Looks like the odds will start at Bears -1.5 but they opened at -2.5, and it may change again with injury news.

The Steelers are in the bottom half of the league for offense and defense. With the schedule about to get extremely tough, this becomes another game they need to win.

Bears 27-20.

I have a popup blocker on, so I don't see any ads. Is there some crazy stuff going on in the ads?

PIT only sacked Flacco once. Chase Brown had 99 yards rushing on 5.5 YPC.  Flacco targeted Chase and Higgins 18 times and they only had 6 receptions. 

Rodgers had a 38.2 QBR and Rudolph had a 25.1 QBR against CIN. For Rodgers, that follows a game against LAC where he had a 4.5 QBR. Rodgers has looked really old and slow the last two weeks.

Looks like Rodgers won't play, still possible, but unlikely. So it will be Mason Rudolph. Can't lose to another backup QB after losing to BAL. They need to take care of business and get right at Soldier Field on Sunday. Sunday weather is forecasted in the high 40s to low 50s, partly cloudy, perfect football weather. Bears by double digits!

Bears OFF +0.02 x PIT DEF -0.04 / -0.01 x 66.7 plays= (-0.67 DIFF)   
25.8 Bears O x 23.2 PIT D + DIFF = 23.8 (24 pts)

PIT OFF -0.04 x Bears DEF -0.05 / -0.045 x 57.1 plays= (-2.57 DIFF)    
24.6 PIT O x 26.4 Bears D + DIFF = 22.9 (23 pts)

Congunkulator shows a close game 24-23, but that is with Rodgers at QB. If it is Rudolph, you have to believe that is at least 3 pts less for PIT, making it a 24-20 game.

Playing Pitt will be a physical game and will take advantage of mistakes much like we do. They have been Minny-NE-Colts which arent considered bad teams. Only two teams have went over 120 rushing against them this year. Their defense is much like ours, bad stats and make big plays. Offensively they (if Rundolph) will be throwing a lot to RBs and their TEs.  All under stuff like we seen against Minny. We need a better game from Caleb and we will be in the drivers seat.

The one thing PIT does well is prevent TDs. That has saved them. They are also 2nd in the NFL in missed tackles (Loveland game). I still can't believe how good the Bears defense has been on 3rd downs. Now they need to stop allowing first downs on first and second down so much.

3rd Down Defense:

CHI - 2nd (33.7%)
PIT - 24th (41.7%)

4th Down Defense:

CHI - 11th (53.3%)
PIT - 27th (72.0%)

Red Zone Defense (TD Rate):

CHI - 14th (58.3%)
PIT - 6th (51.4%)

Yards Allowed per Drive:

CHI - 22nd (32.5) 
PIT - 28th (35.1)

I can only log on when on wifi. For some reason, my cell internet browser cannot find www.talkbears.com. Did something change on this site?  I use duck for search engine and have Verizon.

I have TMobile, and I can sign on with safari on my iPhone when on cellular - I hope that helps?

T-Mobile and DuckDuckGo browser and no issues either with wifi or cell network.  Brave browser on the computer, or Epic.

Everything that wasnt working seems to be working now. It was a Cloudflare problem which a lot of the internet sites must use. 

These routes would seem to be open every time to me. We have had more TE involvement over the last few games. Need to do more.
