Jacksonville Jaguars vs Chicago Bears Prediction

I’ll stay with Chicago. The Bears put together a nice all-around effort in their win last weekend. Chicago posted 424 yards on offense (296 passing) with 24 first downs and zero turnovers. Defensively the Bears gave up just 292 yards (172 passing) and had three takeaways.

As for the Jaguars, they’ll be relieved to finally get into the win column but it wasn’t exactly pretty. Jacksonville had two turnovers and went just 3-of-10 on third-down tries. The Jags may have some marginal success against the Bears defense but I don’t think they’ll keep pace if Chicago can get into the end zone a few times.
