Chicago Bears 2025 Season Predictions: Win-Loss Forecast for Every Game
The Chicago Bears’ 2025 schedule is set, and with a fresh look, they’re ready to make their playoff push. While the road to the postseason won’t be easy, if the season unfolds as predicted, Chicago could have a strong shot at securing a wild-card spot.
Here’s a breakdown of each game, with predictions for how the season might unfold:
Week 1: vs. Minnesota Vikings (Monday, Sept. 8)
Prediction: Bears 20, Vikings 17
The Bears kick off the season at home against J.J. McCarthy and the Minnesota Vikings. Despite facing a tough defense, Chicago’s defense will step up to frustrate McCarthy, leading to a solid season opener for the Bears.
Week 2: at Detroit Lions (Sunday, Sept. 14)
Prediction: Lions 23, Bears 20
While the rivalry with Detroit is exciting, it’s too early for the Bears to win in a tough road environment. Detroit’s offseason changes add uncertainty, but Chicago will fall short in this one.
Week 3: vs. Dallas Cowboys (Sunday, Sept. 21)
Prediction: Bears 27, Cowboys 17
Back at home, the Bears face a Cowboys team that has made minimal offseason moves. If Dak Prescott struggles, Chicago’s defense will capitalize. This could be the moment Ben Johnson’s offense begins to click.
Week 4: at Las Vegas Raiders (Sunday, Sept. 28)
Prediction: Bears 24, Raiders 16
The Raiders are hard to predict in 2025, but with a veteran quarterback and a weak defense, Chicago should be able to keep their winning streak alive, especially after two strong weeks.
Week 5: Bye Week
A much-needed break after a solid start, giving the Bears time to recharge for the stretch ahead.
Week 6: at Washington Commanders (Monday, Oct. 13)
Prediction: Commanders 27, Bears 23
This is a pivotal Monday Night Football game. Despite Caleb Williams’ best efforts to avenge last year’s loss, Washington’s defense will hold off the Bears in a tough matchup.
Week 7: vs. New Orleans Saints (Sunday, Oct. 19)
Prediction: Bears 28, Saints 10
With the Saints’ quarterback situation in disarray after Derek Carr’s retirement, Chicago’s defense will dominate in an easy win for the Bears.
Week 8: at Baltimore Ravens (Sunday, Oct. 26)
Prediction: Ravens 24, Bears 16
Despite a strong start to the season, Chicago will face a tough test against a Super Bowl contender. The Ravens will be too much for the Bears on the road.
Week 9: at Cincinnati Bengals (Sunday, Nov. 2)
Prediction: Bears 27, Bengals 24
In a high-scoring matchup, the Bears will come out on top. With a more complete roster and superior coaching, Chicago will handle Joe Burrow and the Bengals in a statement win.
Week 10: vs. New York Giants (Sunday, Nov. 9)
Prediction: Bears 20, Giants 14
The Bears will get a breather after two tough AFC North games, with the Giants’ quarterback situation remaining a question mark. Chicago will win the game they should win.
Week 11: at Minnesota Vikings (Sunday, Nov. 16)
Prediction: Vikings 27, Bears 24
It’s hard to beat a division rival twice in a season. The Vikings, led by a more seasoned McCarthy, will edge out the Bears in a close, hard-fought game.
Week 12: vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (Sunday, Nov. 23)
Prediction: Bears 23, Steelers 10
As long as Mason Rudolph remains Pittsburgh’s quarterback, this is a game the Bears should win. The Bears’ defense will dominate, securing an easy victory.
Week 13: at Philadelphia Eagles (Friday, Nov. 28)
Prediction: Eagles 30, Bears 17
The Eagles remain one of the top teams in the NFC, and the Bears will come back to Earth in this tough matchup. The Bears will struggle to keep up with Philly’s firepower.
Week 14: at Green Bay Packers (Sunday, Dec. 7)
Prediction: Packers 20, Bears 19
In the first of two games against their biggest rivals, Chicago will give the Packers a tough challenge but ultimately fall short in a close game at Lambeau Field.
Week 15: vs. Cleveland Browns (Sunday, Dec. 14)
Prediction: Bears 28, Browns 16
With Myles Garrett as the lone bright spot for the Browns, the Bears will take care of business in this matchup, securing a relatively easy win.
Week 16: vs. Green Bay Packers (Saturday, Dec. 20)
Prediction: Bears 21, Packers 20
In a critical NFC North battle, the Bears will get revenge on the Packers at home, securing a narrow victory that could have major playoff implications.
Week 17: at San Francisco 49ers (Sunday, Dec. 28)
Prediction: 49ers 24, Bears 21
Although the 49ers might be on the decline, a tough road matchup will be too much for the Bears. San Francisco will edge out Chicago in a closely contested game.
Week 18: vs. Detroit Lions (Saturday, Jan. 3 or Sunday, Jan. 4)
Prediction: Bears 30, Lions 17
The Bears close out the regular season on a high note with a decisive win over the Lions, potentially securing a playoff berth in the process.
Final Record Prediction: 10-7
With a solid finish to the season, the Chicago Bears wrap up 2025 with a 10-7 record, earning a wild-card spot in the NFC. This would be a significant accomplishment for first-year head coach Ben Johnson, quarterback Caleb Williams, and the entire organization.
