adam Posted yesterday at 02:06 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:06 PM Post Week 16 games. 2018 was probably the last time the national media had the Bears ranked this high. Here are the top 10 power rankings and the Bears ranking: CBS Sports - 4th Yahoo - 5th NFL.com - 6th Sharp - 6th NBC/PFT - 7th ESPN - 8th The Score - 8th Fox/Brady - 9th USA Today - 9th nfelo - 10th Average - 7.2 It feels like any team in the top 10 has a shot at the Super Bowl, the Rams are the closest to a complete team and they just lost to the Seahawks. If the Bears beat the 49ers, they have to be considered a top 5 team, which is hard to believe, and it is wild to see some rankings already have them in the top 5.

adam Posted yesterday at 02:07 PM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:07 PM The Bears also are 3-1 vs current playoff teams, the best record in the NFL against playoff teams, tied with the Chargers, but the Bears have the better pts differential in those games. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago If SF wins out, they get the #1 seed and never have to leave home. The SB is in SF . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEA has to lose to CAR and SF has to win their last two for the #1 seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixote Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago I know it's been said before, but help me out so I don't have to sort through all the posts to find it. What has to happen for the Bears to take the #1 seed? If we go 13-4, do we clinch it, or would we still need help? For the Bears to have a 1st round bye week to heal and prepare would be awesome.

Bears win last 2, SEA loses 1 of 2, that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we will need opponents of SEA this week or next to give us a little help. Odds are not great for the Bears to get the #1 seed, but then again, the odds before the season began for the Bears to have achieved what we have so far were probably far greater.

SEA plays in CAR this week, then in SF next week. Two tough games with coast-to-coast travel. SEA is favored by 7 over CAR, but are currently 4.5 underdogs against SF in Week 18. The Bears are only 3 pt underdogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
