What is the chance that Bears make the playoffs?

Could the Bears be on their way to the playoffs for the first time since 2010? The oddsmakers believe so.

As of Tuesday, the Bears, who are No. 1 in the NFC North, have an 87.3 percent chance of clinching a playoff berth this season, according to at makeNFLplayoffs.com. Their odds increased more than 15 percentage points after their “Sunday Night Football” win over the Vikings.

All the Bears have to do to make the playoffs is win three more games. The task seems feasible given the fact they have the Lions, Giants and 49ers as three of their final six opponents. But then again, the Bears don’t have a lot of time to prepare for their Week 12 matchup Thursday against the Lions. They also could be playing without starting quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who didn’t practice with the team on Tuesday and is “day to day” with a shoulder injury.

The oddsmakers aren’t the only ones predicting the Bears will make it to the playoffs. Hall of Fame coach Mike Ditka believes the Bears are talented enough to win this season’s Super Bowl.
