Bears vs. 49ers Odds
Game Preview
The Chicago Bears had a miraculous comeback against the Packers, winning 22-16, and taking over the top spot in the division against their archrivals. Caleb Williams danced when it mattered the most, throwing for 250 passing yards and two touchdowns.
Running backs were solid, providing 150 yards on the ground, and just to add that the Bears are No.2 in the league in rushing, with 151.7 yards per game.
The 49ers have had unbelievable injury problems this year, but they are among the best teams in the NFC. Kyle Shanahan’s brilliant mind shines again. The Niners have 5 wins in a row, and are very offensive-minded.
Five of the last 7 games played went OVER, and, just to remember, in all five of their previous wins, San Francisco also covered the spread, which tells us enough about their confidence.
Bears vs. 49ers Head to Head
After 70 encounters, the Niners have a slight edge, 36-33-1. Their previous game was last year, when the 49ers beat the Bears, 38-13 at Levi’s.
Bears vs. 49ers Predictions
The Chicago Bears have been on fire, that’s a fact, but we are more than sure that the 49ers are something they haven’t encountered in the recent past. They’ve beaten the Packers, but without Parsons and Love, and even that was lucky. That’s why we pick the hosts to triumph and cover the spread.
