David Haugh (6-8): Bears 27, Cardinals 21
The Bears are favored for a reason; the rare inferior opponent arrives in the Cardinals. Expect the Bears takeaways to continue with Kyler Murray taking risks. DJ Moore will remind us why he deserves a Pro Bowl nod.
Danny Parkins (6-8): Bears 28, Cardinals 17
Like everyone else I'm sure, I'll pick the Bears to win. I don't think this team has much quit in them, which is a testament to the character of the locker room and – yes – the coaching staff. The Cardinals played the Niners last week, and San Francisco usually leave teams a bit battered. Plus, this is a road game in the cold for an indoor team in the Cardinals.
Matt Spiegel (10-4): Bears 31, Cardinals 16
The Bears show they have fight and stick together. Whether it's for themselves or for coach 'Flus is up for debate.
Chris Tannehill (8-6): Bears 31, Cardinals 23
From my family to yours, Merry Christmas to all the Scoreheads out there!
Adam Studzinski (7-7): Bears 28, Cardinals 19
This is just simply a team that the Bears should beat. Justin Fields should do well against a bad defense. The Bears defense does enough to secure the win, and we all have a Merry Christmas.
Chris Emma (9-5): Bears 27, Cardinals 16
The Bears are 2-0 this season following losses in which they blew a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter. That isn’t exactly the calling card the Bears want, but it's a reflection of their pride from within. Make it 3-0 on Sunday as they go out and beat the Cardinals on Christmas Eve.
Evan Thomas (10-4): Bears 28, Cardinals 17
This is one of the few games on the Bears’ schedule that I figure should be a slam dunk victory for them. Can the Bears overcome all the negative talk this week about Justin Fields’ future and Matt Eberflus being on the hot seat after their collapse against the Browns? I say yes, as I have the Bears winning this game.
Kevin Lapka (7-7): Bears 31, Cardinals 17
On Sunday, the Bears will look across the sideline at a team that’s a prime example of the insecurity associated with landing the No. 1 overall pick. The Cardinals enter Sunday at 3-11 and boast a 27-34-1 record and no playoff wins with 2019 No. 1 overall pick Kyler Murray under center in Arizona. I expect the Bears defense to continue to thrive and the offense to look explosive against a Cardinals defense that’s allowing the second-most points of any team in the NFL. As the Bears deliver an early Christmas gift, it'll serve as a reminder that any NFL team taking a quarterback at No. 1 overall isn't always making the infallible move that many expect it to be.
