The San Francisco 49ers head to Chicago to take on the Bears in a key NFL Week 8 game for both teams. But although some pressure will be on the Bears, most of the pressure will land on San Francisco.

Why bet on San Francisco versus Chicago?
San Francisco has a bad 2-4 record, but look at who beat them? Losses to Green Bay, Seattle with Russell Wilson, the Arizona Cardinals, who have started the season 7-0, and the tough Indianapolis Colts make sense. The last time SF played a team on Chicago’s level, Philadelphia in Week 2, they won.

Why bet on Chicago versus San Francisco?
Chicago has just 3 victories straight up and against the spread. 2-of-3 victories happened at home. A couple of the wins were against 2-loss teams, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Las Vegas Raiders. The Bears have shown they can hang with the best teams in the league. San Francisco isn’t playing as well as either the Bengals or the Raiders. So the door is open for Chicago to at least score a victory against the spread.

San Francisco 49ers versus Chicago Bears Final Betting Prediction
Justin Fields is a rookie. So it’s understandable that he’s struggling. It’s also understandable how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could have dominated the Bears last Sunday.
What’s difficult to understand is how the San Francisco 49ers lost 30-18 to the Colts in Week 7 after rushing out to a 9-0 lead. The only possible explanation is that the Niners aren’t a very good football team.
San Francisco quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo threw 2 interceptions and completed just 16-of-27 versus the Colts. The Bears’ defense allows 219.7 passing yards per.
Chicago held Joe Burrow to 207 yards and picked him off 3 times, meaning Chicago can contain a good quarterback. Yes, Chicago had no answer for Tampa Bay.
Tampa starts Tom Brady. Jimmy Garoppolo is no Tom Brady. Bears win straight up.
