Bold Predictions: Bears vs. Rams

-

The Chicago Bears have been living on the edge all season, this game won’t be any different.

Bold prediction No. 1: The Bears start fast. After weeks of slow starts, Chicago jumps on the Los Angeles Rams early and puts 17+ points on the board in the first half. This team feels overdue for a hot opening, and doing it at home could set the tone for a complete four-quarter performance.

Bold prediction No. 2: Caleb Williams outplays Matthew Stafford. Stafford is a proven veteran, likely the MVP and a Super Bowl winner, but this is January football in Chicago. The cold matters. The moment matters. And this postseason run has the feel of something defining for Williams, even this early in his career.

Bold prediction No. 3: The Bears special teams deliver a game-changing play. Whether it’s a punt return, a blocked field goal, or a perfectly timed fake, something unexpected swings momentum in Chicago’s favor.

Bold prediction No. 4: Colston Loveland remains unstoppable. He eclipses 100 receiving yards again, continuing his emergence as one of the most dangerous weapons on the field.

Final score prediction: This one comes down to the wire.

Bears 27, Rams 26
