Prediction
: The Bears will score 28 points against the Saints.
Comment: The Bears are facing the Saints' outstanding No. 5-ranked scoring defense but feature a more mobile quarterback in Mitchell Trubisky, with Trubisky executing play-action on drop-backs at a rate of an NFL-high 35 percent. The Saints have allowed 11 TDs on play-action this season. The Bears' primary emphasis this week is scoring points in the red zone, where the Saints defense ranks 29th. It should be a fun Drew Brees-Trubisky duel in New Orleans!


Recap of last week: Roquan Smith recorded three tackles before exiting last Sunday's loss to the Packers late in the first quarter with an elbow injury. ChicagoBears.com writer Larry Mayer and former Bears long-snapper Patrick Mannelly came the closest among our panel, predicting that Smith would compile 10 tackles in the regular-season finale at Soldier Field.
