Bears 24 Carolina 19
OK…No one is taking my predictions to the Vegas and making money…
Not only was I totally wrong on the Bears last week, but as soon as I posted on how hot the cubs were they have lost 8 of 9 and my doomsday speculation about the cardinals has landed them 3.5 games out of the playoff race.
Hopefully my predictions aren’t all wrong, because this week I have the Bears winning. I don’t think it will be easy. A couple things to note…
-The Bears Defense looked great on the first game of last season against the Chargers and then went down hill. They looked great against Indy, but can they continue it…?
-The Carolina Panthers are always a competitive team and pulled off a huge upset in Week 1 themselves against the Chargers.
-Key to the game has to be the same as against Indy. Bears HAVE to stop the run and get some pressure on the QB. Carolina has a tandem of Running Backs that outgained Ladianian Tomlinson last week.
