Bears reporters give game-by-game predictions

[Staley Da Bear]

Two other contests were nearly unanimous, with nine of the 10 panelists predicting a win over the Lions Dec. 6 at Soldier Field (except the Chicago Tribune's Brad Biggs) and a loss to the Vikings Dec. 20 in Minnesota (except the Chicago Tribune's Dan Wiederer).


The reporters are split right down the middle 5-5 on two games: against the Buccaneers Oct. 8 in Chicago and versus the Rams Oct. 26 in Los Angeles.


The only member of our panel who predicts that the Bears will start 4-0 is The Athletic's Adam Jahns.


Without further ado, here are the predictions:
