SF at 5-7 is favored by 3.5 pts at home.  They are playing after a SUN Night game in the snow in BUF, while the Bears are coming off their mini bye at Thanksgiving. SF has lost 3 straight and have been outscored 73-20 in their last two games. McCaffrey looks to be out for the year, so it will be interesting to see how they respond. 

With the Bears, it will all come down to how the team responds to Brown as the HC. The talent is there as they have been in every game this year outside of the ARZ game. Otherwise, they had a chance to win any one of the other 7 losses. They could've easily beat 3 of the top 10 teams in the league over the past 3 weeks. 

EPA/PLAY:

CHI OFF is 23rd, DEF is 10th (OFF has been top 10 since Brown took over as OC)

SF OFF is 10th, DEF is 15th

If the Bears offense plays like a top 10 unit, and the defense can play in the top 15, the Bears should have the edge in this game. The recent odds also suggest that the Bears as slight favorites. 

I am going with Bears 27-20

With all the pent up emotion, I think the Bears could well win this one.

And that brings us to head coach. A good HC like Dan Campbell makes the team feel the way we do right now every week, even if you're 12-1.

Technically this would be the easiest defense they have faced since Brown took over. Allen has looked much better/healthier, and most of the players should be well rested after the mini bye. While SF comes back frozen from Buffalo. That extreme weather change is tough.

49'ers have been hit hard with injuries all year. They'll be down to their 3rd string RB now. The opportunity is there for the Bears to win this game. It'll be interesting to see if we get a new coach bounce.

This game is actually going to be exciting because SF needs a win just as bad as the Bears. They are reeling too. They still have Kittle and Deebo, and Jennings, so the offense will be fine. It will be interesting to see if Bosa plays because if not, that DL is suspect.
