Oh I have no betting experience - I have been to Vegas once and went to the horse tracks for the first time this year. I'm not about to judge y'all for being gamblers but I really am, for the most part, averse to it for myself. I do know that betting odds are affected by number of bets, and set in an area that entices the most bets possible.
Please read my comment as if I was saying that a semi-rational fan, or a TV personality, would predict a final score as a 4 point Bears victory as a vehicle for conversation. Pretend that my example is that Rich Eisen throws out his final score prediction of Bears 28 Jags 24 to spark conversation.

I dunno man, might be too busy figuring out how the Bears are going to be the first team to 3peat a Super Bowl.
As to the OP, I am thrilled Justin Fields is winning football games as a starting quarterback because that was pretty rare for most of his time here. The reason I was surprised the Bears did not keep him is his game is very complimentary to a team with a strong defense that wants to play a ball control heavy run offense. Arthur Smith has got him making smart decisions with his arm and loves taking advantage of his legs, combined with a strong defense, and the Steelers really were that perfect landing spot.
Still needs to hold on to the ball better as a runner, but nothing would warm my heart more than this being the kind of trade both teams win from.

Why are you marking that as a question? How would anyone know what you read?

A QB you can win with. Every QB the Bears have had since Orton the coaches and GMs refused to do it.
Come on 4th rounder. Baby needs a new +65yd FG kicker.

I think that's a good sign they figure out the other team and adjust to it. Let them start like shit and put things together to kick the other teams ass and I'm fine with that.
Rather start like shit, finish great and win than start strong and fizzle out and lose. The end is what really matters.

I feel like Fields is being a bit overrated this season.
Currently, he ranks 15th in completion %, 21st in yards per attempt, 27th in passing yards per game, 15th in QB rating, 20th in QBR, and 25th in TD passes.
The media talks about him like he's a top 10 QB this year, but he's playing more like the 15th-20th best QB in the league.

There is still talk he is going to get benched soon for Wilson. He has been mediocre, one bad game I think Wilson will get put in.

Trailing with 2 min or less he has a 40% comp with a 47 rating. So he still is struggling when it matters to win the game.
But only need a few more games to get that 4th so hopefully the D will keep them from needing him to win a game late and he keeps getting the start

QBR also heavily weighs rushing yards in key situations.
Which is why Mitch Trubisky was third in the NFL in QBR in his second year.
