Saturday night at Soldier Field will wrap up a trilogy between Chicago and Green Bay. The energy in Chicago should be electric, and everything about this matchup screams historic. Here are my bold predictions for the Wild Card matchup.
Bold Prediction No. 1: Colston Loveland goes nuclear again. The rookie tight end has become a matchup nightmare, and this feels like another statement game. Look for Loveland to clear 90+ receiving yards, attacking the seams early and often as the Bears set the tone offensively. His chemistry with Caleb Williams continues to grow, and Green Bay has yet to show a clean answer for him.
Bold Prediction No. 2: The Bears jump on the Packers early. Ben Johnson understands the importance of grabbing momentum at home in a playoff environment, and the opening script should reflect that urgency. Expect tempo, aggression, and early points to keep Soldier Field loud from kickoff through the final whistle.
Bold Prediction No. 3: Jordan Love throws a pick-six. Something about this matchup feels right for a defensive touchdown. Whether it’s pressure forcing a late throw or a misread in coverage, the Bears capitalize with a game-changing takeaway.

Bold Prediction No. 4: Caleb Williams delivers yet another fourth-quarter comeback—his seventh of the season. In a tight, high-stress playoff game, Williams poise shines again. Iceman.
This one comes down to the wire, but the Bears make the final play.
Final Score Prediction: Bears 24, Packers 23.
