We made it to Week 1 of the Chicago Bears’ 2023 regular season.
For some teams, it will be their first chance to prove they are legitimate Super Bowl contenders. The expectations are more modest for others, like the Bears, who are coming off a three-win season. While the goal for the players and coaches should always be to win a championship, I think that Chicago’s fans would be happy with a team that finishes above .500 and either secures a playoff spot or fights hard for one to the bitter end.
Can they achieve even this relatively low bar? Time will tell, but for now, we’ll have to settle for predictions and best guesses. Let’s go week-by-week through their schedule and see where they end up.
