The Sun-Times’ experts offer their picks for the Bears’ game Sunday at the Titans:
RICK MORRISSEY
Bears 24-23
The Bears are coming off losses to the Rams and Saints in a three-game stretch that was supposed to tell us if they’re any good. They’ll rebound against the Titans just to confuse everyone. Season: 5-3.
RICK TELANDER
Titans 28-14
One of these teams is going to lose three games straight. That will be a heart-breaker for the loser. Consider these teams were once a combined 10-1. Then consider the Bears have an offense that resembles a child’s crayon depiction of the universe. Season: 5-3.
PATRICK FINLEY
Titans 21-20
The 5-3 Bears have been an underdog in all but one game this season — the home opener against the pitiful Giants. After punches and suspensions and injuries and a coronavirus outbreak, though, this feels like the week they run out of magic. Season: 7-1.
JASON LIESER
Bears 14-13
It’s rare, but sometimes rag-tag offensive lines band together and inexplicably deliver a viable performance. Maybe that’ll happen for the Bears. And while the Bears took the Saints to overtime last week, the Titans got drubbed by the Bengals. Season: 3-5.
MARK POTASH
Titans 24-20
The Bears are mired in a little difficulty with offensive line injuries and coronavirus issues that cancelled practice Thursday. They’ll rally as a team to keep it close. But against the Titans, it’s too big of a hill to climb. Season: 4-4.
