Bears 2022 predictions: Can Chicago shock everyone?

The Chicago Bears are preparing for the start of the 2022 NFL season against the San Francisco 49ers. The team is led by head coach Matt Eberflus and general manager Ryan Poles. They are expected to win three wins. Their schedule is favorable. They won six games last season. Bears Wire shares their predictions for Chicago’s 2022 season and predicts they will win seven games. It is possible they could surprise everyone. Matt Nagy has revamped the team's culture. He has done well in the preseason. His players have bought in. There are some young players with potential.

The Bears are rebuilding and have a lot of uncertainty at various positions. Head coach Matt Eberflus has instilled an identity in the team and players have slowly bought in. The roster isn't great from top to bottom, but if quarterback Justin Fields and offensive coordinator Luke Getsy can jell together, they can mask a few deficiencies. I see the Bears winning seven games, most of them before December.

The Bears had an impressive preseason, but they still have a lot of work to do. They will have many close games this season and finish with a record of 5-12.

The Bears have one of the easiest schedules in the NFL. They have a new offense and a lot of young players. The team will run early and often. With the right luck, the team may have more walk-off wins than heartbreakers.

The Bears are not a team that can surprise anyone this season. Justin Fields has the potential to be a star, but he can't do it alone. The offensive line is suspect, the receiving room is arguably the worst in the NFL, and the defense is a far cry from the unit that won a division title in 2018.
