The Bears enter week 2 undefeated with a 1-0 record after a comeback win against the Titans. This week, they’ll be in the national spotlight as they travel to Houston to face CJ Stroud and the Texans on Sunday Night Football. Here are my three bold predictions for this week 2 matchup.
Bears stop Joe Mixon
Outside of one drive, the Bears pretty much shut down Tony Pollard and the Titans run game. Meanwhile, the Texans rushed for over 200 yards in Week 1 against the Colts, with Joe Mixon accounting for 159 of those yards alone. To succeed, the Bears need to focus on stopping the run, allowing their star-studded secondary to put pressure on Texans QB C.J. Stroud.
Bears offense bounces back
I don’t expect the Bears offense to be perfect, but I do believe they’ll capitalize on some big plays they missed in Week 1. Plus, Caleb Williams is poised for his breakout game on national TV. Sounds like a solid storyline, doesn’t it?
Bears win
Normally, I include a score prediction along with my three bold predictions, but this time, predicting a Bears win feels bold enough on its own, so I’m making it one of the three. Despite being 6.5-point underdogs, I have a feeling the Bears will keep pace with Houston and pull off a huge, season defining win.
