ESPN’s Over/Under For 2018 Bears: 6.5 wins

[Midwaymonster75]

Its going to take a lot of injuries and a train wreck of a season to not get at least 7 wins. I'm actually expecting no worse than an 8-8 season myself. Then again we still have to see if we end up losing any players in free agency and how this team shakes our after the draft as well. Too much still up in the air.

Its tough to say. My gut tells me this team is a 6 or 7 win team next year but you see teams go from the basement to the penthouse far too many times to completely rule out a playoff run. Too many question marks to say at this point.

But honestly, too early to tell. At this point, I would say 5-11 or 6-10. After free agency and the draft, maybe it could be 7-9 or 8-8.

At the end of the day, it's going to depend on how Trubs develops. If he has a Wentz/Goff like improvement, then even 11-5 is doable. But if he plays like he did last year, then definitely not better than .500.

If he plays like he did last year, the Bears might want to look at a new QB in the 2019 draft.

Why the fuck is this even being discussed? we have not had free agency or the draft.

That's why it's being discussed, because there's nothing else to discuss lol.

I'd be pretty happy with 8 wins at this point.

Even though it will be the 1st year of the new coaching staff, I can't see how it could be worse than Fox. That's addition subtraction. Add Trubs in his 2nd year and less injuries than this season, and I think we are looking at 8-8. And that is pretty much worst case scenario...

 

[Bearly]

A lot will depend on the plan with the O side. If they will try to maximize Trubs or install most of a diverse O. Either way, I would look at less than .500 as a disappointment.

If the Bears lose in double digits again, Snails's "rebuild" is going in circles . . .

 

[Midway Fields]

Stopped reading after ESPN. The network is a joke and has been for some time. They fired most of the good people and now have young guys running most of the shows and programs. They suck.

Oh gawd

It is ridiculously stupid and pointless to predict any win total or an over an under....therefore I predict 8-8

 

[Chicago Staleys]

It was 6 last year and most picked over. Vegas won and they usually do. However if this team doesn’t win 8 games then there was major problem.

 

[WindyCity]

Normal Draft and Free Agency: I think that 7-8 wins is about where the team is at.

Really Good Draft and Free Agency: I think they could have a 10-6 and wildcard run.

We need more mocks!! lol

 

[BearClaw55]

Over... For the 2018 version of the Rams.

I'm waiting to post my uncle's mock.

What? I thought it was common knowledge we were going to star 1-7 last year with a best case of 2-6.

 

[vabearsfan15]

I was really confident the Bears would win at least 7 games last year and the over/under was set at, I believe 5.5. I'm not a betting man, but I really wanted to take that bet. Looks like I would have lost...

 

[theOHIOSTATE!]

I am all over the over.....

Does it even matter, no.


Then again, what on here really matters, not much.

 

[Porkchop]

Over.

It's not possible to have a record breaking IR list for a fourth consecutive year...right? RIGHT???
