Chicago Bears 2025 NFL Betting Odds & Picks
Following the failed Justin Fields experiment, the Chicago Bears could blow another first-round draft pick at quarterback. Caleb Williams went first overall in the 2024 NFL Draft but had a rough rookie season in Chicago, sparking changes. New head coach Ben Johnson, the most coveted coaching candidate this hiring cycle and whose Detroit Lions offenses averaged an NFL-best 29.0 points per game when he was the offensive coordinator from 2022 to 2024, made sure that changed. Johnson's Detroit offenses, especially last season, were powered by Pro Bowlers up and down the offensive line, namely left tackle Taylor Decker, center Frank Ragnow, guard Kevin Zeitler and right tackle Penei Sewell.

2025 Chicago Bears Schedule, Results & Record
Johnson and general manager Ryan Poles went to work beefing up Williams' offensive line: they traded for Rams right guard Jonah Jackson. They then subsequently dealt for two-time first-team All-Pro left guard Joe Thuney from the Kansas City Chiefs for a 2026 fourth-round pick. The Bears pounced in free agency, snapping up the best center available in ex-Atlanta Falcons center Drew Dalman to a three-year, $42 million contract with $28 million guaranteed. They then gave Williams more playmakers to work with in the passing game in the draft, selecting Michigan tight end Colston Loveland and wide receiver Luther Burden III with each of their first two picks. That's a great way to maximize your first overall pick quarterback on his rookie deal.

The Chicago Bears are the NFL's foundation franchise. Founded in 1920 by George Halas, they have won eight NFL championships and one Super Bowl championship.
Halas coached the Bears in most of their seasons through 1967 and won those eight NFL titles. Mike Ditka, who played for Halas, was the head coach of the legendary 1985 Bears Super Bowl championship team. Virginia Halas McCaskey, daughter of George Halas, is the team's current owner. She is 99 years old.
With such a rich lineage, the Bears often cause their fans plenty of frustration. Since 1991, the Bears have made the playoffs only seven times. Their lone Super Bowl appearance in that span was in the 2006-07 season when they lost to the Indianapolis Colts.
The Bears go by the moniker of “Monsters of the Midway” based on their old tradition of physical football and strong defense. However, the Bears have had horrible defenses in the past two years, which has been the rule rather than the exception for most of the past twenty years.
Chicago’s 1985 team rates as one of the greatest in NFL history. The Bears went 15-1 en route to a blowout Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots. Chicago’s defense mauled the opposition all year and dominated at a level nobody had ever seen.
Mike Ditka coached that Bears championship team. He is the most popular player and coach in the franchise's history. However, there is the belief that the Bears should have won more championships in that era. Chicago let that 1985 season get to its head and never played with the same level of drive and discipline.

Wager Cash Out - How it works
