Week 3 - Cowboys at Bears - W
Week 4 - Bears at Raiders - W
3-1

Week 5 - BYE WEEK
Week 6 - Bears at Commanders (MNF) - W (2024 rematch with a much better team/coach, bye gives them an extra week to prepare)
Week 7 - Saints at Bears - W
Week 8 - Bears at Ravens - L
Week 9 - Bears at Bengals - L
2-2

Week 10 - Giants at Bears - W
Week 11 - Bears at Vikings - W

If the Bears can beat DAL in Week 3 at home and handle business in the division at home, they have a great chance at going 8-0 at home with the other games being NO, NYG, PIT, and CLE.

I'll take that.

I think teams with weak schedules who get the playoffs usually dont do very well. I kinda like a tough schedule, because if you succeed, you know what youve got?

Agreed.

Here are the QB matchups with what we know today. Depending on how you view Caleb, there will only be a handful of games where the other team has the better QB. Right now BAL and CIN? I don't think Goff w/o Johnson is better than Caleb w/ Johnson. I think Caleb is at least comparable to Hurts, Daniels, Purdy, and Love. 

Week 1 - McCarthy (first pro start)
Week 2 - Goff - 6th QBR
Week 3 - Prescott (3rd game back since injury + new HC)
Week 4 - Geno Smith (new team)
Week 5 - BYE WEEK
Week 6 - Daniels  - 4th QBR
Week 7 - Rattler/Shough
Week 8 - Jackson - 1st QBR
Week 9 - Burrow - 3rd QBR
Week 10 - Wilson/Dart
Week 11 - McCarthy
Week 12 - Rudolph/(Rodgers)?
Week 13 - Hurts - 10th QBR
Week 14 - Love - 5th QBR
Week 15 - Pickett/Flacco/Gabriel/Sanders
Week 16 - Love - 5th QBR, Love vs CHI in 2024 (1 TD, 1 INT)
Week 17 - Purdy - 7th QBR
Week 18 - Goff - 6th QBR (Goff outdoors in January)

9 games against top 10 QBR QBs, 8 games against non-top 10 QBR QBs. I expect Caleb to be a top-12 QB this year for QBR.
