Being the worst can sometimes be for the best. The Chicago Bears were the worst team in the NFL last season, and it led to one of their best offseasons in recent memory.
Without the need for a quarterback, they were able to parlay the top pick in the NFL Draft into wide receiver D.J. Moore, rookie offensive tackle Darnell Wright, and rookie defensive back Tyrique Stevenson. And they still have two extra draft picks from the Panthers in future years.
In free agency, the Bears also added linebackers Tremaine Edmunds and T.J. Edwards and guard Nate Davis.
Let’s see if Chicago Bears have what it takes to back the betting lines to win the Super Bowl.
Chicago Bears 2023 Season Betting Analysis | MyBookie NFL Betting Preview
Chicago Bears | 104th season as a member of the National Football League
Owner: The McCaskey Family
Head coach: Matt Eberflus
Home field: Soldier Field | Chicago, Illinois
Super Bowl Champions (+5000)
It’s a long road to go from No. 1 overall draft pick to Super Bowl champions, and it’s not a road the Bears are likely to travel in 2023. However, they are trending in the right direction. They are +5000 to win the Super Bowl this offseason, after being +15000 a year ago.
NFC Champions (+3000)
Last year’s surprise darlings in the NFC were the New York Giants. For 2023 the Giants are at +2500 to win the NFC, and right behind them are the Bears at +3000. These are Chicago’s shortest conference odds since 2020.
NFC North Champions (+400)
The Detroit Lions are the favorite to win the NFC North, and the Vikings are right behind them. But the Bears are not out of the running. At +400, they are better than the Packers, and these are the shortest odds for a division title since 2019.
When the Bears were surprise division winners in 2018, they started at +800 to win the NFC North.
Bears Win Total
This is a case of addition by subtraction. With Aaron Rodgers leaving the Packers for the New York Jets, Chicago’s biggest nemesis has left the division. Since 2009 the Bears have just four wins against Green Bay and 25 losses.
Chicago’s win total line for 2023 is 7.5, and removing those two automatic losses to the Packers is a huge step toward getting to eight wins. According to projected wins for 2023, Chicago has the fifth easiest schedule in the NFL and should be a cinch to improve on last year’s three wins.
Getting to eight wins isn’t that monumental. The Bears won at least eight games as recently as 2020.
Weekly Bears Betting
At no point last year were the Bears a good bet. They were 3-14 against the money line and just 5-11-1 against the spread. They failed to beat the spread in the two games in which they were the favorite, they were terrible as underdogs, and they even finished below .500 as home underdogs.
In early odds for the 2023 season, they are favorites in their home opener against the Packers. They are favorites in Week 2 at Tampa Bay. In fact, early odds have the Bears favorites in six games this season, including at home against the Raiders, at home against the Panthers, and at home against the Cardinals and Falcons.
They are favorites in five of eight home games in 2023, showing that oddsmakers expect this year to be much better in Chicago.
