Way too early Chicago Bears 2022 season predictions
By Todd Welter
Week 10 vs. Detroit Lions: Win
The Lions had a great draft and they should be a little better. The problem is the Lions are still the Lions. Jared Goff is still their starting quarterback.
Bears fans may not be happy with how the offseason is going but the Chicago Bears still have a bit more talent than the Lions.
This game is at Soldier Field so the Bears should be able to snap their predicted three-game losing streak.
Week 11 at Atlanta Falcons: Win
The Falcons traded away former MVP quarterback Matt Ryan to the Colts. Atlanta is hoping Marcus Mariota can revive his career.
He does have Kyle Pitts, former Bear Cordarrelle Patterson, and highly-regarded rookie receiver Drake London to connect with.
If Fields can make the performance leap the Bears’ front office and fan base hopes he makes, this is a game that screams Justin Fields leading the Bears to a road victory.
Week 12 at New York Jets: Win
Fields faces another quarterback drafted in the 2021 NFL Draft. Zach Wilson had a miserable rookie campaign. The Jets did draft Garrett Wilson at receiver.
Still, the Jets have even more work than the Bears do when it comes to upgrading the roster.
If Fields is playing well and the Bears are not riddled with injuries, Chicago should win its second consecutive road game.
