Can the Bears Win this Game? | Banged up Bears
The Chicago Bears lost their quarterback Justin Fields in the Week 6 loss and went to Tyson Bagent. He did not finish the game strong but came back strong with a performance that led to his first NFL win.
It is expected that Fields will miss this game as well. Bagent will continue looking for DJ Moore early and often. The former Panthers receiver has 636 receiving yards and five touchdowns on the season.
Also likely out for the Bears are running backs Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson. Those two missing leads the way for D’Onta Foreman. The running back had three touchdowns last week against the Raiders. Darrynton Evans will likely back him up as the running back core for Chicago.
The Bears are playing their first of back-to-back road games. Next week, the Bears are at the Saints. Then, Chicago will play on Thursday Night Football at home against the Panthers.
Can the Chargers Win this Game? | Disappointing Chargers in 2023
The Chargers started the season with back-to-back losses to the Dolphins and Titans. After that, the wins over the Vikings and Raiders felt like they could be back on track. But losses to Dallas and Kansas City have them in a pivotal spot. It has not helped that Austin Ekeler has been in and out of the lineup, but this is a team that struggles to run the football.
Joshua Kelley leads the charge now, as he is approaching 300 yards on the season. Keenan Allen appears to still be the top offensive weapon for the Chargers. He has 574 receiving yards and four touchdowns on the season.
Los Angeles will look to snap their two-game losing streak in this game. Then, the following week, the Chargers are on Monday Night Football on the road at the Jets. Following that, the Chargers host the Lions and then are at the Green Bay Packers just before Thanksgiving.
Bears vs Chargers Betting Prediction | Chargers Smash Bears
The Los Angeles Chargers absolutely have to win this game. There is no other option. If the Chargers do not win this game, they may not have a head coach and need to sell pieces from their team. It is not working. Not only should they win this game, they should win this game easily.
But it’s the Chargers, and nothing comes easy for them. In the end, though, Los Angeles gets the job done here.
Bet the Los Angeles Chargers -8.5 over the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football. Enjoy the game, and best of luck!
