Chicago Bears at Atlanta Falcons: 5 sizzling bold predictions
By Ryan Heckman
As the Chicago Bears travel to take on the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3, we provide some of the game’s boldest, hottest predictions.
The first couple weeks of the 2020 NFL season have been anything but predictable. The Chicago Bears are tied atop the NFC North with a record of 2-0, but their fellow 2-0 division rival has gone about winning in a much different way.
The Bears have won two tight games against two bad teams. There’s no other way to describe the start to the season. The Green Bay Packers, meanwhile, have blown out both the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions — two more bad teams, but the blowouts have been exactly what Green Bay needs to do.
Nevertheless, wins are wins and the Bears will take them any way they can. Going into Week 3, the Bears face another winless team in the Atlanta Falcons. However, this may be a bit of a different beast than either the Lions or Giants.
Much has been made about the Falcons’ collapse last week against the Dallas Cowboys. Comparisons to the 28-3 Super Bowl lead were certainly made, and the Falcons have surely heard a lot about it this week.
Make no mistake. This will be a dog fight. It’s a game which plenty will pick the Bears to lose. However, this defense in Chicago is for real, and Atlanta is going to be a test which will prove such.
Bold predictions on behalf of the Bears obviously have to end with a Bears win. But, how it’s done might be more of a surprise than you think. Five sizzling predictions regarding a Week 3 Bears win — let’s go.
