Carolina Panthers at Chicago Bears

 Chicago Bears vs Carolina Panthers would be cool in 2023 for obvious reasons.

The final game on this list could ultimately end up being the most exciting. On paper, neither of these teams is expected to make a run in the playoffs. But that isn’t what makes this an intriguing matchup.

After the blockbuster trade that happened between these two franchises this offseason, the two teams are going to be tied together for the foreseeable future.

In this trade, the Bears sent the first overall pick of the draft (which turned out to be Bryce Young) to the Panthers for the ninth overall pick, a second-round pick, a first-round pick in 2024, and a second-round pick in 2025.

The Bears got their star receiver to aid the development of Justin Fields and the Panthers got their franchise quarterback. At this current moment, it looks like a great deal for both parties.

Obviously, the Bears could have opted to part with Justin Fields and take the Alabama quarterback Bryce Young.

The fact that they didn’t go this route shows their faith in Justin Fields. The long-term effects of this decision are yet to be seen but a primetime matchup between the two franchises could end up being the first step in finding out.
