David Haugh (2-1): Bears 30, Raiders 24
A second straight winnable game faces the Bears, who play a shaky Raiders team that will suffer from a home-field disadvantage. Bears fans travel well, and so does defense. Expect this to be the game the Bears discover their pass rush.
Matt Spiegel (1-2): Bears 30, Raiders 16
The Bears play well and get back to .500.
Chris Emma (1-2): Bears 24, Raiders 21
Like the Bears, I’m 1-2. I can’t quite figure this team out. I’ll side with my belief that Caleb Williams is taking off and predict the Bears earn a win in Las Vegas
Paul Pabst (1-2): Bears 27, Raiders 21
Can the Bears face the Cowboys defense every week? That would be lovely. The Raiders are OK but inconsistent. This won’t be easy, but the Bears have nice momentum.
Alex Kuhn (2-1): Bears 20, Raiders 13
Allegiant Stadium will prove to be the home-field advantage the Bears need to sneak past the Raiders in a bit of an offensive struggle.
Jakob Stutz (2-1): Bears 34, Raiders 24
The Bears get a home game away from home, which helps the offense keep comfortably cooking.
Sean Sears (3-0): Bears 28, Raiders 20
I’m hoping this is the week the Bears run the ball better and open up play-action touchdowns for Rome Odunze. I just have a feeling the Bears offense will do more than the Raiders. Ashton Jeanty could have a huge game against Chicago’s defense, but I think the Bears are going streaking in Vegas this Sunday. Anyways, back to the Cubs – please stomp the Cardinals this weekend.
Tyler Ferengul (1-2): Bears 27, Raiders 23
I’ve been torn on picking this game. I was leaning Raiders after the Bears’ blowout loss to the Lions and because of the Pete Carroll effect as head coach in Vegas, but I’m starting to lean Chicago after what it showed against Dallas. The Bears have a better roster than the Raiders. It’s just a matter of whether they can put a full game together. Ben Johnson turned a corner with the Bears last week, and I think their momentum continues at the Death Star on Sunday. Give me the Bears to get back to .500 and enter their bye week at 2-2 after a win against the pesky Raiders.
Clint Clouse (2-1): Bears 28, Raiders 23
This game is one the Bears need to win in order to carry the good momentum from their dominating win against the Cowboys. Caleb Williams looked awesome last Sunday and should exploit a Raiders defense that allowed 41 points to backup quarterback Marcus Mariota and the Commanders last week. But in the NFL, you’re never as good or as bad as you were the previous week, so this is a Raiders team the Bears can't overlook. Pete Carroll-coached teams are tough to beat, and games in Vegas always seem to have something wonky happen in them. Whoever wins the turnover battle will win this game, as cliché as that sounds. The Bears slip by in a close one.
Robbie Triano (1-2): Bears 27, Raiders 24
The power of a singular win has taken over the city of Chicago. The Bears Kool-Aid they're distributing from Halas Hall is flowing throughout the city and is now available at your local Jewels. And boy, I'm drinking it through a beer bong with Staley the Bear holding it up. The Bears are back, baby. Yes, the Cowboys are bad. But what I saw from Caleb Williams was real, damnit. Ben Johnson's play calls didn't look like what we had to endure from Luke Getsy or Shane Waldron. This feels different. Dare I say that there's ... progress? Yes, I realize I'm drunk off just one victory, but this feels and looks real. I'm sure a loss and heading into the bye 1-3 will make this a miserable fandom hangover that even Pedialyte can't cure, but I don't expect that. Yes, the defense is still battered and bruised. But I trust the offense, Williams, Johnson and the emergence of a star in Rome Odunze to overcome that. The Bears take care of business and continue the steady flow of Kool-Aid throughout the Chicagoland area. Bear down.
Tyler Buterbaugh (2-1): Bears 28, Raiders 17
The Bears are riding high after their win over the Cowboys. I believe Ben Johnson sparked this team, and players are stepping up at every position despite the Bears dealing with a few key injuries. The Raiders have one of the worst-ranked defenses in the NFL, and I can see Johnson wanting to come at them early like he did against the Cowboys. As for the Raiders’ offense, Brock Bowers is really the only threat despite Tre Tucker coming off a great game against the Commanders. Plus, Las Vegas can’t figure out how to use Ashton Jeanty.
