Bears at Chicago will be a meaningful game ...... who'd have thunk it?

I'm not that surprised. Bears defense is still good enough to keep them in every game. Expect another game in the low to mid 20's.

I see their D as getting older and fading, and I see Fields as basically crap. I expected Detroit to beat them.

Packers will remain #4 seed. NFC is loaded at the top.
