Chicago has misplaced three straight to the Rams courting again to 2019. Whereas this can be a sport that Chicago might definitely win, I’m predicting it as an early loss.
Prediction: LOSS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bears get one other crack on the Panthers to point out simply how grateful they’re for final 12 months’s commerce of the No. 1 decide, which resulted within the additions of DJ Moore, Darnell Wright, Tyrique Stevenson and now Caleb Williams. Whereas final 12 months’s sport was a lot nearer than it ought to’ve been — whilst Chicago eked out the win — this is a chance for Williams and the Bears to make an announcement with a convincing win. And it’ll function a pleasant lead-up to Chicago’s journey throughout the pond the next week.
Prediction: WIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bears will host the Jaguars in a global sport in London, introducing the world to Caleb Williams and this younger, ascending group. They’ll face a proficient Jacksonville squad that includes fourth-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence, and we may very well be taking a look at a shoot-out between one other pair of thrilling, younger quarterbacks. This sport might go both means. However when making my early predictions, I had a ceiling for my projected win whole for Chicago, which is why I’ve this labeled as a loss.

Whereas each are proficient, the sting goes to Williams, who has a greater state of affairs in Chicago with an arsenal of weapons and a top-10 protection.
Prediction: WIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bears are again on the highway in opposition to the Cardinals in Week 9. It is a sport that Chicago must win, particularly as they give the impression of being to face in rivalry for the playoffs throughout a neater stretch of the season. Whereas Kyler Murray will current a problem, this protection will as soon as once more rise to the event as Chicago secures a much-needed win.
Prediction: WIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bears will host the Patriots in a battle between top-three rookie quarterbacks, Caleb Williams and Drake Maye. New England’s protection has some expertise, however this is a chance for the Bears protection to make an announcement in opposition to a rebuilding Patriots squad. Chicago has simply opened their window whereas New England is rebuilding — with out Invoice Belichick. The Bears ought to cruise to victory on this sport.
Prediction: WIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chicago gained’t play its first division sport till Week 11, once they host Inexperienced Bay. It’s a rarity: I’m selecting the Bears to beat the Packers. It’s no secret Inexperienced Bay has dominated this rivalry, however the tide has to show sooner or later, proper? Caleb Williams makes a daring assertion in main his squad to their first win over the Packers in six years. It definitely helps that this sport gained’t come within the season opener, as Williams may have 10 weeks below his belt and this offense ought to be clicking on all cylinders. This gained’t be straightforward, however I feel Chicago stuns the NFL world with its first win over Inexperienced Bay since 2018.
Prediction: WIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bears will host the Vikings in one other (possible) matchup between rookie quarterbacks with Caleb Williams and J.J. McCarthy. Whereas this Minnesota group nonetheless has some playmakers, together with most notably Justin Jefferson, this offense will have a look at lot completely different with out Kirk Cousins, who’s now in Atlanta. This is a chance for Chicago to make one other assertion inside the division as they give the impression of being to contend for a playoff spot.
Prediction: WIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

After not enjoying a division sport for 10 weeks, the Bears will face all three NFC North rivals in consecutive weeks, together with a Thanksgiving matchup in opposition to the Lions in Detroit. This marks the sixth time the Bears will play on Thanksgiving since 2014 — and the fifth time in opposition to the Lions. Contemplating Chicago practically swept Detroit final season, there’s no motive to imagine they’ll’t problem the reigning NFC North champions, particularly with an improved roster. It seems like a better assertion with Caleb Williams rising to the event on a nationwide stage.
Prediction: WIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chicago will face the reigning NFC champions, the San Francisco 49ers, in Week 14. The Bears gained the earlier assembly — held in a monsoon in 2022 — however this sport will show to be an enormous check for Chicago and the place they stand within the NFC. The Bears protection will take care of a dominant San Francisco offense, together with weapons like Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle, whereas Chicago’s offense faces a problem in opposition to a proficient 49ers defensive entrance. Sadly, the Bears aren’t fairly on the 49ers stage.
Prediction: LOSS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bears are again on the highway to Minnesota to face the Vikings on Monday Night time Soccer in Week 15. What else is there to say however the NFL loves Bears-Vikings on MNF. Chicago may have performed Minnesota on Monday night time now six occasions prior to now 9 seasons. I feel it’s very doable that the Bears sweep the Vikings. However, as talked about beforehand, I’m not going over my ceiling of wins. As all the time with division contests, it’s anybody’s sport.
Prediction: LOSS<\/strong><\/p>\n

After back-to-back highway video games, the Bears will host the Lions at Soldier Area in Week 16. It’ll mark the second time in 4 weeks that these two groups will sq. off, and it ought to be one other shut battle (identical to in 2023). Chicago ought to’ve swept Detroit final season — and with a worse roster. So it’s not out of the query to imagine that’s a risk, however it’ll be a problem in opposition to this proficient Lions roster. I’m anticipating one other shut sport, the place the Bears might wind up shocking. (Though I’m not selecting Chicago to brush Detroit at this level…no less than not but).
Prediction: LOSS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chicago will conclude its prime-time slate (barring their season finale being flexed into prime-time) in opposition to the Seahawks on Thursday Night time Soccer. It’ll mark a homecoming for Bears offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, who served as Seattle’s OC for the earlier three season. His offense — which will probably be examined by a proficient Seattle protection — will get him a victory in his Seahawks revenge sport within the TNF season finale.
Prediction: WIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’d’ve picked the Bears to interrupt their shedding streak in opposition to the Packers earlier within the season, however I can’t decide Chicago to brush Inexperienced Bay till they show it’s one thing they’re truly able to. There’s a motive the Bears and Packers will shut out the season for the second straight 12 months: This sport might very properly have playoff implications. Heck, it would even be flexed to prime time If that’s the case, the hope is Chicago will rise to the event somewhat than crumble like they did final season in what was a winnable sport.
Prediction: LOSS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prediction: 10-7<\/strong>
It’s far too early to start making critical predictions concerning the 2024 season — particularly as rosters aren’t finalized but. So I attempted my finest to maintain it reasonable and truthful with my predictions at this level of the offseason. Primarily, I landed at my center floor with 10 wins. I imagine the ground is 9 and the ceiling is 11 wins. There are some favorable matchups on the schedule, however there are additionally some tough stretches within the latter half of the season. That features not going through an NFC North rival till Week 11 and enjoying six division video games within the ultimate eight contests. The excellent news: Chicago was at its finest on the finish of final season, together with when the playoffs have been nonetheless inside attain. A powerful begin to the season will serve them properly, particularly as Caleb Williams will get acclimated to his rookie season, and may put them in rivalry for a playoff spot.
