The 2021 Bears must lose as many games as possible.

I really think we end up with a top 10 pick.

Over/under at 7 wins.

And Rodgers back to the Packers would mean 2 more losses for CHI, so we ought to be able to agree to that, too.

We need them to lose as often as possible.

In 2021 I hate the Bears.

100%

Master Plan!

if they win more than 2 games on the road. Primetime road games at: Rams, Steelers and Packers, plus late season at the Seahawks, at the Raiders

But I think the Lions will be much better under Dan Campbell & Goff will have something to prove.

Giving them wins vs Bengals, Lions plus one more.

If they are 1-8 or 2-7 heading into their bye, they could easily check out for the rest of the season and play the rookies for experience.

NFC West: Sea, SF, Rams and AZ
AFC North: Pit, Bal, Cle and Cin
AFC 17th Game: LV
NFC 2nd place: TB and Giants

That looks pretty brutal!

Same as the Giants, sadly.

Week 1: 9/12 at Los Angeles Rams (NBC’s Sunday Night Football)

Week 2: 9/19 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Week 3: 9/26 at Cleveland Browns

Week 4: 10/3 vs. Detroit Lions

Week 5: 10/10 at Las Vegas Raiders

Week 6: 10/17 vs. Green Bay Packers

Week 7: 10/24 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Week 8: 10/31 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Week 9: 11/8 at Pittsburgh Steelers (ESPN's Monday Night Football)

Week 10: BYE WEEK

Week 11: 11/21 vs. Baltimore Ravens

Week 12: 11/25 at Detroit Lions (Thanksgiving Day Game)

Week 13: 12/5 vs. Arizona Cardinals

Week 14: 12/12 at Green Bay Packers (NBC's Sunday Night Football)

Week 15: 12/20 vs. Minnesota Vikings (ESPN's Monday Night Football)

Week 16: 12/26 at Seattle Seahawks

Week 17: 1/2 vs. New York Giants

Week 18: 1/9 at Minnesota Vikings

And that’s a pretty tough schedule. Obviously a lot can change but that schedule looks like 3 wins for the Bears.

of ESPN ranks the bears schedule as the toughest in the league based on current rosters.

Rodgers playing for GB is clearly in that projection

we’re getting a top 10 pick.

That's a very tough lineup. I'm thinking they might be favored against Cincy, maybe. If the Giants are what we hope they'll be, that's the only out-of-division game that looks winnable. There are always upsets, and maybe one or more of those NFC West teams falls off a cliff, but wow, that's nine miles of bad road.

I would take the under. That schedule is brutal. They play the NFC West and AFC North, neither division is a picnic.

You match up the Bears against the Bengals, Browns, Steelers, Ravens, Rams, Cardinals, 49ers, and Seahawks. 8 games and they'll be lucky to get 2 wins from that bunch. Then after their division opponents, it's Raiders, Bucs, and Giants. They could go 0-3 against that group

4-13.

Hoping Rodgers sticks with Packers for @ least one more season.
