David Haugh (7-8): Bears 31, Falcons 19
On final day of 2023, the Bears will give Chicago sports fans reason for hope in the new year with their fifth straight victory at Soldier Field this season. The defense is too good. Is this Justin Fields’ last game wearing a home jersey on the lakefront?
Danny Parkins (7-8): Bears 27, Falcons 16
Justin Fields balls out in front of his next team as the Bears win.
Matt Spiegel (11-4): Bears 31, Falcons 17
Finally, the Bears have the offensive “explosion” that Justin Fields fans have been hoping for. He has his second career 300-yard game in the NFL.
Chris Tannehill (9-6): Falcons 34, Bears 30
Our editor Cody Westerlund has informed everyone on our staff that I’m still “in the hunt” and mathematically still alive in this picks competition (my 2022 championship celebration was apparently cancelled along with SoxFest). To win, I must zig when others zag and I have to assume that first-place Spiegs is picking the Bears. Therefore, I must pick Atlanta in order to make up ground. The reality is that I’d likely pick the Bears, but after watching the beloved struggle to put away the lowly Arizona Cardinals on Christmas Eve, I can easily talk myself into picking the Falcons.
Adam Studzinski (8-7): Bears 23, Falcons 19
The Falcons’ quarterbacks all suck. The Bears defense will force at least two turnovers, which the offense turns into points as the Bears win their last home game of the season.
Chris Emma (10-5): Bears 22, Falcons 11
In honor of our dear friend Jeff Dickerson, who died two years ago Thursday, I'm paying tribute with a Scorigami prediction – just as he enjoyed doing.
Evan Thomas (11-4): Falcons 27, Bears 21
The Falcons have had quarterback issues all season but have talented skill position players. The Bears could be showcasing JF1 for the ATL in this game as the Falcons loom as a possible trade destination for Justin Fields this offseason. Could we be seeing the last of Fields for the Bears? Before the season began, I thought the Falcons would win this game, and I still feel that way with Week 17 upon us.
Kevin Lapka (8-7): Bears 23, Falcons 14
The Falcons defense isn’t to be taken for granted, but the offense is still an enigma given how it utilizes some of the most dynamic players in the NFL. In what could be his final home game with Chicago, Justin Fields does enough to earn the Bears a win as they improve to 7-9 before a Week 18 tilt with the Green Bay Packers.
