The Chicago Bears have lost six straight games, including an embarrassing 34-30 loss to the Detroit Lions, where the Bears blew a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter and allowed the the lowly Lions to walk all over them.
It’s hard to believe this is the same team that started 5-1 this season. Especially as it’s possibly the Bears might not win another game this season and could finish 5-11.
In what will come as a surprise to no one, there’s not a lot of confidence in what Chicago can do, even against teams with losing records. The Bears have opened as 1.5-point home underdogs against the 4-8 Texans, according to BetMGM.
This is the 11th time this season that the Bears have been underdogs. The only games they were favored in were home games against the New York Giants in Week 2 and Detroit Lions in Week 13.
The Bears will be facing a Texans team that, despite a 4-8 record, is in a better position than Chicago. That has more to do with quarterback Deshaun Watson than anything.
Can Chicago break their six-game losing streak with a win over Houston? Or will Watson remind the Bears exactly what they’ve been missing? We’ll see when the Bears and Texans kick things off Sunday at Noon p.m. CT on CBS.
