Bears: Burning questions about the Kansas City Chiefs

9. Predictions for this game? Who comes out on top and who or what makes the biggest difference?

Oleszczak: The Bears don’t have much to play for at this point other than to play spoiler while the Chiefs are still trying to get the best seed possible in the playoffs. So, with that said, I’m going with my hometown Chiefs. I’ll say 27-17 Chiefs with a close score at half time and KC breaking away in the second half.

Takeaway: It will be an interesting battle to watch nonetheless however it appears as if Leigh Oleszczak thinks that the Bears will keep it close until the fourth quarter when the Chiefs offense will come alive and begin to make key plays to begin pulling away. This will likely be the case. The Bears, on defense particularly have shown that they can hang in games however they also do not seem of being capable of getting off the field when it matters most, mainly on third down. Should this be the case again on Sunday night, the Bears will be in for a long game that could see the defense gassed late in the fourth quarter if the offense is not able to produce.

It could even end up being a heavyweight battle that will see both sides trade punches back and forth until one of the head coaches steps up and calls a key play that could spark momentum and be a major difference-maker that will allow one offense to begin pulling away.
