Bears 2024 schedule with predictions for each game: Chicago’s path to the wild card looks even more likely

The Chicago Bears 2024 schedule has arrived and we now know when all of the team’s 17 games this upcoming season will take place.

The Bears have one of the easiest schedules in the entire league based on various strength of schedule measurements, but the only thing that counts is what happens on the field. Here’s my fun prediction for how the Bears’ season and all 17 games will end up in 2024.

Week 1: vs Tennessee Titans
Score: 28-13 L
This will be the welcome to the league moment for Caleb Williams and an early trap game for the Bears. It always happens every year to every team and this is the one I’m going with. Despite all the hate, I feel like the Titans are going to be much better than they are expected to be in 2024. Ran Carthon has overhauled this Titans’ roster much like Ryan Poles has done in Chicago. Will Levis will surprise a lot of people this year and this will be an early stumble out of the gate for the new-look Bears.

Week 2: at Houston Texans (SNF)
Score: 35-26 L
This Bears-Texans game already has high expectations and both teams will deliver on a primetime stage reminiscent of a heavy-weight slugfest. However, the Bears aren’t yet ready to go the distance and I could see the Texans running away with it by the end of the game. But, I expect this game to have everyone on the edge of their seats.

Week 3: at Indianapolis Colts
Score: 26-17 W
A game that has all the makings of being an early Sunday matchup could surprise a lot of folks who tune in to see two highly impressive young quarterbacks square off. A lot of hype surrounds Williams going into the season but the same can’t be said for Anthony Richardson, who seems to be heavily underrated going into Year 2 following his season-ending shoulder injury in 2023. I see this being Williams’ first win as a Bear.

Week 4: vs Los Angeles Rams
Score: 34-21 W
The Bears have lost each of the last three games against the Rams but haven’t faced off in Chicago since 2018 when the Bears won 15-6. Los Angeles has seemingly struggled going into the upper Midwest, losing at Green Bay twice and at Detroit over the last two seasons. This has all the makings to be a trap game for the Rams and could give the Bears a major head-to-head advantage in terms of Wild Card seedings.

Week 5: vs Carolina Panthers
Score: 28-10 W
After facing the Panthers during the 2023 season (Bears won 16-13), one team looks drastically more different than the other. Personally, the Panthers’ offense has no match for the Bears’ defense even with their new additions. As for the Bears’ offense, Williams will make sure Moore has a more memorable revenge game this time around.

Week 6: vs Jacksonville Jaguars (London)
Score: 20-26 L
This game in London is going to be a tough break for the Bears in more ways than one, I can already feel it. The Bears lost their last game in London back in 2019 and teams have struggled facing the Jaguars across the pond (Jacksonville has won 3 of their last 4 in London, including both games in 2023). To make matters worse, this technically counts as a home game for Chicago.

Week 7: Bye Week
The bye week comes at the perfect time for the Bears with the team is set to travel back from London after taking on the Jaguars. Having the week off after the trip to London allows the Bears to get prepared for the Week 8 matchup to combat any jetlag that might occur flying back across the ocean.

Week 8: at Washington Commanders
Score: 45-20 W
What was once the Bears’ largest win of the 2023 season will once again be the case next season. The Bears’ 40-20 primetime blowout in 2023 was the perfect game for Chicago’s passing game and most notably DJ Moore having an absolute field day against the Commanders’ secondary. That should be the case once again while fellow rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels struggles against Bears’ defensive end Montez Sweat, who will make his presence felt during his return to Washington.

Week 9: at Arizona Cardinals
Score: 21-14 L
After beating the Cardinals last season in Chicago, Kyler Murray will get his revenge against the Bears in Arizona with his new target Marvin Harrison Jr. continuing to build upon a potential Offensive Rookie of the Year resume. This would also be a big win for Jonathan Gannon and a big blow for Matt Eberflus at this point of the season.

Week 10: vs New England Patriots
Score: 31-14 W
At this point in the season, one would expect that the Patriots turn the offense over to rookie third overall pick Drake Maye making this a rookie on rookie matchup. Still, the Patriots are looking to be a shell of their former selves under new head coach Jerod Mayo and this should be a blowout in Chicago for the Bears, but may be a trap game.
