Chicago Bears NFL Betting
In today’s NFL season preview we look at the Chicago Bears. When it comes to Chicago Bears NFL betting surprises are few and far between.
The Chicago Bears finished last season with a 5-11 record, which was good for last place in the NFC North. This season, they will be trying to get back into the playoffs for the first time since 2010, but the odds aren’t in their favor thanks to the tough competition in their division. Their NFL betting odds of winning the Super Bowl this season is +10000.
Chicago moved on from quarterback Jay Cutler last season, making rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky their starter. As expected, the rookie struggled, but he also did a lot of positive things to make the team believe he will be their franchise quarterback.
The Bears had a strong running game last season, led by Jordan Howard, who rushed for 1,122 yards and nine touchdowns. The team is also expecting a big season from Tarik Cohen, who rushed for 370 yards and two touchdowns last season.
Chicago’s offensive line is a question mark going into the season. Kyle Long will be ready for the start of the season after undergoing multiple surgeries, and will be needed to anchor the line and keep Trubisky healthy.

The Bears’ don’t have any big name receivers, but they picked up Taylor Gabriel, who was with the Atlanta Falcons last season and Allen Robinson, who they hope will provide them with a deep threat.
Betting on the Chicago Bears
Due to the success head coach Matt Nagy had as Kansas City’s offensive coordinator, there is reason to be optimistic about Chicago’s offense this season, but it might take some time before the pieces fall into place. For the latest NFL betting odds visit our homepage.
The Chicago Bears placed a lot of emphasis on defense this offseason. They resigned Kyle Fuller, and used four of their seven draft pick on defensive players, including linebacker Roquan Smith, whom they selected with the eighth overall pick.
Even though they won only five games last season and are playing in a very tough division, expect to see an improved Bears team that will cause problems for a lot of opponents this season.
