The 2024 Bears schedule has been released. As shown above, there are a few things of note:
Week 6: play in London; not sure what I'll do if the game's not over by the time we head for church
Week 7: BYE WEEK; so early in the season! ICK
Week 11: first game against a divisional foe; sure will make for a fun final third of the season
Week 13: play on Thanksgiving

While I am a big football fan, I am not a big football statistics guy. Nor am I a sports guru. Or a prophet. Or a fortune teller.
That said, INJURIES ASIDE, I think the Bears can easily win 8 this season. 9-10 is a definite possibility. 11 would seem a little unrealistic.
I think they'll go 3-3 in the division.
They must win Carolina, New England, Arizona, Washington, Tennessee. That would take them to 8-3.
Losses against San Fran, Houston & the Rams would make 8-6.
Picking-up a win against Indy would be great. That would be 9-6.
A win against either Seattle or Jacksonville would be #10.
Again, my 10-7 prediction assumes the major players (especially on a potentially EXPLOSIVE offense) stay healthy.
Any big losses on The O, and I'm saying a 10-7 season could easily flip to 7-10.
BEAR DOWN!!
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
