USA Today projected the 2015 NFL season by playing out all 256 games. Bears fans are not going to like this.
USA Today has the Packers (12-4) winning the NFC North, followed by the Vikings (10-6), the Lions (7-9) and the Bears (3-13) with the worst record in the NFL.
Here’s what they say about the Bears:
Defense will look almost entirely different in terms of personnel and scheme. They can only hope QB Jay Cutler looks entirely different from 2014 version under new coaching staff.
It gets worse, Bears fans.
Here’s how USA Today predicts the playoffs:
AFC playoffs
Wild card: (3) Broncos def. (6) Dolphins; (4) Ravens def. (5) Bills
Divisional: (2) Patriots def. (3) Broncos; (1) Colts def. (4) Ravens
AFC Championship Game: (1) Colts def. (2) Patriots
NFC playoffs
Wild card: (6) Rams def. (3) Panthers, (5) Vikings def. (4) Eagles
Divisional: (1) Packers def. (6) Rams; (2) Seahawks def. (5) Vikings
NFC Championship Game: (1) Packers def. (2) Seahawks
Super Bowl 50:
PACKERS def. Colts
The bright side for Bears fans? If things go as predicted, Chicago will get the No. 1 pick of the 2016 NFL Draft.
